From Matt's Hot Shop in Victoria, Australia. Hot Ones got me addicted to trying different hot sauces a few years ago, and Matt's produces some of my favourites. The two on the right I've had before, and are amazing, but the others are new and very delicious. The apple pie one will go well with my pork, apple and fennel sausage rolls, I reckon. Fruity hot sauces are some of the best.

They also make a dill pickle one called Dillions that I always have in the fridge. Highly recommend their work.

Thankyou for letting me nerd out about hot sauce.

Here's my collection of dead bodies.

    Is there anything hotter in the pic than the Apollo sauce?

    That one is still in the fridge. I don't use it much. :)

    :-)

    There are places around here that are just starting to carry hotter sauces locally. It's a nice surprise given how niche some of the hotter stuff is.

    Same here. Unlikely ones. One is a Mexican restaurant that has a couple of cabinets of them in the entry, which is where I got Da Bomb, and one is an independent bottle-shop with a selection on the checkout counter. Mostly I get them by mail, though.

    I also have The Last Dab Experience with the pepper X. It's still not as brutal as Da Bomb.

    There's and even hotter Da Bomb (which I also have and use very sparingly) called Ground Zero that has twice the schovilles of Beyond Insanity. If you really want to test your mettle, give that one a try. I don't recommend it, though. It tastes bad.

    Hot Apple Pie sounds interesting... Is it actually apple pie flavored? 🤔

    It really is, including cinnamon. It's apple pie, and then the heat hits. It's a medium heat. Very delicious.

    The Chinese would love that with some meat, and the Europeans would shudder at the thought of that.

    I'm euro, but I'm all in with the Chinese on that one. Looks yummy as heck!

    I currently have 3 of these on the go!

    The picante one and the papaya one (it's the darker red) are both fantastic.

    The Chinese one is good too.

    I would also highly recommend Nomad Chili Co. The guy runs it himself and is based out of Ballarat. He's a chef by trade and he's super nice and knowledgeable.

    He goes to markets, and also sells it at other shops and restaurants. We've just run out, so we'll be going to get some more soon!
