well, they are the same brand. the jar has the seeds and pulp in it and the bottle does not. the jar one seems to have a better aroma probably because it has seeds and pulp.

LOVE spicy food! Harbourfront puts on a hot and spicy food festival, went last year. They have all sorts of different foods that use different spices and sauces and lots of testings. Definitely something different and fun to do in the summer.

Spicy food festival this weekend

Originally posted by StereoPrincess My favorite spices? Hmmm. That would have to be: Cinnamon Rosemary and Allspice I also love garlic and put way too much in everything. Fresh garlic, roasted garlic, and garlic flakes are best.

You and I are very similar. I also like oregano and nutmeg. Garlic is the absolute best though.

Funny this thread is bumped today - i just got my assed kicked by a habanero pepper that I thought I could eat in my salad....let's just say it didn't end well!! Fuck I gotta build a better immunity to them. Baby steps! I tried to tackle the whole thing but I should just start off with little bits first then move to a whole one...

As for the spicy food festival - it's bunk! I was pretty disappointed last year and won't be going this year. It's just booths set up with their spices and hot sauces but I was looking forward to eating various spicy DISHES from around the world

And garlic....oh shit don't even get me started!! I put at least 4-5 cloves into anything I eat. Garlic burps ftw

Were you able to taste things? or was it just sauces/spices for sale?

I've switched over the Jamican hot sauce now, the chinese hot sauce is tasting like ketchup now.

You're trying the wrong ones then it's all about the spicy chili oils or just oils notthe ketchupy sauces!

The food at the festival isn't spicy or spice oriented IMO. U can try the spices, they give u a pretzel or cracker to taste.
