Let's look at the facts: You already know everything you need to know about Peppermaster foods and their amazing ability to create some of the best, most flavorful sauces out there. Their website paints an interesting picture:
Finally, the all-natural table topper you've been waiting for: Mango Table Topper is the perfect condiment for the kitchen or restaurant table: Stable enough to not require refrigeration. You'll never go back to that other brand. Designed by the Peppermaster to deliver crisp heat and refined fresh flavours that enhance many global dishes. This is real pepper!
Table Topper? Never go back to that hot sauce? The throws of spice addiction are thick as lasso ropes...I doubt any pepperhead would ditch their regular sauce for what I have christened "Babysauce." But it IS an interesting take on a fruit hot sauce, and it's remarkably good!
This is a cute baby. Say hello. In the world of hot sauce, it's Peppermaster Mango Fire. Why? Let's look at the facts: Babies are cute. Babies are sweet and silly. Babies are innocent. Babies are little bundles of joy that are blissfully, wonderfully unaware of the cold, harsh, vicious world around them that they'll grow into. Why, it's just like Mango Fire! Outrageously sweet, a tiny bit spicy (as if still learning), and unaware of the painful world of hot sauce it has, through no fault of its own, entered.
I also think "Babysauce" sounds better than "baby sauce."
Good hurts: Babysauce is not the wimpiest sauce out there; in fact, it's hotter than Cholula and pretty much any Tabasco-style sauce commercially available. It's burn is a low murmer; it's like a baby version of a serious hot sauce. It will give you a lil' tongue tingle, but the teeny-tiny heat is probably pretty serious for novice spice eaters. Again, Peppermaster is rockin' the goat peppers, but not to the extent of the Curry or Pepper Fire sauces.
Flavor: I'm a big fan of the American version of "The Office." There's an episode where Michael (Steve Carrell's doddering, incompetent boss role) waits in line to get a hot pretzel and ends up getting the works: 18 different sugary toppings, from crushed peppermint to caramel drizzle to sprinkles to powdered sugar. Babysauce works on a similar principle: cane sugar, mango, pineapple, citric acid and lime juice. Also, sea salt, habanero peppers, and onions stand like wallflowers around the sugary dance floor. Amazingly, this sauce has 1 gram of sugar per serving! It's a Christmas miracle for sure. Babysauce tastes just like the yellow/orange sweet n' sour sauce at many Chinese restaurants, but it has a well-rounded halo of spice that follows each bite. It's also really, really syrupy, so be careful when pouring. One unifying factor I can think of that keeps everything on Earth connected is sugar. Animals love it. People love it. Plants...well, they make it, so they probably love it too. Everything loves sugar, including me. So by default, I love this sauce. I found half the bottle gone almost immediately, and my face and hands dyed a mysterious orange color.
Availability: What I said about Curry Fire applies here...go ahead and order it from their site.
Good for: Like the Cheech Mango, this sugary delight is good for fruit salsas, fish, rice, and livening up Chinese food or sweet meats. Mango is a remarkable fruit, sweet and juicy, and the slight hint of sea salt makes it more utilitarian. I really recommend taking whatever prior knowledge you have culinary use of mangoes and expanding it to this hot sauce.
Review:
Heat: **
Flavor: ****1/2
My Review: 8.6/10
Babysauce isn't for everyone. In fact, this review may be controversial for some hot freaks. But I stand by the fact that sweet n' savory goes a long way, so grab your babydaddy and down a bottle of Babysauce right now.
