secret aardvark sauce.
Do you miss us? I have a photo date with Summer in just about an hour, so fear not- your baked goods jones will be fulfilled later today (hopefully)! But, until then- may I sing the praises of Secret Aardvark Sauce? They don't seem to have a proper website, but I think you can find all the information you need through that link to their myspace page.
Listen, dudes- I'm not a Hot Sauce Person. I've never been one of those people who will sully a perfectly good omelette with tabasco (ahem- Jason?) and I rarely reach for the sriracha unless I'm cooking at home (I keep things somewhat mild for my son, so we do have to add spice to our own plates). I like spicy food, but I don't need spice for the sake of spice. Most of the Hot Sauce People I know are now, or have been vegan- a defense mechanism against bland tofu and unattractive piles of hippie chow? Maybe! I mean, I know hot sauce is good- but you don't have to put it on EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME, right? Right?
So let's say that a large bottle of Sriracha or a medium-sized bottle of Tapatio takes several months (or up to a year!) for us to go through- okay? We like hot sauce, we keep a space clear for it on our condiment shelf, but we aren't HOT SAUCE PEOPLE. Or rather, we weren't. Dudes, this shit is so bomb, OH MY GOD! Jason used to have it on his food when he worked at the Paradox Cafe (a vegan/veggie joint- see? See? Vegans need hot sauce to survive.) but I had never tried it before. Because, you know- I'm not a Hot Sauce Person.
Anyway, long story short- I've been eating so many damn burritos since we picked up this bottle, just so I have an excuse to plop hot sauce all over them. It's a habanero sauce, so it's rather spicy, but it has something smokey to it that is really tasty. I have eggs for breakfast so I have an excuse to drizzle them. We've had this bottle for a couple of weeks and it's already 3/4 of the way gone. It has earned a permanent place on our condiment shelf, next to the Sriracha, ketchup, and stone ground mustard. Welcome to the family, Secret Aardvark! I love you.
