39. Lottie’s Traditional Barbados Hot Pepper Sauce

Barbados is known for its yellow, mustard based hot sauces. The Carribean’s scotch bonnet pepper is related to the habanero and has similar heat. No one knows exactly why the Portuguese named the island “the bearded ones” or why the Brits didn’t change the name later on. Lottie used to sell life insurance before starting the business in 1985. Flying fish with cou-cou is Barbados national dish and recently the island nearly went to war with Trinidad and Tobago over fishing rights… Ryszard Kapuscinski would have grinned.
