I have never seen any hot sauce hotter than habanero here and even that is rare.
This is, after all, the island that spice forgot. Take plantains, please......

Supermercado Nacional sells sandwiches in plastic boxes near to where the salads and cakes are. They are a bit bready for my liking but a sandwich nevertheless. I'm pretty sure they also do wraps.
In the capital, Barra Payan is opening quite a lot of new branches but the best one is the original one on 30th March which is open 24/7. And there is also Quiznos Sub in various malls (Agora, Bella Vista, Jumbo Luperon and also in Santo Domingo airport)
I have bought some delicious sandwiches in Las Terrenas from Boulangerie Francaise.
I quit using super-hot sauces a few years ago. The mind is willing, but the body isn't, so I stick to mildly hot sauces now. Plaza Lama seemed to have a few choices last time I checked.
Maria, are you talking about the Nacional on El Conde? They definitely do wraps. Much better than their bready sanwishes.
I think all of them do. So does Sirena. So does Jumbo.
That's what I find. they are all so mild. I make a reaper sauce that will rip you a new one. I suppose I will have to bring seeds and grow my own peppers.
I grow habanero pepper and jalapeño. Habanero peppers start out green and then turn to red which is very, very pretty...but dangerous to touch.
I have had habanero stay on my skin for 48 hours after constant washing. If you are in theeJD area I can arrange to give you the peppers and you plant the seed. No problem
rameses is looking for much hotter than habanero, but a nice gesture nonetheless.
Being in the DR, I have not had the chance to try any Carolina Reapers.
Carolina Reaper
The Carolina Reaper is a cultivar of the Capsicum chinense plant. Developed by American breeder Ed Currie, the pepper is red and gnarled, with a bumpy texture and small pointed tail. In 2017, Guinness World Records declared it the hottest chili pepper in the world.Wikipedia
What would the point in consuming something so hot that it numbs your taste buds and causes physical distress. You cant uneat it.
I have a very high tolerance for capsicum. I make a sauce that is quite sweet with the heavy heat. I make it out of mango, peach, pineapple and strawberry with honey and brown sugar. No distress on my part, only pure enjoyment.
I love the burn. I like it to be balanced out with sweet. It's hard to explain. I tends to enhance my taste buds. Foods pop with the heat.
Why Spicy Food Makes You Feel High
If you’ve ever noticed a funny feeling when you eat spicy food, you’re not just imagining things. Capsaicin, the compound that makes hot peppers hot,

My body is still willin' - kind of like Linda Rondstadt in her song Willin' (just not for weed, whites and wine in combo)
But I really enjoy Sambal Oelek, a chili paste originally from Asia - available most places and although I don't know its Scoville rating, it has plenty of kick.
Plenty of recipes online for making your own Sambal Oelek and you can use your variety of chili peppers to make it as hot as you want
