Apparently the people of the islands have something good going for them. Last summer my wife and I took a rather impromptu trip to the island of St. John in the USVI. This more private and less frequented island in the chain was a hot-bed for some amazing foods. None of the restaurants on this tiny little island disappointed. But more important than coming back with a tan, I also returned with a few bottles of another hot sauce I have since fallen in love with and search for to this day. Sitting at breakfast one morning I asked for hot sauce and was brought the standard bottle of Tobasco (yawn) but then the waiter (a local from St. Thomas) asked if I really liked it hot and handed me a bottle of “Miss Anna’s”. This locally made sauce (yellow in color) did not disappoint one bit. If you ever run across a bottle of this…buy it!! It’s magnificent and great on just about everything. Cool and mild to begin with but quickly hits your taste-buds. Not for the faint of heart. The taste and heat both linger in your mouth and are truly something great. My recommendations don’t do it justice. But ‘buyer beware’, they also produce a mild jar (still good but not hot) and it looks suspiciously similar so make sure you’re getting the good stuff.
