Mac, you have a very warped and sick mind - if you want to pursue that line of enquiry, just ask Gryphin what he gets up to with marmots!!

Gryff, I dream of being on the sofa, this is where I get to be if I have leapt tall buildings in a single bound, flown through the air like a bird and picked up a train all by myself. Unfortunately, I am normally on the cat's cushion (ie a cushion in the hallway that the mogs sleep on) because normally I trip over the kerb, fly through the air because I have forgotten to pull my underpants up and say "look at the choo choo"

Mac, personally, I think Tesco is winding us up (apologies tesco if you digestive tract is made of reinforced tungsten) - that recipy is just not edible

cooking instructions

Here are the ingredients

4 Limes
2 large Onions
4 Sweet Red Peppers
4 Green Peppers
lots of Red Chilli Peppers ( around 100)
12 Habanero's
12 Chipotle
30 Sweet Peppers
25 jalepeno's
30 cayenne
4 carrots
1 to 2 whole clove of garlic ( or is it bud )
salt
pepper
dried chillie powder
1 spanish onion
water
white vinager
12 tomatoes

1. Chop up all the onions and put them in a bowl.

2. Seperate the garlic buds for roasting.
3. wash the tomatoes and place them in a bowl
4. Shread the carrots and put them in a bowl
5. Get the blender out and the biggest pot you have in the house to hold the sauce.
P.S.( this makes 12 500ml jars)

Preheat oven to 375 and then roast the garlic
In a frying pan cook the onions for 7 minutes and then add the carrots and cook for another 10 minutes.
Drain the onions and carrots and blend then in the mixer until they are pureed (SP)
Add the roasted garlic buds and continue blending

Pour this mixture into the big holding bowl

Now blend the tomatoes and add this to the bowl

CLean up the area. and the bowls and get ready for the next phase

1. Peel the limes and cut in quarters and place in a bowl

2. Get the vinager ( 1L to 1.5L )and set aside
3. Set aside 500 mL of water
4. Pour the spices you want into a small cup and set aside ( cumin, pepper, chilli powder etc... )
5. set the salt aside as well.

6. Make sure you have everything in place and a few empty bowls for the stems and seeds of the peppers.

7. Wash the sweet peppers , green peppers and red peppers.
8. Cut the peppers and practice removing seeds and stems.
9. Add the peppers to the blender and blend them into a liquid ( add vinager and water to get the blending going , ( this is done by judgement and experience))
10. Add them to the pot
11. Blend the limes and add them to the pot
12. Give the big pot a stir ( for about 2 minutes )
STOP
Now add the spices and give it another stir.
Taste the sauce. It should be sweet with a garlic aftertaste. The limes should kick in right before the garlic takes over. The texture should be as a thick sauce ( thicker than tabasco with tiny chuncks of stuff!!!) Almost like a stone ground mustard.
Now determine if you will need more of any of the previous ingredients and if you do get them ready to add to the sauce ( but set them aside until the next step is done)

13. Put gloves on and wash the cayenne ,chipotle, jalepeno and chilli peppers.
14. Set them aside to be cut up.
15. Wash the Habanero's and set them aside.( Be very careful with habanero's)
16. Put the mask on
17. Cut up the cayenne peppers and remove the stems and seeds (set them aside in a bowl).
18. Blend the cayenne peppers as you did the sweet peppers and add them to the pot.
19. Repeat this task for the chipotle, jalepeno and chilli peppers ( Remember to remove the stems and seeds and set them aside )
20. cut the habanero's and remove the stems and seeds ( keep them seperate from the other stems and seeds and put the habanero's aside as well )

21 blend the sauce in the big pot for a few minutes.
22. taste the hot sauce. It should start out with a little heat and then the garlic and limes should mellow out the heat.

Stop. If you like the sauce at this level then your done.
IF you want more of a lime taste or garlic taste then add them now. Blend and taste until your happy with the taste of the sauce.

The sauce right now should be thick and you should be able to use it as a dip for tortilla chips.

But if you want some more heat start adding habanero's and the seeds to the blender ( leave the habanero seeds and stems out of this for now )
Blend alittle at a time and then add them to the sauce until it hits your desired heat level.

IF it is still not hot enough then add the habanero seeds to the sauce .

Now you wondering what do I do with all this hot sauce.

You will peserve it.

12 500 ml jars.

(P.S. add more vinager and water if it is too thick)

Or if you just made alittle then use it that night.

I usually let the sauce sit for about 4 weeks before I crack open the first jar.

But that is my hot sauce

Ah, finally, the appropriate devotion! So, lesser one, know this! Of course I know ALL the names and all your sins but if you are not that mighty you can just turn around the CD with the Shrek soundtrack where you will find the even lesser ones that made this songs and read the name from the booklet. As the German proverb goes: The one who is able to read has a clear advantage!

Fair comment Mephisto - the matching English proverb goes "he who is sad enough to buy the CD of the Shrek soundtrack will always win a competition as to who sang what" - this is also qualifed by the other Englosh proverb which says "always be nice to a German who has bought a CD, if you are unlucky, it may be the scorpion's greatest hits and he will insist on singing them all to you"

Mac, get a load of this, ol' Gryff is obviously a bit of a studley dudley, how many has he got (unless he is talking about the sticky pressed desert legume thing) - you would never believe it from looking at his website pictures!

Stand-up comedian? how could I compete with anyone from a nation that produced Jerry Seinfeld and Peewee Herman!!

I'm neither sad nor evil enough to sing you the Scorpions. Even a devil has his pride.
