Ahoy matey’s

General Lee coming to you from BAMFville with one of a line of reviews of hot sauces from All American Hot Sauce. First of all I would like to thank Buddah for setting the whole thing up and also TTF and HZO.

I was chosen to be a part of this review because my second home is in Phoenix valley area in Arizona (close to the hottest place on earth). Only a mere 113 here today. (insert sweating, stanky smiley face)

I have been here in this territory for pert-n-ere 10 years now and I am pretty sure I know all the customs here ranging from native American delicacy’s to Mexican influenced dishes to the ever so yummy Tex-Mex. So enough with all the boring mumbo-jumbo bout me, lets talk hot sauce…

Original (Full Bodied) Hot Sauce

Label – definitely Americana. RW & B. Doesn’t get any better than that. Statue of Liberty and the American flag. My first thought I just wanted “to do it for our country”.

Appearance – honestly typing, it looks like murky swamp water. I have been to the okeefenokee once or twice in my days. Not super impressed but like my wife did with me, don’t judge a book by its cover.

Ingredients – I will forfeit this for I am sure all others will type it.

Consistency – thin like Tabasco (sorry I said the name but I had to give y’all an idea)

Taste –

I tried this on 4 different meals – pizza, pork chop, leftover buffalo wings from the night before, and I also used it as a marinade on chicken strips I grilled up.

When I cracked it open, I was relieved that it for sure was not swamp water. It actually was a bit confused. It had a smell like lime for some reason. Maybe it was the rice wine vinegar? Oh well, off to the tastin’

Pizza – the ultimate of all hot sauce tasting surfaces. Conclusion – I liked it on a scale of not liked it to really liked it. (obviously meaning it was in the middle in taste) . not too much heat but a well balanced sauce. A little tingly on the ends of my tongue and a hint of lime flavor and maybe a weak jalapeno taste. It really was hard to put an exact flavor on it but I went in for more I know that. I definitely underestimated this one from the looks but the taste was very pleasant.

Pork chop – I grilled it up in a pan at the house real quick the other night cause I wanted to get a different base of what the sauce was complimenting. I doused the chop like it was my last meal and dug in. the same thought as the pizza. The tingle factor, the lime hint and the effervescent finish. No complaints besides the thinness (if that is a word).

Left over wings – yep. Good all the way. They complimented the hot sauce that they were initially doused in from the restaurant and mmmmmmmmmm good. Nuff said.

For a marinade – as they say here in AZ – no bueno. I slathered em with sauce for bout 30 minutes and grilled a little chicken up and wow, the flavor was non existent when they came off the grill. I would not recommend using it as a marinade but for all other, heck yeah and knowing that I am supporting charities / organizations in some way or another makes it that much better.

All in all, I’d give it bout a B on the college grading scale. I’d make it less runny but that’s bout it. Real good all purpose table hot sauce. Kudos Suffern Bros.
