Devil’s Delirium and Mad Dog – the two biggest creeps I know!
How fitting that whilst in Tasmania I was able to get my hands on a jar of The Chilli Factory’s – Devil’s Delirium Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Chilli) paste.
I wasn’t even on a hot sauce mission, when I went into Mundy’s to get a stick of biltong (to give me the strength to cope with Hobart Christmas shopping!). While I was waiting for an eternity for my dried meat fix, I noticed this sucker sitting on the shelf. I was straight onto it!
I took the sauce up to Mad Dog’s shack for the tasting. When we arrived we chucked a bread mix into the bread machine, so that by the time we returned from getting loose at The Great Lakes Hotel, we would have a fresh loaf.
With a large number of beers under our belts, and armed with a couple of bottles of Tassie reds, we returned for some drinking games, and to try the Devil’s Delirium.
Due to our high level of intoxication, we thought it would be a good idea to smear a massive quantity of the paste all over it some fat slabs of our fresh bread.
The Bhut Jolokia is known as the Ghost Pepper because the heat creeps up on you. For the first few bites all you taste is fruity, delicious chilli, but then the heat hits. The only thing that creeps harder is Mad Dog, on the dancefloor, at The Metz! The flavour was amazing though, and I think this would go well with anything. However, the heat is so severe that I would reserve this one for serious chilli heads.
Undeterred we had seconds, and the next day we finished off the jar at a family bbq!
This is an amazing sauce. It is 56% Bhut Jolokia and no extract! It is quite a feat to get this much heat, and flavour into a sauce without using extract.
Hats off to you The Chilli Factory, once again you have shredded my arse whilst putting a smile on my face!
