"hot sauce blog" news and stories

Nick Lindauer over at the Hot Sauce Blog recently posted a link to an interview with Belizean hot sauce maker Marie Sharp. Sharp was the original creator of Melinda's line, and she discusses, in detail, how she lost the name to her U.S. distributor. Sharp describes the origins of her hot sauce line, from growing peppers for local friends to eventually finding her products on the shelves of Wal-Mart. The interview was originally published in Belize Magazine, so many of the questions pertain to Sharp's relationship with her country-local fruit, animals and history. It's an interesting read for you hot sauce buffs.

I had no idea that Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry had a line of hot sauces, let alone that he and his business partners are gearing up for a re-launch with new products. All this I learned from a recent post on The Hot Sauce Blog by Nick Lindauer. The post pointed me over to SweetNSpice.com, which seems to stock a full line of Perry's sauces like the Rock Your World Boneyard Brew hot sauce pictured here. For an extra buck-fifty you can get a bottle with a guitar pick, and for an extra $90 you can get autographed bottles. I know that there's another hot sauce that comes with a tiny little spoon. It seems like an Aerosmith hot sauce would have one too...
