  1. Hi, Thanks for the additional info, and for the Google research. It's interesting that you dug up some info on Sweet Papaya Mustard through Google. I could fine not a trace, but maybe my Google skills are not up to snuff. Well, at least that means I hopefully wasn't just hallucinating the existence of Sweet Papaya Mustard. It does sound likely that the less hot version of the Hot Sauce could be in the ballpark of what I knew as Sweet Papaya Mustard. Wonder if it was a different product, or just a re-branding of the less hot version of the sauce. I also love the taste of the "Real" hot sauce, but the Sweet Papaya Mustard was great in almost ketchup-like quantities on chicken sandwiches and the like. Something like that would be dangerous with the hot sauce. Thanks again! Might try my hand at Googling again, see if I can find what you found... Ah, so I did another Google search, this time with quotes around "Sweet Papaya Mustard" and found a "Massachusetts Specialty Products Directory" from 1995 that lists all the Inner Beauty products at the time, which include the Hot sauce, Real Hot Sauce, Sweet Papaya Mustard and Blue Marlin Fish Sauce, which I had forgotten about (and didn't use much). Have now confirmed it wasn't all in my head. Now I'm curious if there is any way to find out what the ingredients were in the Sweet Papaya Mustard. I imagine not. Who ran the Inner Beauty company back then? Was it Chris Schlesinger...?
  2. Hi, Thanks for the link. I'd actually stumbled across that in my travels. But I think that's the original recipe for the Inner Beauty Hot Sauce, which I had thought about undertaking in the past. But Todd's new version means now I don't have to. What I am really curious about is if anyone can shed any light on the Sweet Papaya Mustard mystery. Todd seemed to think there had been two versions of Inner Beauty, one less hot than the other. I don't recall that. And this "other" sauce had it's own name. But maybe the Sweet Papaya Mustard was in fact just the hot sauce with way less scotch bonnet peppers, and a new name? Again, thanks for any info anyone might have...!
  3. Hi, This is my first post on this board. I'm chiming in because, as others on this thread have experienced, my perhaps once-every-couple-of-years random Google search for Inner Beauty hot sauce actually bore fruit a couple of weeks ago, and I also bought a couple of bottles of the aforementioned Todd's re-creation. (My last batches were bought off the internet in the early 2000's) I give Todd's version a big Thumbs Up! It tastes almost exactly as I recall it tasting, from my days living in Cambridge in the 90's. Very exciting for me. I've exchanged a couple of emails with Todd, extending my thanks. But I wanted to ask anyone on this thread, who may have been around in the Boston area "back in the day", if they recall another variation of Chris's sauce, in a similarly designed bottle, called "Sweet Papaya Mustard". I loved it, and I was mentioning it to Todd, hoping me might be able to make that one as well, but he didn't know about it. And I can find exactly zero mention of it when I do Google searches. I know it existed. And I know it was really good, not nearly as hot as Inner Beauty, but very delicious. A bar in Cambridge my friends and I used to spend way too much time at called the Miracle of Science used to have bottles of both sauces on all the tables. Was I hallucinating, or did such a sauce really exist? Any tips, thoughts or leads would be greatly appreciated. But in the meantime, I've just excited to have Inner Beauty Hot Sauce back in my life. Thanks! - Steve
