Tongues of Fire Minnesota Hotluck
Tongues of Fire is an annual (sorta annual) hotluck held in Minnesota. We started doing them back in the 90s. This is TOF VIII. TOF is a hot version of a potluck. Every food item brought must have a chile of some form in it. Heat levels vary, of course, from barely mentionable to nuclear. We've had incredibly good food at previous TOFs and folks have been very creative. We have various sauces and products available for sampling. Great food, good friends, and a lot of fun. We did get write-up in Chile Pepper magazine last year. One note from TOF-VII, one of the highlights was a sauce from the Scoville Institute called OTC (Off The Charts) Sauce...uffda!!!!

Tongue of Fire Minnesota Hotluck Samples and Wall of Flame
We continue to update the web link with products that will be available for sampling. It appears we will have a Scovie Award winning BBQ sauce maker at TOF-VIII to demo their product.
The Wall of Flame challenge is on for those that want to do that to themselves. The challenge will not be revealed until TOF-VIII but it will involve "The Bread".

Yes the creativity by folks has been amazing. This is our 8th hotluck and they just keep getting better and better. We have had some amazing things. One fun thing I will be doing this year again (back by popular request) is making a Chocolate Malt (a real one with malt powder) and blending in crushed Blair's Death Rain Habanero Potato Chips...it is an incredibly good combination. The Bread I referred to in the previous post is one of those knock your socks off things...nuclear *evil grin*. With two ounces of dried red savina it packs a wallop!!!

Tongues of Fire VIII was a blazing success!! 84 brave ( or slightly touched ) hot pepper lovers attended. The food was fantastic and loads of it. We've posted some recipes on the website at the start of this thread. The Wall of Flame challenge was a burning hit!! We've posted pictures of those who accomplished the Wall of Flame challenge. The challenge consisted of consuming Red Savina Bread (two ounces of fresh dried red savina powder in a small loaf) dipped in the Scoville Institues OTC (off the charts) squared sauce...that is full of 1 & 2 million scoville AFRICAN OLEORESIN PEPPER EXTRACT. This combo delivers a slow onset mega punch about 2-5 minutes after eating it. Check out the pictures of our Wall of Flame survivors!! Heffy's BBQ Sauce attended and demo'ed their absolutely fantastic BBQ sauces...definitely worth checking out. They are great!!
