As Americans steadily become more adventuresome eaters, we are now setting a place at the dinner table for hot sauce on a regular basis. Our mealtime macho has triggered a hot sauce growth spurt so great that hot sauce production has been rated one of the 10 fastest-growing industries in the U.S., according to a new report. The trend shows no sign of cooling off.
I have no problem with this, I love anything with a kick and we make all of our own salsa every summer. It isn't too hot, but it does have a kick. We also use hot sause on eggs and hash browns where some use katsup. Probably with the influux of Hispanics in the past 20 years and thus more Mexican restaurants we are accusotm to the added spice. Then we started seeing more vaireties of peppers in the markets and Asian food, which can be very spicey made its inpact as well. The days of grandma cooking everything fresh out of the garden using animal fat and little more than salt and pepper for the overcooked veggies are gone.
I cann't deal with anything hot anymore. Burnt my month a few years ago on real hot chocolate and never have been able to eat any hot again. It feels like fire.
Face it, sports fans: In Texas, hot sauce is just a way of life.
