And now …. fight!
Flaming Strike is relatively viscous with visible (small) chunks of red chilli and (presumably) apples and pineapple; slightly jammy! Iron Muscle’s a more typical puree-type sauce; not too runny, not too thick.
Flaming Strike starts out with quite an intense sweetness, followed a hit of the fruit & then backed up with a relatively gentle burst of heat. Not too hot, but quite tasty & nice with cheese.
Iron Muscle starts with quite a bold garlicy fennel flavour, fading to a gentle heat. It’s probably a more general-purpose sauce than Flaming Strike, but you do need to like fennel!
…. and he’s down for the count!
Flaming Strike – 5/10 – Nice, but a bit on the sweet side for me
Iron Muscle – 3/10 – Not all that keen in the spicing & insufficient heat
