Ahhhhhh yes, and maybe someday when I get a chance to spend more time in the kitchen I will join you in the fresh pepper experimentation. In the meantime, these crazy hot sauces are like something I've been looking for all my life, since I've always loved hot food. Down on the farm in Puerto Rico, my grandmother, departed in 1986, used to have this small bottle of clear liquid, probably vinegar, with all sorts of crazy looking peppers and other stuff in it that was quite hot on the table. I used to put it on my rice.
I know what you mean about white sugar. Back in my bodybuilding days, I learned the physical culture life style and that white sugar, white flour and white rice were to be avoided as much as possible, limiting the intake or eliminating the intake.
My current hot sauce collection includes:
Mad Dog .357 Collector's Edition - 600,000 Scovilles
Blair's Megadeath - 550,000 Scovilles
Mad Dog .357 - 357,000 Scovilles
Blair's Possible Side Effects - 283,000 Scovilles
Da Bomb's Ground Zero - 234,000 Scovilles
Dave's Ultimate Insanity - 150,000 Scovilles
Da Bomb's Beyond Insanity - 119,700 Scovilles
Dave's Temporary Insanity Sauce - 57,000
Dave's Insanity Sauce - 51,000 Scovilles
Blair's After Death - Unknown
Alberta Crude - Unknown
Delicious Suffering - Unknown
Tahiti Joe's Kumawanakilya Sauce - Unknown
I also have a bunch of others which are not ranked in pyropepper.com's "World's Hottest" category like the ones above. Melinda's XXXX Habanero Sauce and Desert Pepper Trading Co.'s XXX Habanero Sauce are two of the other hottest sauces that I have and they both taste great. I'll eat those when I DON'T feel like dealing with Weapons of Mass Destruction. Otherwise, I'll pick from the list above. If you think those WMD's don't exist, just check out my refrigerator!!!

You've really got me going now, and here I am at work with no hot sauce in sight. As for tabasco, what is it, somewhere between 3,000 and 10,000 Scovilles? Quite tame, but good tasting, no question.
As for what to put those things on, yes, burgers and steaks of course, chicken of course, but it's also just so simple to get out two or three cans of Beach Cliff or Brunswick sardines and dribble a little WMD on those, spread it out thinly and eat them out of the can. Great quick meal, along with whatever else you feel like having afterwards, which is usually something to kill that heat!!!!
