We can already get some of the things you recommended Pooka (Tabasco is my all time favourite ingredient!) but I'm certainly considering buying Velveeta and Kraft Mac n Cheese, simply because they've been mentioned too many times on here and in books for me not to. For the same reason I am considering bread & butter pickles. My family adore all pickles, so I'd have some help with them.
The various hot sauces... Hmmmmm. Dad doesn't really do hot, and Mum only likes a little as she has various gastric problems. I am tempted, but I don't want to buy something that's too hot for me to enjoy.
I had my Ass Kickin Hot mustard in a cheese and turkey ham bagel the other day. You'd have laughed at the tiny amount I put on to start with - I was building myself up gently. When I couldn't taste it I went back and slathered some more on and got it just right - enough to spark up the taste buds, not enough to feel like there's an auto de fe in my mouth.
The cornbread went down very well I must say. By the time Mum & Dad came back it was out of the oven and cooling, and the few items I'd used were all washed up and put away (always a plus when cooking). I added Mature Irish Cheddar, Italian Herbs with Garlic and a few dashes of Tabasco (enough to give it a mild after-kick). Mum and I polished off half of it at lunch, and it made the house smell very yummy. Dad said he'll try some tomorrow, but he has a whole loaf of Tiger Bread to get through, so maybe not. I judge it a success anyway.
I still have my Kick Yo Ass Hot Cornbread mix to make as well. I might not even use the habenero pepper and just make it the same way I did this one. Well... maybe just a pinch.
