Mover and Shaker Dave Hirschkop Knocks Our Socks Off With His Brilliant Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce, Surely the Hottest in the World!

Mover and Shaker Dave Hirschkop has done it again! 
At nearly every meal, I find myself reaching for some extra spice. Sometimes I grab some dried pepper flakes, sometimes chili paste, and sometimes a bottle of hot sauce. Many times, whatever I reach for just isn't hot enough. That was until I reached for Dave Gourmet's Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce. This hot sauce will literally knock your socks off! If you love heat, you will love this sauce. Just make sure to use in moderation! I added a bit to some tomatoes and eggs I made for breakfast, and I don't think my taste buds will ever be the same again!
HOT DOG!!! Nothing says summer more than hot dogs. Or in this case… chili dogs! The Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce is the perfect ingredient to heat up your chili and chili dogs. It’s aptly named “scorpion” because it will sting if you’re not anticipating the heat… and maybe even if you are! All you need is a cooked hot dog, some of Dave’s pasta sauce (I used the Organic Roasted Garlic & Sweet Basil), ground beef and black beans. Heat it all up with a drop – yes start with a DROP, you’ll be amazed at how much kick there is in just one drop – of Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce, and add more to your taste. If you like it as hot as you can possibly make it, this is for you!!!
Not for the faint of heart, to be sure, but if you've that friend who "just loves hot sauce", this is the one to put on the table. As a drizzle, on your gazpacho , where the cool of the cucumber can balance the heat, it's a zingy touch. But make sure it's not the first spoonful in your mouth. They say that Dave got started in the food business with his hot sauce, and it shows. The Scorpion, as the bottle says, is "the heat that stings". One thing about Dave's- their labels, slogans and products will bring smiles and tears. Smiles because of the inherent humor, and the colorful graphics. And tears, if it's the hot sauce, because that's just how my body reacts to anything this spicy/hot. Just where to add the heat, and just how is a science that Dave's seems to have conquered. 
Watch out because I have found the hottest hot sauce. Yes, hot sauce lovers rejoice, this is the real deal. Dave's Gourmet Scorpion Pepper Sauce will knock your socks off. This is no joke, it contains no extracts but real Scorpion Pepper power. What I am saying is this sauce is not for the faint of heart. I very very sparingly used a small amount when cooking thin steak stuffed with cheese and veggies. The small amount was enough added to add a little heat to my dish, just what I was looking for. I dare you to try it for yourself.
Ok, I will be the first to admit that the name alone, "Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce", scared me. Dave's Gourmet, known for their hot (and I mean hot!) sauces has just released a hot sauce to top all hot sauces. It should strike fear into your taste buds...well, it did to mine at least. Being the big fan that I am of Dave's Gourmet, I told my taste buds to chill out (literally) and prepared to tackle the Scorpion! I cooked up some scrambled eggs and read the label on the hot sauce very carefully, one more time. It reads, "WARNING: Use this product one drop at a time. Keep away from pets and children. Not for people with heart/respiratory problems." Oh boy. I took this warning to heart and used one drop at a time. Actually, if we're being honest, I used one drop, period! And let me tell you, that one drop was enough to get me through my bowl of scrambled eggs! Woo-eee!!!! So, if you love hot sauce, I highly recommend Dave's Gourmet "Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce" and I also recommend heeding the warning!





Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce is made from the hottest pepper in the Universe, the scorpion pepper. This all natural sauce has a clean pepper flavor, if you can get past the incredible heat. For mere mortals add one to three drops to soups, stews, sauces, stir frys, etc.
