Crazy Jerry's Biker Trash D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. Habanero-Garlic Hot Sauce
Runaway winner for the longest title (at least in my memory) of a hot sauce name, way longer if you break out the D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. acronym ("Do I Look Like I Give A Fuck", in case you need the translation, though that phrase really doesn't particularly need an acronym and having an excessively long one sort of defeats the entire purpose of acronyms anyway and I digress...).
It took me a while to place this sauce but it finally struck me tonight...this is essentially a doctored sauce, in that it starts with an unnamed Lousiana-style hot sauce and that is one that is very heavy on the vinegar side and then mixes it with an approximation of something like A1, so you have basically a very vinegary steak sauce. It isn't bad, per se, just very unusual. Perhaps unique is more the word. It does have a very black peppery aspect, which I do like quite a bit.
The bottle says it's sauce made by bikers, for bikers...and then for everyone else, which is meaningless copy. Given the earlier description, it's probably not much of a stretch to envision it as relatively tame, which it is entirely. Given the blend, it also doesn't really mesh extremely well with a lot of foods, but generally adds more than it detracts.
Bottom line: I can't imagine bikers making this a staple more than anyone else, but I suppose the copy and hype might work for some...doesn't for me. Interesting, but still one and out.
