Grace Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce

Grace Scotch Bonnet Hot Pepper Sauce

A while back, I reviewed another of the Grace products, their sort of generically-named "Hot Pepper Sauce," which you can access via the TOC, if you want to read that review. It was a pretty positive review. Scotch Bonnet are also a pepper that has my immediate interest, if I come across it. It is often paired with onions, so I don't enjoy it in sauces as much as I like, but like fire-roasted anything, if I see it, I'm immediately interested.

With those two things going for it, this should have been an easy slam dunk, but instead, a sauce I was greatly looking forward to enjoying turned out as one of the worst things I've ever put in my mouth. I have no idea where it went wrong, but fighting back a gag reflex to smell, let alone eat, the sauce, is several bridges too far. Even if it wrecks my streak of filming a video for every sauce in 2020, that streak ends here as this sauce is unusable. From my attempts, it does have an ok heat factor, but the flavor (and odor) is noxious. Maybe the sauce went bad, I don't know, but it comes out with the thickness of gravy and is repulsive. I had harbored, for a bit, the thought that I could mix it in with something, but even that failed, and then wrecked what I was attempting it with. That, naturally, was the final straw and my disappointment is great.

Bottom line: I have no idea who would conceivably enjoy this, but it wasn't miss. An offensive waste of good Scotch Bonnet peppers.
