Juice Of The (Psycho) Gods
The doctor will see you now
See that handsome chap up there? His name is Dr Burnorium and I do believe that his "Hot Sauce Emporium", filled with deliciously hot sauces, might just have a shot at taking over the world. A place where wing sauce pours from taps, fiery snacks grow on trees and the sountrack is heavy metal (think Willy Wonka's factory only cooler but in a hot kind of way.) Accuse me of going OTT all you want but mock not lest ye try it, if you love hot sauce, you're gonna REALLY love Psycho Juice!
Habanero: Smash it on wings!
Red Savina
Dr Burnorium has quite a few to choose from too; first bottle I had was his Psycho Juice 70% Ghost Pepper which hit the spot, strong in flavour and heat. One thing the good doctor does well is keeping a good balance between heat and flavour. Ive tried many hot sauces and quite a few makers are guilty of sacrificing flavour for heat (in some instances they drown the flavour completely which is pointless in my opinion.) What on earth is the point of having a plate of delicious chicken wings if your gob is too numb to appreciate them?
Psycho Juice doesn't go down this route, and so far every sauce ive tried (4 and counting) from the range gets the balance smack banged to rights. It tastes amazing, takes every meal up a notch while still bringing plenty of heat to the table. And not wanting to go all Jaime Oliver on you, its all so versatile and can be used on everything from plain old beans on toast (hint: Red Savina does them up a treat) to salads and pasta dishes. (I smashed the Habanero Psycho Juice on my pasta earlier and it was all kinds of mighty f**king aces.)
Ghost Pepper Mustard
It has become more regular on my table than HP sauce and I kid thee not. I'm using Dr Burnorium's elixir of Greatness on virtually every meal (my melted organs can forgive me in the next life) and as a bonus he's a good chap to follow on Twitter too (@DrBurnorium.) Funny. Honest. Tells it like it is. But anyway enough ass kissing, there is a plate of chicken wings over there just begging to be smothered in Psycho Juice: Ghost Mustard (Goddamn this is a fine 10/10 sauce.)
So if you are happen to be a fan of hot sauces, and even if you're not, head on over to www.hotsauceemporium.co.uk and fill your basket with burny delicious treats. You will thank me later I promise you.
