Tassie Christmas: The Chilli

3 Jan

I’m from Tasmania (probably why I’m such an idiot). So for Christmas I thought it best to go and visit the family and get into the Christmas cheer. Oh, and also go hard on the chilli!!!

Tassie isn’t the greatest place to have a chilli related experience. Due to the cool climate, chilli’s aren’t a great crop in Tassie. Despite this I managed to acquire some intense sauces and meals.

I thought the best way to summarise my Tassie experience would be photos with captions. I’ll split the 10 day trip into 3 posts.

I’ll give these sauces a full review in the near future.

Enjoy…….dickheads

The Chilli Factory – Devil’s Delirium: I got this sauce from Mundy & Sons butchers in Hobart. Fuck it’s hot. I thought this was a fitting purchase being in the land of the devil. Mad Dog looks pretty pleased with himself, note that this photo was taken before he ate the sauce!

I had a kick-arse brekky at Pump House and requested some Tabasco, they brought me this – much better than Tabasco! Still not very hot but great on their baked eggs with chorizo.

Johnny M cooked Mad Dog and I a beautiful feast up at the lakes. We tried our best to ruin it with the Boomslang sauce (pictured on the table). Despite the head exploding and arse bursting heat of the sauce, the meal was epic!

I was stoked to find a chilli chocolate within a mix from Norman and Dan! Unfortunately this is a gimmick. It had a nice fruity flavour, but no discernable heat.

My uncle Doozie had this bad boy on offer for Christmas day. She hot! A very delicious sauce from an Aussie manufacturer.

Christmas eve dinner at Pruey’s. Note the nearly empty jar of Devil’s Delirium next to my thumbs up. We went super hard on that sauce.

This is why the Devil’s Delirium was nearly empty in the previous photo. Fresh baked bread at Mad Dog’s shack, fucking coated in molten lava. This fucked us hard. Good times, good times.

Product Review: The Chilli Factory – Turbo Supercharge Extreme Hot Habanero Paste

The Old Boy – Johnny P – with an appropriate look of intrigue and fear on his face.

Fuck yeah another cracking Aussie sauce!

This one came as a gift from my mate Drew and was previously mention in my review of Queenie’s restaurant.

Holy chili gods! What an anus puckeringly good sauce!

The heat in this is derived from habaneros who make up a staggering amount of the sauce volume – yiewwww! Lots of sauces get their heat from chili extracts, which means they can pretty much be as hot as you want to make them. The downside of extracts is that they have an artificial chemical taste. For this reason chiliheads much prefer naturally heated sauces.

This sauce has an amazing fruity flavour, almost banana-ery. It is a nice globby consistency and went so well with the pulled pork sanga, I first tried it with.

Watch out though, this one is pretty hot. The heat doesn’t linger too long though but it gets on you lips so please watch where you put you mouth after eating this one 😉

Can’t wait to try more sauces from The Chilli Factory, this is only their 4th hottest or something!

Heat Rating – 6/10

Taste Rating – 7.5/10

Ring Sting – 3/10

Pros: No extract, flavour, Aussie co.

Cons: Small container, no funny labeling 😦
