Another product that has needlessly languished on my “to do” list for a few months since the Fiery Foods Show is one that is right in my wheelhouse when it comes to my interest in spicy snacks. I am a tremendous aficionado of beef jerky, but have acknowledged that good ones are relatively few [...]

Joe and Linda were so kind to send me a care package the other day and one of the various groovy items they sent me just HAD to get a review. Why? Because it’s one of the most addicting things I’ve ever eaten. The product is Deano’s Jalapenos: Jalapeno Chips Cheddar and are basically dehydrated [...]

I have to say right from the beginning that I’m surprised that no one else has done this before. I mean, just about every veggie known to man has been fried, except the jalapeno. Personally, I think it’s genius! If you like jalapenos, do read on as this is something you must [...]

Huh? Nuked Chili? I know what you are thinking, and your right (well, except for that guy over there, he is waaaayyy off topic). Our friends over at Cin Chili have come out with a new, ready to eat chili packet and it’s delicious!!!!
Cin Chili Hearty Beer With Beans Ingredients: Beef, water, kidney beans, chili [...]

Ah jerky, how I love thee. There are few things that give me such pleasure in life; mangos, good beer (no BMC for me), hot sauce, and jerky! Now that I have savored every bit of Ed’s Roadhouse Jerky I’m ready to review it.
Ed’s Roadhouse Jerky: L’il Sweet Jalapeno Habanero and Devil’s Tongue Ingredients: Angus [...]

The first big inventions/discoveries were fire and the wheel. Next, beer was created. From the yeast in beer we got bread. “How can we make bread better?” they asked. Sliced bread was the answer. Now many people say that there have been a few inventions “better than sliced bread”, square watermelons, soap on a rope, [...]

Dr. GONZO’s Uncommon Condiments has a full line of products, many of which are peppermashes, sauces, and other condiments, but they also have a delightful beef jerky on their menu of stuff. The Good Doctor sent me a bag of their “Industrial Strength” One Hump Jerky to try and I was all-too-happy to fill [...]

Starting off my series of reviews from the products I received at this years Weekend of Fire is from Cape Fear Pepper Company. Tracy Campbell’s wife makes this delicious product and has had many people clamoring to try to pry the recipe away from her…the stuff is just that good!
Buccaneer Bites Ingredients: Peanuts, sugar, butter, [...]

With 30+ products sitting on my shelf to do reviews upon, the first thing I pick up is…a bag of Hoppin’ Hot Habanero potato chips by D.W. Mikesell. This wasn’t a review by design but rather by circumstance. I had actually gone to snack upon something else, only to have Linda quickly snatch [...]

It’s always a pleasure to do reviews on spicy snack fare, and beef jerky is no exception. Jerky itself, I’m told, is fairly easy to make. That said, few jerky makers seem to make jerky fairly well. Too dry. Too touch. Too bland. The list goes on and on. [...]
