Sauce: Mahi Bhut Jolokia


“Lovingly Made in the Fens of England”

Noice.


Quite a lively sauce, not overpoweringly hot but heat increases over time and there’s a pleasant tingling after burn. Add a dollop of acidity to balance, lace with a little spice and we’re off. It’s not complicated, but it is good.


8/10 – One that sits between the “pour liberally” and “treat with caution”.

Sauce: Bad Karma


“Boldly Crafted for Meals that Matter”


Nicely flavoured (butternut squash and apple underpins the beli and habanero), a little sweeter than most (hello honey). Not particularly hot; the habanero is most noticeable in the middle of the flavour development, but fades quite quickly with only a tiny residual after burn.


6/10 – All in all, nice but unremarkable.
