Ridiculous statement in there... "Unfortunately we have a culture that sees America as the promised land..."
Articles like that & outrage will always follow anything like this. You just have to hope common sense prevails regardless.

In other news, I got a few scotch bonnets in my chilli packets yesterday so going to be making these burgers again

I made a (much) more tame version of this last night and it tore my guts out this morning. Absolutely delicious though, quite hot and left me burning, but not ott.

250g lean steak mince
1 tbsp dry breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Approx 1-2 tsp insanity sauce

This is the first time I've had a hot sauce from capsicum extract. I can take my chilli heat but this is a strange different experience. You get the burn in the mouth but it goes all round the inside of your mouth then ends up all over the outside of your lips and the bottom of your nose. Most strange. I liked it until this morning where there was fire in the hole / that Johnny Cash song / rumble in the jungle / etc etc you get the idea

I find insanity sauce odd. I can cope with the sauce for about half a burger. But I just get painfull stomach about two hours after eating it and it lasts a few hours. It's certainly on a different level than any other sauce I've tried.

Anyway sounds much nicer than what I did.
