I've been discovering a lot of stuff lately. I won't write about each one in a separate blog entry, so I'll compile them and talk a bit about each. Also, I think that, since this is my taste blog, I should expand that topic beyond food and drink, and include vapor flavors. I mean, after all, vapor can be found in various flavors and delivery systems.
So, after a while of using just the vapor pen, I got my hands on the iStick Nano. It's completely amazing! That, coupled with the Nautilus X Aspire tanks, expands my choices for new flavors, as it handles thicker e-juice blends.
Soon after getting my iStock Nano, I found out my favorite go-to flavor, Wrath (cinnamon clove), was discontinued due to new laws. In fact, the whole Juicifer line (Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Pride, etc.) was discontinued, and there was no clove alternative. However, I found one online, from a company called VaporFi. It's amazing! Puffing it brought out my inner goth, as it tastes like Djarum black (a goth stereotype). It's my new go-to flavor; I've already ordered three back-up bottles. Since it's such a harsh flavor though, I haven't been puffing it since I got the bronchitis that's been going around.
I was recently recommended a new flavor from a company called Crushed. It's a dragonfruit snowcone flavor called Dragon Slayer. Perfect name for a fantasy geek like myself. And is it good! It's completely amazing and I'm thinking of getting a few backup bottles of it, too.
I discovered a new website called Sonoran Spice Company! It's heaven for a spicy food addict like me. For around $30, I ordered a 16 oz. container of ground habanero pepper. It's good, but it must be used sparingly! I might order more when tax season comes around. But then again, they also sell 16 oz. ground ghost pepper... $50, but very tempting. I think I could take the heat, but I'll have to wait until my wallet can feel that burn.
Tonight, I used the ground habanero pepper for some frozen chicken nuggets. And it was bad-ass; and yes, I dipped them in syrup (sugar-free). I had a mouth-gasm!
Holy shit... Awww hell... I have a new love of my life! Her name is Mrs. Renfro. I don't know who she is, but she makes salsa. Amazing... fucking... salsa! I was at the grocery store when I saw the salsa section. I saw habanero and thought "Hey, yeah!" Then I saw it... IT! I saw ghost pepper salsa and went "Fuck yeah!" O.K.... I didn't say it out loud, but in my head (it's a party in there). I tried it, and it's bad-ass! Granted, it's not loaded with ghost peppers (the primary pepper ingredient is green), but they're there. I need to get some now. Right now.
I discovered a discount store run by Mennonites in nearby Cannelburg. I found more ghost pepper salsa, among other things. "Other things" includes a sriracha made by a company called Badia. Oh, damn... I just... Wow! You can definitely taste the spice, but what really hits is the other half of what makes sriracha... sriracha: garlic. Sriracha is a nice blend of spice and garlic, but Badia brings both flavors to the forefront and bitch-slaps your taste buds with both.
