We saw its introduction at Auckland Food show and the reps at the booth said that it would be 6 weeks before it would hit stores. About 5 months later - here it finally is! I found it at the Pak n' Save in Ellerslie for ab out $5/bottle. Not bad. Steve and I each purchased one for work. That should put a pep into our meat pies and seaweed salad!
We have tried a few hot sauces local and otherwise. The Nando's hot sauces are tasty but also a bit flat and acidic. The extra-extra hot Nando's isn't all that extra-extra hot. Orcona brand sells some good habanero but who the hell wants to pay more than $10 for hot sauce? Tabasco employs the KISS principle in hot sauces (Keep It Simple Stupid). It's primary ingredient is vinegar but then right after is Habanero. If you look at ingredients on bottles they usually list them from highest concentration to lowest. If Habanero is an ingredient listed 1st or 2nd , our interest gets piqued.
Great with meat pie!!
