Restaurant Reviews and Food Bloggers Rant

19 Dec

I love reading food blogs. I love it that a blog is literally whatever the blogger wants it to be. Whether that is: honest opinion; paid opinion; groveling sucking up; or pure fence sitting – I don’t give a shit, it’s your blog, do what you like.

That being said, I’m sick of the trend of food blogs being nancy fancy accounts of boring meals, written by boring idiots with expensive cameras. I’m sick of their reviews reading like the restaurants own mission statement. I’m especially sick of the general lack of opinion and the political correctness of these blogs. I suspect the majority of food bloggers are chasing freebies, and paid comments, so hold opinion back as to not appear too offensive.

Fuck. That. Shit.

I’m going to be ruthless. But equally I will be giving praise where it is deserved.

Stayed tuned for my first restaurant review tomorrow….

Product Review: Ass Reaper

16 Dec
The Reaper in all his evil glory!

The Reaper in all his evil glory!

Doesn’t this little fella just make you smile? With his funny name and cute bottle 🙂

That smile wont last long, because this little bugger is hot as fuck, and your ass is about to be reaped worse than if you passed out in the toilets at Arq.

I consumed this molten lava with my signature breakfast dish – Lazy Bastard Eggs – which is pretty much an omelet that I’m too lazy to cook properly so I turn it into scrambled eggs.

Each mouthful provided an agonising burn where I could feel the daggers of the main ingredients – Habanero, African Oleoresin (African birdseye extract) and Scotch Bonnet – jabbing the tips of my nerve endings. The flavour was beautiful, spicy and smooth with a hint of tomato sweetness.

Despite the heat, Rectum Ripper is actually a very accessible hot sauce. It’s intense while it’s in your mouth, but the moment you swallow you get immediate relief, just like……………….. 😉

The burn also didn’t last too long (5-10min) and all I was left with was the mythical chili high.

This one is certainly worth a try.

Heat Rating – 7/10

Taste Rating – 6/10

Ring Sting – 5/10

Pros: name, packaging and heat

Cons: heat derived from extract rather than real chili, expensive

Price – $15 (147ml)

Product Review: Rectum Ripper XXX

13 Dec

I was hoping my arsehole would resemble this paper, unfortunately the Ripper’s scythe had no such effect.

I’m calling you out – Mr ‘Rectum Ripper’ – your promise to ‘send my arse to an early grave’ was as empty as a bad metaphor!

Despite consuming half the bottle (147ml bottle) my rectum is intact (disregarding prior damage).

Recum Ripper is a tasty sauce. It derives its heat from the ubiquitous habanero pepper. It has a nice herby flavour – courtesy of ginger and mustard – and was a pleasant addition to the lamb burger and steamed veg, I had for lunch. However, ‘pleasant’ isn’t a word I should be using to describe a hot sauce! The burn was present, but weak. More of a warm tingle, that came on slowly, and lingered in the back of the mouth. I did notice some minor under-eye sweat, but not enough to warrant a wiping.

An ingredient of note was ‘Clam Juice’ – perhaps this would have been a more appropriate ingredient for my previous review???

This is a quite accessible sauce for anyone with an interest in chili and keen on adding a snuggly fuzz to their feed.

Heat Rating – 3.5/10

Taste Rating – 6/10

Ring Sting – 0/10

Price – $10
