100% Pain Hot Sauce

My housemate bought a bit of this, and I can say that it's pretty great. I've had it on a few sandwiches and it provides a very decent amount of heat. Nothing insane, if you're a proper chilli-head, but a really good amount. It has a nice, full flavour which you can pick out through the others, with a distinct vinigary aftertaste. I love it.Where this stuff is really good though, is IN things. I put a good dollop in a Chilli I was making and it brought it to life instantly. I'd definitely recommend this...

I bought a bottle of this sauce at a High St store. I saw there was a \"75% Pain\" bottle too, but I thought \"I\'ve eaten plenty of Madras in my time, I\'ve chuffed on Chilli Sauce regularly and found it tricky to find a sauce that challenges me... My search is now over.When I got home after buying the sauce, I decided to use it on my Onion Bhaji\'s straight away. I used a reasonably liberal quantity, regarding my previous experiences. I took a mouthful of my Bhaji and.... after 5 seconds of chewing, the agony began. Goodness me - it was as if someone had started welding my tongue to the roof of my mouth. I learnt a lesson very quickly, ONLY USE THIS SAUCE IN SMALL QUANTITIES UNLESS YOUR MOUTH IS MADE FROM ASBESTOS! The sauce is suited to certain foods far more, meats are much better with this sauce as opposed to Bhaji\'s and other foods with spices in them. \"Pain 100%\" is perfect on Steak, Burgers, Sausages etc, in small quantities until you get more used to the sheer power.... Enjoy the sauce, be careful with it, and good luck!!..

I must agree with some of the reviews here: I tried this sauce as well and found it tasted overly artificial and unpleasant. The burn was very strong indeed, but it's not worth much if it's not accompanied by an enjoyable taste, which this sauce is sorely lacking unfortunately...

I disagree with the assertion that this tastes chemically, it tastes bold and habanero-y, a taste that warms at the inception and then spreads it Scoville-thrashing tendrils into the depths and crevices of your mouth. The 'Pain' moniker is a deserved title as my first sensation of other bodily effects was on urination some four hours later (which stung more than any venereal disease could). I, too, had the gut-gurgling effects, as aforementioned but this is is explained by of a number of things: sensitive gastro-intestinal tract; becoming accommodated to the spiciness; what else has been consumed during the day. I recommend the sauce as tasty and fiery...

I don't with some of the comments about the flavour, personally I think it's one of the few 'super hot' sauces that doesn't have the slight bitter taste that you so often get with extract based sauces. This may be becasue it isn't quite as hot as some of Daves or Blairs stuff, but it its textures great with chucks of habanero (and even the odd seed!) and proper habanero chili taste.My only comment is it is a very strong flavour so perhaps eating by the teaspoon is not such a good idea, but I just add it to stuff like curries, chillies and soups and it really does the trick...

I completely agree with David Yelland's review. I only tried it once - I went through a phase of spreading chilli sauce in-between cheese-on-toast - the taste was not enjoyable and I felt sick afterwards. I find that most really hot sauces have little or no flavour (even Dragonsblood). A sauce like Acid Rain really hit the mark, heat and great flavour. Unfortunately, I found 100% Pain to be the opposite...

This is a great chilli sauce. Not super hot and with a real vinegarie taste, which makes it great poured over chip shop chips!!..

I am seriously disappointed with this sauce. I was looking forward to trying it but when I did I regretted it. I can't really explain it (how do you describe a taste?), I know it is an all natural sauce but if I had tried it blindfolded I would have thought it was a cheap sauce filled with chemicals and artificial flavourings. It has a really strong, overwhelming taste of nothing I can describe, but it isn't nice. I had a stomach ache after trying it... I even went back a couple more times later on to re-test it but it was the same each time. It's not the heat that is the problem. I have Dave's and Blair's sauces here that I love. It just doesn't taste nice. It is also a shame because the heat in this IS good. If you can stand the taste and stomach ache the burn is great. I know it says that the higher the % the less the taste... That I could handle. No taste would be OK. It's just unfortunate that this sauce has lots of taste. THE WRONG KIND!..

Tried this at the Brighton fiery food festival last year and although it is certainly hot (but by no means top draw) the flavour is at best average! Saying that, I think it is great value for money but if your a hardcore chillihead then stick to Blair's or special ed mad dog 357...

This is seriously hot but also seriously tasty. Add to a chilli con carne for a great taste. Too much of this stuff will make you sweat off parts of your anatomy. Will be back for more when I run out...
