From the bottle: “Red’s authentic BBQ flavour. Taste and be saved. To worship: Dip anything that needs heat, use it in your cooking, add to chilli, or fish tacos. Even top your popcorn, if you dare. Amen.”
First off I have a bone to pick with this one. I really like the idea of the squeezy bottle with the twist-up lid – in theory is reduces the potential for sticky, messy, gunked-on sauce around the neck of the bottle. However this sauce is relatively thick and the small nozzle which is exposed doesn’t make it eazy to squeeze out. The problem gets worse as you go down the bottle as the thinner part of the sauce (which can escape) is reduced and the remaining liquid gets thicker. Anyway, problem solved by simply removing the top and pouring..
So, having ranted about the bottle, what about the sauce? Well, it’s boring to be honest. For my taste it’s not at all hot and tastes mainly of pineapple, which isn’t really a surprise considering the the 3rd and 4th listed ingredients are pineapple in syrup and concentrated pineapple juice (relegating habanero chilli puree to number 5).
3/10 – Nah.
