I know that is hard to believe but hot sauces are not all alike.  Sure they are made with vinegar and spice and all things nice, but just like any other food item, there is a large difference in many of them especially regional products like Mexican Hot Sauce or Asian Sauces.

Many people think that hot sauces are interchangeable but each one has its place within the type of food they were created for.  Take the hugely popular Tapatio Mexican hot sauce.  While this is actually a California brand, it is shipped … Continue Reading

Ass Kickin’ Steak Sauce – Some hot sauce brands are so distinctive and renown for their quality that you pretty much know what you’re going to get before you even taste it. Ass Kickin’ is one of those brands. Holding a bottle of Ass Kickin’ Steak Sauce in my hands, I pretty much knew what it would be like: rich in flavor, made with good, wholesome ingredients, and heat enough to kick my ass. Once again, Ass Kickin’ did not disappoint.

I will add that I enjoy a good steak sauce so I wasn’t going to be satisfied with just a hot raisin puree. Not to worry. Ass Kickin’ Steak Sauce is a real steak sauce, composed of water, tomato paste, vinegar, sugar, raisin paste, salt, soy sauce, lemon juice, molasses, onion, habanero peppers, spices, and garlic. Minus the habaneros, a pretty standard steak sauce, with the right blend of sweet and savory ingredients mixed into a nice thick sauce. Of course, the big difference is the key difference: the habaneros. Continue Reading

Captain Jack’s Authentic Caribbean Style Pepper Sauce – A couple of points of clarification are required at the outset. First, this incredibly thick and chunky concoction is actually more of a relish than a sauce. Second, I want to marry this stuff. I’m not kidding; if my wife treated me as well as this product does I wouldn’t be divorcing her. Instead, I’d be spreading her all over my food, like I am with Captain Jack’s.

OK, I know that all sounds weird, but all you need to do it look at a jar of this pepper sauce and you’ll know what I’m talking about. You can see how thick and chunky it is, you can tell there are no artificial colors or flavors added. What you see if what you get, and you see a lot and get a lot. And then you unscrew the lid and take a whiff. Oh, man! Continue Reading

It’s The Cure/Burn All!
Back in the 1800’s, whole communities used to look forward to attending the “traveling road shows” for not only the interesting and unusual entertainment, but for the exotic products that could only be found and purchased there.  Some might gather to see some colorful and dangerous animals from far away countries, while others may take a moment to gawk at some misshapen human that is portraying a strange skill or talent. But once you wade through all of that, one might see a huge crowd that has formed nearby. Pushing aside the spectators, you approach, only to see a man standing on top of his wagon preaching at a fevered pitch. “It’s the Elixir of the gods!” says the man. “It will cure all and best of all, I guarantee it!”  People are franticly trying to purchase his product. The promise of looking good, smelling good, tasting good, and most importantly, feeling good, is just to much for most people to pass up even 200 plus years later.

This is “Atomic Eh?” and I have found yet another product that I would like to share with you. The sale of “snake oil” or medicines of the eighteen hundreds have always fascinated me, and over the years I have collected quite a few of these bottles from the past. What was once contained in these bottles is not something I would highly recommend trying, but I have a spicy “atomic” product that I came across that I want to tell you about. Continue Reading
