Where to buy Bhut Jolokia/Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce in Calgary?

[kipperfan]

I had some family buy and bring back a bottle of Ghost Pepper hot sauce from California back in February and I am just about finished and really need to find some locally as the stuff is amazing.

None of the big supermarkets carry it (as best as I can tell), maybe someone knows of a smaller shop that might have some?

Seeing as how I'm in Oregon, I can't totally help locally. However, there is this that is a ghost pepper salsa that might sub until you can find a source of hot sauce. They do ship to Canada, I already checked.

Is Crossroads the one on 26 avenue SE and blackfoot? If it isn't, there is also a booth that sells them there.

Crossroads is the one in Ogden, I don't know the address, but you mention blackfoot so yes that should be the one.

You absolutely can. I have it in my fridge. It will be in the organic section.

Mrs. Renfro's Habanero is there as well, among other flavours. It's outstanding.

I have seen Ghost Pepper sauce there, too. Good call.

thinkgeek.com has kits to grow your own ghost chilli at home. Pretty cheap too but you could also buy seeds and grow them in a indoor mini greenhouse

I lived off this stuff when I was living in Turks and Caicos! soooo good! best tasting salsa I have ever had!

[kipperfan]

Thanks for the tips all - hopefully I'll have some in hand by the day's end!

Saw this at Safeway yesterday on 130th, considered buying it after reading about it... but is it really worth the 5 bucks? What do you guys eat it with?

I like hot hot salsa, would it be possible to eat this stuff straight like regular salsa or is it too ridiculous?

Same as any other salsa. Nachos, etc.

So, is the pepper just that much better tasting?

If it ain't smoke-your-hole-out-hot, what makes it so great?

I'm partial to my kirkland brand.

It's a good flavour. Hard to explain. It's very hot but also flavourful. Ditto for the Mrs. Renfros Habanero which in my opinion is better tasting but not as hot.
