Darth Naga — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:35:20 +0000

HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR CHILLI PADAWANZ!!! Its your old Pithlord chum Darth Naga, comin atchya all the way from sunny…who am I trying to kid?? RAINY HAMPSHIRE, straight into your eyeballs by means of your computer screen or mobile phone screen or whatever else you read/watch the chilefoundry reviews on!

Hot-Headz - Hot Chilli Crisps/Chips

Anyway, enough ofd the pleasentries for now, I are serious Darth and this are serious review…hmm maybe not. The product I have for you today is very special indeed, mainly because there has only been one real spicy chip manufacturer that satisfies the needs of proper chileheads..well I can tell you now thats all about to change!!

Ingredients:
Chipotle Mustard chips: Salad Mustard Solids, Salt, Maltodextrin, Modified Food Starch, Dehydrated Chipotle and Jalapeno Chili Peppers, Spices, Yeast Extract, Onion Powder, Apple Cider Vinegar, Natural Flavor, Citric Acid, and less than 2% Sunflower Oil and Silicon Dioxide used as processing aids.
Inferno Habanero chips: Natural Cane Sugar, Salt, Paprika, Dehydrated Habanero Pepper, Garlic Powder, Spices, Sunflower Oil, Natural Smoke Flavor, Extractives of Paprika, Natural Flavor, and less than 2% Silicon Dioxide used as a processing aid.

(Review bags kindly supplied by Stu over at www.hot-headz.com)

Okay, so as you can probably now tell, I have TWO bags of potato chips, or CRISPS as we call them here in the UK, and they come straight out of our very own pioneer of the UK hotsauce scene, Hot-Headz! As you can see from the photo, straight up both these bags ooze quality, from the foil wrapping and the background flames to the massive hot-headz logo emblazoned across the front you know full well that these crisps are not to be messed with, and will surely taste good? Well lets let my video do the talking,and you guys can do the watching, btw at around the 6 minute mark I do something REALLY STUPID, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!…I’ll say it again…DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

So there you have it, quite probably the finest chilli crisps in the west! I have to say that the heat on the inferno ones is a definite builder and will surely satisfy any chillihead who fancies a snack that isn’t chilli peanuts, and wants something that is actually available right now to buy The chips are of an outstanding quality, I don’t think I can stress that enough, they really are good, not greasy or underflavoured at all, crunchy and savoury and bloody tasty too!

At £4.98 for TWO 142G bags over at www.hot-headz.com, you’d be fookin mad not to grab a couple bags of each flavour right now!! In fact i reckon they’d go perfect with the hot-headz chile con queso dip..which remind me, I must get some of that!!

Anyway, without further ado my chilli padawanz, I will see you all soon, happy new year and all that shite May the sauce be with you, always!!!

Darth Naga Video Review of Heart Throb from The Chilli Pepper Co.

Darth Naga — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 09:22:18 +0000

Happy Chrimbo/Hannuka/Xmas/Christmas and whatever the heck else people celebrate/call it during the yuletide season, I know I usually say “I’ve got a cracking review for you all today” but this time I haven’t just got a cracking review, I have what could be the ULTIMATE chrimbo gift for Chilli headz, and whaddya know, it comes from the UK’s answer to Blair, our very own Gerald Fowler of The Chilli Pepper Company!!

Heart Throb from The Chilli Pepper Company

Gerald has created a one of a kind artisan sauce, for those of you who like your collectors items, wrap your peepers round this, because its a doozy!!

Ingredients: Trinidad Scorpion and Naga Viper Chilli, Tomatoes, Vinegar, Spices, Chilli Flavour.

Review bottles kindly supplied by Ged over at www.chileseeds.co.uk

Okay let me just start this by saying that “Heart Throb” is by no means the hottest sauce the CPC has ever done, oh noooooo that particular badge belongs firmly on the chest of “15 Minute Burn”, but this is by far the sauce that CPC has that covers both heat and flavour in equal measures..so you could say (and I quote) that this is their hottest and tastiest sauce yet..so its the hottest of their tasty sauces!

The packaging is nothing short of fooking legendary, I thought i had seen it all, but this sauce comes in a heart shaped bottle with an oldschool style pop top, the label hanging around its neck from gold thread like a medallion of bragging rights, this one is a definite collectors bottle, its the sort of thing you’d see in a major sauce fans collection for hundreds of dollars…BUT! This is the UK we’re talking about…and its the CPC..so you KNOW its not gonna be THAT expensive..I think at this point I’ll let my video do the talking, to give you an idea of the flavour and heat of this one, take a look at this…

What did I tell you?? Its warm, but its not off the charts..its tasty, but its got a kick like a proverbial mule! But go ahead and do a dessert spoon of it and you WILL regret it, this stuff is best used sparingly, add it to dips and sprinkle on chips, chuck a bit in your chilli or mix it in to a curry..whatever you do with you’ll enjoy it, and thats the main part!

