We often make a hot sauce here, made from chili, tomato, brown sugar and so on.
but now the price of chili is about $10 per kg- we used to have here at $2 per kg.
the rise price is making me scream.
without hot sauce, i can't feel eat as delicious as before.
so would you still buy chili and make hot sauce even the price is really expensive?

Hi ifa,
If you are into making things at home, there are no ways you can escape or miss out as the ingredients are many a times seasonal.
In India, many make pickles at home and they are many a times seasonal things. No matter what the prices are, some would just go all out preparing them as there is no other season they would find the ingredients.
going by that, and the fact that we are having a high rate of inflation(implying not quite a relief on the prices) I think many would go for it but may be in smaller quantities.
Cheers,
theSids.
Yes, sure dear. Go ahead and get that done. Lucky you... I can sound being jealous but the fact is that I cannot have my taste-buds party many a times

Hi Ifa225!.
I still made it. Today I made it, like you know I love hot and spicy food so chili is one think that I must have at home. So this chili price is really bothering me I hope its back to normal as soon as possible.
I think you can start to plant your own chili. I plant mine in in pot I hope in few month I can harvest my own chili and the best of all its organic.

Nice to see you too Ifa.
I think thats will great idea if you wanna plant it by your own. I saw in Mr sobirin blog at clearwaste@blogspot.com how he plant rice in bucket I think thats was cool but its will be need so many bucket to provide my family with our own rice. So I prefer buying it.
I think the rice price not to become problem if vegetable and herb not raise like this day. I find out how fast the money go when we go to traditional market to buy what we need. Its seem money had lower value from day to day.

Why not try planting your own chili ? It's easy to grow even if you don't have a big space or garden it can be grown on a large or medium sized pot, our warm Asian climate favors propagation of most chili varieties so that would work to your advantage. Just guard it from aphids and birds that's unaffected by capsaicin or the chemical responsible for chili heat. It' fun to do especially when you get the feeling that you are unaffected by rising prices, good luck

Maybe you can just buy those inexpensive hot sauce in the supermarkets. They do taste delicious too when mixed on those viands. Besides, you don't have to put a lot of effort in making them.
I for one is a lover of hot sauce. I put it on almost all foods that i eat. I love my food to spicy. It whets my appetite and makes me eat my food with so much gusto. Thankfully, i don't put that much poundage even if i eat a lot. Maybe , it's because i don't eat too much rice with my viand and being fat is not in our genes.
