that rooster is the Asian equivilent to the skull and crossbones.

You have been warned.

sorry about pic quality, tears were streaming from my eyeballs and I could barely see.

Cry Baby

Good stuff right there!!!!

Try dipping pieces of mild cheddar in it.

(for some reason, sharp doesn't work)

If it hurts that bad going in, wait until it decides to depart. Best have a fire extinguisher handy, along with a bucket of ice and some Tucks pads.

Ahhhh, Sambal Oelek....

Nothing but jalepeno chilies, salt, vinegar and some perservatives to keep it from fermenting.

I go though an 18oz jar of this about every 2-3 weeks. Wish I could find it in the 5 or 6 lb jars that they sell the chili-garlic paste in.

hot, blazingly hot, but GOOD! Took me less that 5 days to eat the jar--I mean the contents of the jar.

Hot?

I always thought it was pretty mild myself. I just like the flavor, spread it on toast in the morning.

^ Yes--Hot!

a teaspoonful makes the top of my head start sweating!

and the chili-garlic past is hotter yet.

I see flesh dripping of sweat already.

Sambal and Sriracha FTW!!!

I always have a jar of that on hand.

RE #9

Not to me. This is both a blessing and a curse - I have to be very carefull cooking/preparing anything spicy that anyone else is going to eat, I've made stuff that I thought was medium at best, and when I served it, people's heads were exploding like in that movie Scanners.

RE#10

All of Huy fong's products start out as Sambal Oelek. The Chili-Garlic paste is Sambal Oelek + garlic powder. **** Sauce is Sambal Oelek + sugar + garlic powder and pulverized into a sauce. From a Scoville units persepctive, Sambal Oelek, being undiluted, would actually be the hottest.

That stuff aint so bad...

they offer reasonable (below retail) sampler packs

Sounds good to me. TG; where can I get some?

^ummmmmm..........dude.

look up.

dat look yum((my best native voice))

TG, I think you and Andy must have one of the new bionic Kevlar mouth-linings (available at fine surgeons everywhere) which enable enjoyment of this stuff without suffering...the flavor is awesome, but the heat is kind of hard to take .
