There was a thread about them a year or two ago. They were a line of ice cream toppings that were “hot” (in the spicy not the temperature sense). I was looking for them in a store recently but I can’t recall the name. Can anyone help me with the name? And are they still on the market? ---

Old fogey here. When did people start putting hot sauce on ice cream? ---

I would like to submit that in Delaware and Maryland they have a sauce they call “wet nuts.” That is all. ---

I think this might be the best use for my Kiwifruit Habenero sauce. Its very tasty, but I haven’t figured out what to use it on. ---