The sauce comes in three varieties and as such, commands three different price tags:

Heart Throb sauce boxed in LTD edition bottle: £5
Heart Throb sauce boxed in LTD edition bottle with wax sealed vial of 1 million shu oleoresin: £10
Heart Throb sauce boxed in LTD edition bottle with wax sealed vial of 15 million shu pure crystal extract (also a collectors item and worth £12 on its own!): £15

If you want my advice, and you know a big hot sauce fan..head on over to www.chileseeds.co.uk and get em the deluxe £15 edition to put on display and the £5 edition for them to actually taste the sauce (because it really does have to be tasted!) and they’ll love you forever, trust me, ANY chilli fan will be happy with this in their collection, in fact I’d be extremely surprised to meet any chilli head who DOESN’T want a bottle of this, then of course I’ll give em a slap so they come to their senses!!

Anyway, happy yule my chile padawanz, and until we next meet, may the sauce be with you…always!!

The Wiltshire Chilli Farm – Septenary

The Wiltshire Chilli Farm - Septenary

Brrrrr chilli padawanz!! Its a frigging cold November day and of course we are edging ever closer to that one day of the year where we can all eat like pigs and exchange gifts and have parties..nooo i’m not talking about my birthday, i’m talking about chrimbo of course!! This particular review is rather special for two reasons, first of all, my good friend “Nervous Nick” helped me do the video review and he’s never done one before, so this was good fun, and secondly the product featured in the review will make a perfect chrimbo bargain for anyone looking for a special gift for that chillehead in their lives!!

The product itself is the result of alot of hard work, time and effort on the part of Jamie Sythes over at the Wiltshire Chilli Farm (www.justchillies.co.uk) You may remember Jamie from the Yellow 7pot video I did with him during the Great Dorset Chilli Festival, anyway lets crack on and talk about this AWESOME gift pack!

Ingredients:
The Yellow one: Yellow 7 pot, Sugar, Cider Vinegar, Pineapple, Salt
The Red one: Red 7 pot, Sugar, Cider Vinegar, Romano Pepper, Salt
The Brown one: Brown/Chocolate 7 pot, Brown Sugar, Red Wine Vinegar, Red Onion, Salt

Review box supplied by www.justchillies.co.uk

Sooooooooooooo this is your introduction to what is quite honestly one of the bestly dressed sauce collection I have seen, the “Septenary” gift box is a lovely black leather look gift box with the words “Wiltshire Chilli Farm”, “Septenary” and a lovely silhouette of a 7pot in white on the front, inside are three bottle’s of very vivid coloured sauce, so vivid infact that you’d automatically assume they were artificially coloured, but as you can see from the ingedients list, they are’nt!!

I could easily reel off a couple of paragraphs describing the flavour and heat of these three sauces, but i think me and Nick do a grand job of describing them in the video below, its 15 mins, but we do review three cracking sauces:

So what did you think of that?? As I said in the video, if Carlsberg made 7pot sauces…you know the rest, suffice to say that for the measley sum of £15 from www.justchillies.co.uk you get a box set that any chilehead would be grateful of for Christmas (hint hint!), this pack has the heat and the flavour, and with three to choose from you are sure to have the right sauce for any dish, all in the one box, well worth the moolah if you ask me!!

Right, until next time my chilli padawanz, may the sauce be with you, always!!!

Hot Headz – Naga Beef Jerky Review

Darth Naga — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 09:32:36 +0000

Hot-Headz XXX Hot Naga Chilli Beef Jerky

Okay, let me start off by saying there aren’t many things I flout in life, rules are there for a reason, decisions are made according to moral’s and many other factors..one of these is my personal choice to be Pescetarian..a diet that consists of fish and vegetables, no red or white meat…until this review.

I will explain myself in due course, I will also explain how I dropped my pescetarianism for a few moments as my personal sacrifice to the chilli community as a whole

Let me start by saying that the product I’m reviewing today comes from the company that we in the UK have come to know, love and trust, as the UK’s premier supplier of US hotsauces and products, at very decent prices! I am of course talking about Hot-Headz!

Ingredients: Beef, Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Brown Sugar, NAGA JOLOKIA, Naga Pickle, Cayenne Pepper, CELERY, Salt, Water, Spices, Worcestershire Sauce (Malt Vinegar (from BARLEY), Spirit Vinegar, Molasses, Sugar, Salt, ANCHOVIES (fish), Tamarind Extract, Onion, Garlic, Spices), Soy Sauce (Water, Salt, SOY Bean, WHEAT Flour).

