In Which Claude tries to Blow Up Boy Family Rules

Had a very pleasant and fiery visit with the Boy Family Rules last night.



I was very honored to be greeted by the smells of peppers and onions in a cast iron skillet, and a large assortment of sauces. Little did my unsuspecting guests know, I had a little surprise of my own in my pocket. That surprise is pictured to the right.



After sampling the fine sauces arrayed on the dining room table, Mike finally asked, "So how hot is this stuff in Scovilles?" Mike, Scoville and I go back a ways. In fact, Mike is responsible for broadening my horizons beyond the regular Rockford grocery store offerings. I still remember my first taste of Doc's Jamaican Hell Fire on Gardetto's Mustard pretzels. It's been Mo' Hotta Mo' Betta ever since. But I digress...

According to Mo' Hotta Mo' Betta, Dave's Insanity tips the scales at 51,000 scoville units. For comparison, Tabasco barely makes Flyweight at between 2500 an 5000 scoville's. While Da' Bomb's Beyond Insanity makes Heavyweight at 119,700 scoville units. Sure there are some in the Super Heavyweight class, but just as in boxing they're just the freaks, or as Mike put it, "just chemicals."



Thanks again to the Boy Family for plying me with mexican food, hospitality, and above all, hot sauce.
