Tim and Wendy Eidson (pronounced like Edison, but without the "i")
run Mo Hotta Mo Betta, a mail order business specializing in spicy
foods. Their catalogue lists 250 items, not only hot sauces and curry
makings but WASABI chips, JALAPENO ketchup, peppered peanut butter
and chile spiked honey. The catalogue opens with two pages of sauces
made from the HABANERO or Scotch Bonnet pepper, which American chile
fanatics currently applaud as the hottest in the world. A few
examples:

LINGHAM SON CHILE SAUCE: Malaysian-style sauce, sweet amd sneakily
hot. Fine chile aroma.

PICKAPEPPA HOT PEPPER SAUCE: Aged three years in wood, consequently
not always available. Mellowly vinegary, medium hot. (It shares it
rich, fruity bouquet, largely due to the use of rum vinegar, with the
better known and not particularly hot Pickapeppa Sauce, which
somewhat resembles A-1 sauce.)

HAWAIIAN PASSION: made with LILIKOI (passion fruit); a clean, hot
burn.

POBLANO GREEN JALAPENO SAUCE: local brand little known outside Tucson.
True JALAPENO flavour, medium hot. Same company also makes a good
bricky flavoured salsa ranchera.

CHOLULA: made with red peppers and PIQUIN peppers. Sharp and a little
funky, like a cross between a Mexican sauce such as Tapatio and a
Louisiana hot sauce.

LEE KUM KEE CHILE GARLIC SAUCE: a thick paste of peppers and garlic,
hot and rank-smelling; a grudge in a jar.

BUFFALO CHIPOTLE: hot and smoky-flavoured, made from dried smoked
JALAPENOS. A condiment, but would be interesting in cooking as well.

DAT'L DO IT: from St. Augustine, FL., which claims the only place
where DATIL peppers are growns (botanists may disagree). Interesting
vegetable aroma, fairly hot.

SPITFIRE HOT PEPPER SAUCE: a sauce from Barbados containing onion,
vinegar, mustard, horseradish, radish and HABANERO peppers; tastes
like mustard, burns like pepper.

GOURMET WEST INDIES CREOLE HOT PEPPER SAUCE: a thick, reddish-brown
sauce that has been made on the island of Dominica for 50 years;
elegant, winey HABANERO aroma. Quite hot.

MATOUK'S WEST INDIAN STYLE HOT CALYPSO SAUCE: a real hot-sauce lover's
sauce, sold in a big jar (and definitely not for the cautious; the
mouth is wide and there's no way to pour just a drop). Hot, flat out
HABANERO flavour with a hint of sweet and sour.

JAMAICAN CRUSHED SCOTCH BONNET HOT PEPPER: exquisite fresh HABANERO
aroma, like all fresh vegetables in one. The pastel yellow orange
colors, reminiscent of a Tequila Sunrise, are deceptive; it is
extremely hot.

HELL IN A BOTTLE: The hottest item in the Mo Hotta catalogue,
essentially apple sauce plus lime juice, garlic and so much chile the
color is grayish plum; must be refrigerated after opening. Violently
hot; label openly refers to it as "a test of friendship or guts."
"Frankly." Tim Eidson says, "I can't think of anything you'd serve it
with."
