Submitted by Manami

"This condiment is that little something extra that pours on the flavor; it will spark your taste buds. It is hot but the flavor is smooth - does that make sense? Country Living Magazine July 2008 edition. NOTE - don't forget to take care of your eyes! This is great with eggs, meat dish, vegetables & so on."
