I'm not sure if this is on par with hoping for someone to awaken from a 40 year coma, but I'm definitely hopeful. If you manage it, surely it'll be a record.
I've never attempted to make a sauce. I suspect that fermenting would mostly lead to stuff turning rotten and having to be thrown out and I'm cheap.
There's also that I prefer to just dice up a frozen pod when at home or keep a vial of powder on me when I go out.
