Review: Again, I was going to make spicy french fry sandwiches, but the spicy doesn't usually go well with food poisoned-guts. I've used these pepper flakes from the most ubiquitous of spice merchants before though. They are only a small step up from the red pepper flakes you get out of a shaker at a pizza joint. That's not a bad thing. What this means is that just a sprinkle of these things is enough to give your food a slight flavor that cannot be described as anything but "red" and a spiciness strong enough to appease habanero eaters and mild enough to only slightly challenge people who think tiramisu is too hot. For a spice bottle this size, $2.39 is comparitavely a reasonable price too.
