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
