Back again with another sauce review from one of my favorite sauce companies, Butterfly Bakery of Vermont. This features the hottest sauce in their stable, the Red Ghost Reaper. One of the things I most like about Butterfly Bakery of Vermont is that they source almost all of their ingredients from local farms. Not only…
Having possibly the longest name of any hot sauce I’ve seen yet, and likely designed originally to be sold at the gift shops and concession stands at Arrowhead Stadium, I picked this up for about 80 cents during a Spicin Foods fire sale for some sauces with ‘best by’ dates coming up quickly. Not that…
This isn’t the first sauce I’ve tried from The Spicy Shark, but he first that I’ve opened new since I’ve been able to work on taking better photographs, so I will have to revisit some of the previous flavors when I have the opportunity. Born in New England according to the bottle, The Spicy Shark…
This is another of the recent new flavors from Butterfly Bakery of Vermont, and features a bounty of summer flavors all packed into one bottle. This sauce is a great example of how a sauce doesn’t need to pack huge heat to still have huge flavor. While it does feature one of my absolute favorite…

With a cute yet foreboding logo, an appealing orange color, and the promise of both one of the most fiery peppers ever grown plus the delicious flavor of…
I stumbled on Louisiana Pepper Exchange accidentally while researching some recipes, and discovered that they make a range of pure pepper purees from Jalapenos all the way up to Carolina Reapers, with the ingredients of each puree just being the pepper and some salt for preservation. I was intrigued as having some shelf-stable pure peppers…
It had been a long time since I had eaten canned soup. While Campbell’s Tomato was a staple when I wasn’t feeling well as a child (preferably with a glass of ginger ale on the side) I found myself just never wandering down the canned products aisle at the grocery store unless it was for…
Sambal is a condiment I don’t have a tremendous amount of experience with, but one I’m eagerly looking forward to exploring in more depth. If you have some Sambals to recommend, please let me know in the comments below! Like most people if tried the Huy Fong Sambal Oelek, which I actually prefer to their…
