Howdy folks!

This sauce is a bit different from the "normal" stuff THSC makes. It's not nuclear hot and it's made with Jalapenos in a tropical style.

First, the pics:

Yup, it's green!

It's a rather chunky yet nice consistancy. Pours well.

The smell is of "green" and citrus w/ a touch of cinnamon and apples. I think it's the combo of the Kiwi, Lemon-Lime and the Jala's that make it unique.

Nice tartness like a green apple, but sweet too with a hint of cinnamon.

It tastes kinda like it smells...very citrus fresh and sweet/tart. A big Citrus, Kiwi and Jalapeno, Black Pepper taste that develops into a more sweet apple and cinnmony flavor.

It's a Jalapeno sauce, so no huge flames..a nice even upfront burn that ya feel all the way down. Later is a nice warm mouth & throat burn..not tooo hot.

It's very different for me, but it kinda grows on ya. It's killer on chicken, and I loved it on my breakfast scramble w/ potatos, ham, eggs, cheese and hab/serrano chiles.

Adds a nice piquante-yet-sweet quality to foods, and would be a nice marinade I think too.

Flavor: 8/10......(it's a tad odd for me, but good)
Heat: 5/10 ......(After the habs and nagas, well....)
Usability: 9/10......(This stuff adds unique flavor without a lot of heat)

Of course, there's a video review too:

Nice job mate..another fine sauce. :-)

Cheers,

Thanks for the review. Another positive one... makes it even harder waiting for the sauce to arrive! I know this is one I'll try immediately! Good one!
 
I know it's not too good, but it get's promoted as the most Australian thing there is. I was just kidding, because I know how much Australian people love it to have their culture reduced to Foster's and Crocodile Dundee! :)

Ha, I had to look that one up..amusing results:

From Wikipedia:

Gammon can mean:

•A particular cut of bacon or ham (from an Old Northern French word "Gambe" for hind- leg of the pig or ham) - processed pork product

•A synonym for Shelta, the language of the Irish Travellers

•A victory in backgammon reached before the loser has succeeded in removing a single piece

•Gammon Construction is a construction company in Hong Kong

•SA-5 Gammon, the NATO designation for the Russian S-200 'Volga' surface-to-air missile system

•Gammon bomb, a type of grenade used by the United Kingdom

•A nautical term for the rope lashing or iron hardware to attach masts to a boat or ship.

I'm hoping you don't like grenades or missiles with your eggs...

I suppose, a Naga in there could make it a "Gammon Bomb". ;)

Wow, you won't believe what the post lady has just delivered. Thank you so much Neil, I can't believe you sent me a surprise bottle of Tropical Jungle Juice, I'm over the moon.


This is a sauce with a difference. The smell is fantastic. Straight away I can smell kiwis, apples, pineapple and lime, pepper, and a fresh chilli smell. This has the ideal consistency for me, just pourable. Also I can't see that there are any separation issues as I've come across with other sauces.

As for taste I could drink this sauce like a juice. The taste of kiwis is quite prominent with a hint of pineapple, then you get like a spicy apple pie taste with the cinnamon. It's a very even heat, not hot but this dosen't require hardly any heat, I think you need it mild to get the balance of all the flavours but you can still taste Jalapenos. I love this.

Heat 5-10
Consistency 10/10
Taste 10/10 I don't think it can be improved.

Apart from drinking this out of the bottle I'd put it with a quality ice cream, sweet-cured ham or bacon, really any meat that has a sweet taste. I reckon it would go well with sweet potatoes too.

Thank you so much Neil for the sauce and Hab powder, you've made my week.

I know, you're a generous bunch. I've had parcels from you Bent, Stillmanz and Neil now. Top blokes.
 
randomly sent samples work out very well, i don't know why more sauce makers dont do it. It brings very good Honest feedback, and a lot of people apart from passing the word on to their chillihead friends, work out that the postage isn't so bad for a sauce thats not like anything they'll get locally.

So everyone does well really...unless of course you make a crap sauce...then things will get ugly :D

:cheers:
