Keep Calm And Pour More Cayenne On Hot Sauce

I think I'm finally down to the last of a Black Friday novelty sauce buy (this is a riff on the "keep calm" phrase of British origin, but they could have just called it Keep Calm and Cayonne...) from 2020 and it wound up being a case of saving the best for last. Sauces like this are kind of why every once in a while I'll do that, in that this was not a very expensive sauce, but goes a long way towards demonstrating one of my frequent points that you don't need much more for a good Louisiana-style sauce than Cayenne, vinegar, and salt. That is nearly all that is in that, save for xanthan gum. The result is a very low heat, but smooth and delicious sauce, more orange in appearance than red, but somewhat reminiscent of Trappey's Red Devil, the sauce that is my favorite, flavor-wise, in that category. There is more of the flavor of Cayenne here than abrasive vinegar, which is definitely more my preference.
Like most sauces of that type, it is pretty runny, though not quite watery. It does not come with a restrictor cap, but pours slowly enough that it doesn't really need one. It also tends to stick well to food, which is kind of interesting, considering there is no sugar component to this.
Bottom line: Sometimes the simple, non-complicated sauces, such as this, can be gold mines. This wound up being an unexpectedly excellent buy.
