I just had some tonight, pickled herring fillets on cucumber slices. I already drained the brine and gave them a rinse and a pat-down, to hopefully get rid of some of the sugar.

Once a catte visited our yard, and I tried to feed him 'dines. I only had spicy ones in oil (don't remember the brand), but I rinsed them off in the sink so he wouldn't burn his tongue, and put them outside in a bowl.

Wouldn't you know it -- he sniffed them, but didn't want anything to do with them! I guess beggars can be choosers.

I tried to feed a girlfriend's cat some smoked salmon I'd gotten in college one time when I really didn't have the money to spare on smoked salmon and the little bitch just sniffed it and walked away.

I highly, highly, highly recommend pickling those little red and green Thai chilies you can find in the summer. If you like heat they're amazing on sandwiches and they go great with sardines on crackers or toast.

Pickled, they soften and their fruity flavor comes out a bit. They're still hot as hell though. Man, I love them. I can't wait to find some this year.

I just posted this in the Hot Sauce thread in Something Offal, but it makes sense to ask here too:

Has anyone ever tried neonata? It's an Italian condiment, a spicy relish made of crushed hot and sweet cherry peppers and salty young anchovies in oil. It looks like that Wickles spicy sandwich spread (which I really like), but I'm sure it's completely different -- spicier, richer, funkier.

It sounds amazing, but I've only ever seen it on Amazon, where it's very expensive:
https://www.amazon.com/Coluccio-Neo...onata+anchovies

But this Saveur article, which brought it to my attention, is tempting me:

I have tried it! Because of that same saveur article. It's good. Mildly spicy and mildly funky. Oily. I'd like to buy it again some time. I put it on pizza once and found that the pizza flavors overpowered it. Good on toast as an app if you ever do that kind of thing and have friends who would venture into that territory.

E: you can also get it from specialty Italian grocers. IIRC I got mine from Supermarket Italy, maybe because it wasn't on Amazon at the time

I live in a surprisingly great city for specialty and ethnic grocery stores (Orlando), but we don't have an Italian market. I'd kill for something like Eataly in Chicago or DeLaurenti in Seattle (been to both and fell in love with them), but the closest one we have is in St. Petersburg, two and a half hours away.

Yeah it'd be awesome to sample something like that before you have to commit to a jar.

Valentina is an excellent general purpose sauce. I use it as wing sauce straight up when I'm feeling lazy, and around here it's like $1 a bottle

It's in my trifecta of sauces I must always have around with El Yucateca XXXtra Hot and a local fatalii sauce

There's a kind that restaurants never carry that's a sort of raw color. It's a lot hotter with an even better flavor. It's where I put my pin down on what sauce is the best balance of heat and flavor

The only places around here that have it are a little Asian grocery store, and Wal Mart



It's ~12,000 scoville if that means anything to you. Tobasco is like 4k

I love their black label reserve version, it's really unique compared to other habanero sauces I have because of tons of smokey roasted flavor and I use it on everything. That plus green tabasco, melindas, and chile lime cholula round out my most used list.

The best part is these sauces are only like $2.50 a bottle tops, usually a lot cheaper
