Top 10 UK Chilli Web Sites

This is our first Top 10 of 2012, and it is all change, a complete surprise was www.simpsonsseeds.co.uk comming in at #6, this is the first time they have even been near the top 10 as far as I can remember, Also after a long run at #1 www.hot-head.co.uk has dropped to #3, must be a sign that all that? Christmas? shopping is over again.

Another? amazing? move has been how fast www.dartmoorchillifarm.com has climbed back in to the Top 10 and almost to the #1 slot, following their request we have removed there other site from the list, but it would have been number #4 on the list otherwise.

And what can we say, we are please to be the #1 Chilli Web site in the UK for the first top 10 of 2012, I wonder how long we can keep the top spot.

Marie Sharpe’s Habanero Pepper Sauce

Marie Sharps Habanero Pepper Sauce

Marie Sharps Habanero Pepper Sauce

This bottle of Pepper sauce comes all the way from Belize in South America and is made from Habanero Peppers grown in the foothills of the Mayan Mountains. I have sampled quite a lot of American Hot Habanero sauces which are often very similar in taste and flavour to each other, I was expecting this sauce to be no different but I was wrong.

The bottle itself is pleasing to the eye, showing off the red sauce within. The labelling is predominantly white which gives a good contrast in colour. The rear of the label contains the ingredients and nutritional values etc, but even with my glasses on the text is still too difficult to read!

Ingredients: Selected Red Habanero Peppers, Fresh Carrots, Onions, Lime Juice, Vinegar, Garlic and Salt.

Bottle kindly provided by www.hot-headz.com

The sauce once poured out has a large amount of seeds visible, which is never a bad thing.

It has the familiar aroma of a Habanero sauce with the vinegar and garlic but there is something else. A quick check of the ingredients reveals that the base for the sauce is carrot.

This added ingredient gives the sauce a different dimension and one that really works, the combination of flavours blend well together and the heat of the habanero is present, but it’s a gentle heat which builds slowly but never overtakes the very tasty and flavourful sauce.

As with any hot sauce product, heat must be balanced with flavour, and this is no exception. I am pleasantly surprised by this bottle of chilli goodness. The carrots and hot habaneros is a great combination and I can recommend getting hold of a bottle, this isn’t just another habanero sauce. I can’t wait to try other products from the range.

The bottle is 148ml and costs around the £4 mark www.hot-headz.com and other online retailers.

in Product Reviews

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

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 :D May the sauce be with you, always!!!