Review packet supplied by www.hot-headz.com

Okay, on first glance at the ingredients for Hot Headz “Naga Beef Jerky” I bet you’re all thinking “Hmmm the ingredients list seems rather long for a bit of dried beef with naga powder on it”..but thats where you’re WRONG!! This is no ordinary bag of jerky, nor is it just simply a bag of dried up beef bits with naga powder..this my friends is possibly the tastiest beef jerky you’ll ever find. Allow me to elaborate…this product right here is the reason for my slight deviation from my Pescetarian path…the ONLY time i have eaten any form of meat in the past 5 years is purely chilli meat related products..other than that i wouldn’t consider it (though i have to admit to missing it every now and then).

So it was with a mix of guilty pleasure and and a slight moral struggle thati agreed to review this product for Hot Headz.

Right moral bollocks out of the way lets discuss the actual product shall we? The packet the jerky comes in is a simple foiled plastic bag, the kind you see at farmers markets and such that contain speciality peanuts and other assorted snacks, the label on the front is a no frills affair, just the hot headz logo, a list of ingredients and the name of the product itself.. this one give you no false pretenses, instead allowing its contents to be the only deciding factor in this taste test!

Upon opening the packet a slight hint of roast beef and a big slap of naga hits me hard, the smell is a little week at first so I take a big sniff…yeah that wasn’t smart, 10 minutes later after I stopped coughing and my nose stopped burning I grabbed a couple of pieces from the bag, popped one into my mouth and then chewed. This isn’t a standard, moist beef jerkey like you’d find in your local shop, this is a high grade properly dried meat, marinated in a delicate mix of spices and flavours, one of which is the Naga and this is the flavour that shines through for me!!

The heat is a strange beast..the first one hits you like a steam train but wears off pretty quickly..the aftertaste then ropes you into having anothe rpiece, then another..all the while the heat is building, the sweat is pouring and the tongue and mouth are on fire but you don’t CARE!! This product is so moreish i literally had to give it away so that I would eat more than a few peieces..damn you Stuart for making such an annoyingly tasty anti-vegetarian (and pescetarian) product, LOL!

You can buy this stuff for a mere £2.99 a bag over at www.hot-headz.com and at that price I would suggest you buy a couple as you will go through your first in one sitting, barely breathing in between each piece, that much I promise you!! You get quite a bit for your money considering this is only a quid dearer than the moist, processed shit you can buy at the supermarket, I would take the HH naga jerky over that ANY day of the week!!
Right, until we meet again my chilli padawanz, may the sauce be with you, always!!

Video Review of Flamin Galah! from Project Spice

Darth Naga — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 08:41:36 +0000

Project Spice - Flamin-Galah!

Brrrrr The nights are fair drawing in my chilli padawanz, and with the autumn upon us, the evenings are gonna start to get very cold, so its a wise idea to stock up on your favourite chilli products now, so you can keep warm when the harsh winter sets in!!

Anyway, enough of that doom and gloom bollocks, i’m here today to show you a lovely video review i did about a sauce from a company known simply as “Project Spice” The company is run by Dave and John Tidmarsh, with Dave being the main player. From what I have come to learn about Dave he is a talented chef and very much a spice connoisseur, writing his own recipes and of course, making wonderful sauces from the recipe ideas that come into his head! The sauce I have for review today has undergone a couple of revisions but finally Dave is happy with it, and under that premise he came to me with a bottle and said “Darth, its ready for review!” so with that in mind I took the bottle and began my journey.

Ingredients: Roasted Peppers, Bhut Jolokia Chilli, Onion, Cider Vinegar, Lime, Water, Garlic, Ginger, Sugar, Spices, Oil & Salt.

Review bottle kindly supplied by www.projectspice.co.uk

As you can see from the ingredients list there are a myriad of flavours within “Flamin Galah!”…which I must say at this stage is a bloody random name, and to explain it a little, Dave once told me he called this sauce after a line from home and away, a “Galah” is a species of cockatoo native to Australia, and funnily enough, like this sauce the bird itself is a lovely deep red on its chest! In amongst the red thickness of it all are seeds suspended in the sauce, upon opening it and giving it the nasal once over, I can immediately smell both the red peppers and the lime, with a slight undertone of unmistakeable jolokia frangrance.

Watch the following video to give yourselves an idea of just how hot this sauce is, take note that my latest padawan: Dave “Thecafmankilla” Ayres is a complete and utter novice when it comes to chilli..the man thinks a bloody tikka masala is hot, so you can only imagine how this one hits him, fortunately I broke him in gently using an all natural sauce…

As you just saw, this sauce is one that can certainly hold it own in a well established all natural market! Suffice to say its definitely one of the hottest all natural sauce is have tried, and beleive me i have tried a few! In the video i mentioned that the sauce costs about £5-£6 from www.projectspice.co.uk, upon closer inspection it is painfully apparent that i have been talking bollocks as this sauce is a measly FOUR QUID!! yes thats right £4!!! I thought that £6 was a decent price but this is a STEAL at £4 a bottle, so grab some now before it inevitably sells out!!

Until next time my chilli padawanz, wrap up warm and if you can’t do that then eat something nice and spicy!! May the sauce be with you, always!!
