Houston Hot Sauce Festival - take 2!

It was that time again – The Houston Hot Sauce Festival! It is hard to believe a year has gone by and we went to this last year on Stuart’s second weekend in the states. Just as he did last year he went all out to prove he is a chilli monster. We had quite a group of us this time and Stuart found some others with a similar passion for the heat (therefore did not put much attention on me having to try some very hot sauces!).

There were lots of stands and they left the best (or most evil) to last of course. The only one that nearly killed me was a chocolate habanero sauce – it tasted of yummy chocolate for about 2 secs shortly followed by seriously burning throat – not so pleasant! Of course I did not attempt one of the hottest hot sauce in the world unlike some others! Let me tell you they came away with a foam chile-head hat and a coozie but based on Stuart’s expression last night the pain keeps coming. Even as he was sweating the chilli was coming through his pores and burning his skin!

After all the tasting there was time for some normal food – hot dogs and burgers and of course frozen chocolate dipped bananas – oh Stuart!!
