We — that’s the royal we — have a serious chili pepper problem. It’s a total addiction; capsaicism, we suppose. Suffice to say we haven’t found anything that chemical heat doesn’t make better.

So the very thought of Paul at eatnz’s Thai-influenced chile-infused cocktail, complemented with tropical flavors of coconut, ginger, cilantro and citrus, sends us into fits of apoplexy and uncontrolled salivation. Just park us on the beach with a steady stream of those, please.

I know I do. But Hot Sauce Blog has got a penchant, nay a passion for all things culinarily incendiary. The whole site is mouth- and eye-wateringly chock-full of chile-based chatter. Be sure to check out their numerous reviews of hot sauces, lest you waste valuable time and money on subpar sauces. They’re all put to the test on crackers, eggs and, um, pancakes and rated accordingly. Hotness is the new hottness — you heard it here first.
