Welcome to a freezing cold morning down here by Fisherrow Harbour,
I thought of a great way to warm things up, for Christmas I got this beautiful selection box of
hot tropical sauces from my son, and I thought I'd come down here this morning
and try them for the first time with some chips, fancy joining me welcome to RogVLOG
well, first of all, let's just take a look at the box it's absolutely
beautifully designed a really nice present,
and inside we've got jalapeno pepper sauce,
we've got a scorpion pepper sauce, I don't like the sound of that one,
we've got Nago Jolokia sauce, we've got Peri Peri sauce from Portugal, and Louisiana style sauce,
so I'm wondering whether I can manage to try all of these without blowing my own head off,
and I bought myself a bottle of water just in case they literally do blow my head off,
I thought the best thing to do would be to get some chips to try these sauces with,
the thing is I've driven past every chip shop all the way from Port Seaton,
all the way down here to Fisherrow Harbour, and none of them were open, so I had to hoof it
up to the shopping centre nearby to go to Five Guys, actually I'm not too worried about that
because Five Guys fries or Five Guys chips as we say here in the UK, are absolutely amazing
all right let's start by sampling the chips on their own, now I love the way that Five Guys,
leave the skins on plenty of salt and they are fried to perfection,
really crunchy,
okay, let's try with the sauces shall we, all right so first up it's this jalapeno pepper sauce,
the crazy pineapple, and what I'm going to do with each of these sauces is first of all
I'm just going to do a finger test first,
so that's the crazy pineapple,
maybe a little bit more,
so I am getting hints of pineapple, oh and there's the kick, there's the kick, that's actually quite
hot already, okay so now we're going to slather a bit of this sauce onto the chips,
all right should we try this,
hmm okay that's quite fruity, it's not too hot, so I'm feeling okay,
I'm feeling like I'm gonna get through this without blowing my head off,
the seagulls are getting really excited by all these chips here on the side of the harbour,
now imagine if they tried to eat one of those chips and it was covered in this pepper sauce,
all right so the second one is the one I'm dreading, this is the scorpion pepper sauce,
it says scorpion and sting, so let's give it the finger test to start with,
oops quite red,
oh my god,
oh that is savage, it's really really hot,
and it's very dry as well, um very tomatoey, uh but I'm gonna carry on
so we're gonna have to pour some onto the chips here we go, just a little bit now here we go,
no no my goodness, I knew the scorpion one was just gonna be
savage, absolutely savage, I mean why would you call it scorpion unless it was gonna be savage,
I definitely need a drink after that one, okay so the next one is the Nago Jolokia sauce,
and this one actually says, volcano, on it, so maybe this will be as bad and as hot
as the scorpion, so here we go finger test first,
hmm,
now that's not as hot as the scorpion, similar taste, maybe a little less tomatoey than the
scorpion one, actually quite like that, there's still some ferocious heat, but it's not blow
your head off heat, I reckon I could eat quite a bit of that, so let's try it with the chips,
I want to try and get quite a bit on there,
yeah all right so at the moment the volcano's winning, not because it's the hottest because it's
still hot it's just really tasty, so Nago Jolokia sauce, loving this one,
the next one is Peri Peri sauce, it says the Heart of the Congo, well I thought that Peri
Peri came from Portugal, but never mind so let's give this one the finger test,
um, oh yes now that's got lots of fruit in it, that is actually quite sweet,
the others were quite dry this is quite sweet,
it's hot too, still not as hot as a scorpion, but yeah I could quite like that
so let's give it the chip test,
hmm yeah yeah okay, that is lovely and fruity, very hot but lovely and fruity ,so at the moment
Nago Jolokia is first, that's second, the scorpion one is in a league of its own, I'm not even gonna
rank that one that was just head blowingly hot, and the final one is the Louisiana style sauce,
so I'm expecting this one to be fruity as well, Louisiana just sounds fruity doesn't it,
so let's give it a try finger test, oh yes, oh yeah that is very fruity,
almost feels as if there's alcohol in that, now it definitely isn't alcohol,
probably the most tomatoey of all five of them, and yeah it's still pretty hot,
it's still pretty hot, but I quite like that so let's give it the chip test here we go,
oh,
um yeah now you could eat quite a lot of that one, it's burning my tongue,
it's tingling my tongue, but it's not blowing my head off, and it's so tomatoey, and so fruity
mmm, that is excellent, to finish off I'm going to rank these hot sauces, so I think number one
has got to be that Nago Jolokia, the volcano one, not as hot as the scorpion, but really fruity,
really tomato, I could eat a lot of that one, so that's number one, number two is
good old-fashioned Peri Peri sauce, again you could eat lots and lots of that,
it will make your tongue sizzle, but it won't blow your head, and you could eat that with
chicken, you could eat that with meat, it's absolutely delicious, and next one probably
is the Louisiana, almost like a Bloody Mary, a Bloody Mary with a lot of Tabasco in it,
that's what it reminds me of, mmm yeah coming in close third, and number four
is the crazy pineapple, this was the one I like the least, um pineapple, fruity, not that hot,
so we'll we'll put that in fourth, and finally, and I'm not gonna rank this this is probably
number one in terms of taste, in terms of heat, in terms of blow your head off fantasticness,
this is the one that i'm going to use to finish my chips, and you know what it's starting to rain,
it was beautifully sunny when I came down the harbour half an hour ago, it's clouded over as
we've been talking, so here we go one more one more shot of scorpion venom here we go,
