It's all the same fucking spices on all dishes

Hear me out: garlic improves basically everything but sweet stuff. it should be in everything.

Your hot sauces suck ass too.

Okay, what are your recommendations, I'd love to compare with my spice cabinet full of only flavorful hot sauces that aren't chemical bullshit and see if there's anything new I should be adding to the collection.

I don't have any. I live in a commune with an Ecuadorian chef who makes hot sauces for us, so I'm no longer subjected to all the weird supermarket shit. Move in with a Zapatista I guess.

Garlic.

Yes!

god damn i'm jealous. i have a handful of supermarket ones, but mostly it's stuff I've had to import from latin america or asia. hot sauce availability in canada is mid.

hot sauce availability in canada is mid.

:yea: I guess maybe go ask your local Latin American restaurant (if there is one) wether you can buy their sauce? Long shot I guess

I'm pretty sure it's fucking all tapatio lmao. On the better side of store bought, but I live in the tiniest province so availability of basically anything interesting is low and there are like 3 Latin American restaurants I don't have to take a ferry to another province to visit.

Cyclable-ness and needing the ocean. Much like a 19th century sick person in a cosmic horror story, I was told the sea air would do me good, and it has. The only weird thing I've discovered in the Maritimes has been Newfies, unfortunately.

Why so, don't you have Nova Scotians, langoustines and the like, in your proximity?

langoustines

I tease out of love, people out here are really friendly. There's just a tragic lack of Lovecraftian mysteries for me to unravel to give my life meaning and then drive me into all-consuming madness. I was hoping for Azathoth of Green Gables and instead all I got was cheap fish and really good seasonal produce.

If you have the time/space and fresh chilies available to you, lacto fermenting chilies with some spices and garlic, then blending them makes for amazing hot sauces that you can tailor to your tastes. It's remarkably easy and safe to do.

I did this with habaneros, onion, and garlic and it turned out amazing. Only thing I would change would be stopping the fermentation at like 7-10 days instead of letting it go for two and a half weeks. Too fermented for me, but my friends love it.

Nearly all of Central Europe, Turkey and the Levant agree with you there. I do, too. Garlic is flavor town central.
