Missing Boar & Castle Sauce

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 18:08:00 +0000

If you miss your Boar & Castle Sauce, you're not alone. Here is what faithful fans of this oldtime steak sauce are saying when they write to us requesting to be added to our Boar & Castle Sauce waiting list:

“We would love to notified if Boar and Castle sauce ever returns to the market. We spent many a date at the Boar and Castle restaurant when I was at UNC and my wife to be was at WC in the late '50s and early '60s. Great, great memories and a GREAT GREAT sauce.” --B. & L.E.

“I wanted to be put on the list to be notified if they start making Boar & Castle Sauce again. I live in Wilmington, NC and they don’t have it here so I have my mom to send it to me from Greensboro now she is having a hard time finding it and now I know why. My grandson loves it and he asked for more and now I will have to tell him the bad news.” --T.P., Wilmington NC

“Please! Notify me if this awesome sauce ever becomes available again. I've been a fan since the late 60's when I went to college at UNCG, right down the street from the Boar & Castle itself. I was so distraught when the sauce became unavailable after I finished my last bottle that I washed it out and saved the bottle just for the memories!” --D.K.

“Please add me to your email list for any updates on the status of Boar and Castle sauce. We are so sad that we can't get it anymore. My parents grew up in Greensboro and they have fond memories of hanging out at the original restaurant when they were teens in the late 50's. I do remember them taking us to eat at the drive-in when I was a kid and I do remember when it was torn down. Everytime we eat the sauce, it's just like a trip back in time. Thanks for spreading the word to get the sauce back.” --L.L.

“Unfortunately, I got to your web site too late!!!!! I was a student at UNC-G in the 60's and had my share of buttered steak sandwiches and castle sauce with fries.....yum! Please let me know if it becomes available again - we bought it until several years ago when it seemed to disappear - frantic searches of all local grocery stores has yielded none!” --M.A.S., Hillsborough NC

If you'd like to be added to our Boar & Castle waiting list in order to be notified if the sauce returns, simply drop us an email at "salesATcarolinasauceDOTcom", or give us a call at 919-286-1080. Feel free to share your Boar & Castle memories when you email us, or leave it as a comment to this blog. And stay tuned to this blog, because I might have a special announcement in the VERY near future!

Mystery Sauce: Could It Be Back???

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:00:00 +0000

Out of the blue, I had a very interesting phone call a few weeks ago about a sorely-missed product and the possibility of its return. Soon afterwards, I received my promised sample of sauce, to taste and evaluate. The sample bore no label and did not come with a list of ingredients -- this allowed me to taste the sauce without any preconceptions from an ingredient list. I photographed the bottle before opening it, and the photo appears on the left. I did notice that the color and consistency of the sauce in the bottle sure did look familiar, reminding me of an old favorite....

I opened the bottle, and like the "trained professional" that I am, I first sniffed it (mmmmmmm, sure does smell familiar!), and then I poured some onto a spoon (yep, that's the right consistency). Finally, the all-important taste test: A slurp from the spoon to get the "straight" flavor (yummmmmmm!), and then a bite of a burger slathered with the mystery sauce....... I closed my eyes and smiled with satisfaction, and thought, "it's been a long time, baby!" The familiar flavor brought back memories, with its mustard-tomato base and a rich, subtle tang that just begged, "pour me on a steak!"

Could it really be? Could this be the return of an old friend? Might this be what so many North Carolinians have been waiting to experience again? If you miss Boar & Castle Sauce, then stay tuned to this blog for more information in the VERY near future!!!

Zestfully yours,
Gloria

Spicy Skillet Cabbage

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 02:22:00 +0000

Here's a hearty side dish that's especially satisfying this time of year as the weather starts getting cooler. You control the heat level by which hot sauce you use, and how much of it you add. You should use an uncomplicated vinegar-pepper hot sauce such as the ones I've suggested, to enhance rather than overwhelm the flavors in this dish.

Ingredients
4 cups shredded cabbage
2 slices of bacon
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 cup shredded carrots
1 thinly sliced onion
2 tomatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Several dashes of a vinegar hot sauce: For a mildly spicy dish, I recommend Texas Pete Hot Sauce; for a Medium heat I recommend Durn Good Hot Sauce; and for a Hot heat I recommend Blues Habanero Reserve Hot Sauce
Salt to taste (optional)

Fry the bacon in a large skillet (cast iron is ideal for this recipe) until crispy. Remove bacon from skillet (leave the bacon grease in the skillet), and place the bacon on paper towels to cool. Add all the remaining ingredients, EXCEPT the tomatoes, to the skillet and cook on medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to turn golden and the cabbage has softened. While that's cooking, crumble the cooled bacon and set aside. Remove the skillet from heat, stir in the tomatoes and crumbled bacon, and serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8 as a side dish.

September's Best Selling Hot Sauce, BBQ Sauce, & More

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:32:00 +0000

I've finally finished tallying the product category numbers for September and updated the top ten best-selling sauces lists at the Carolina Sauce Company online store. Here are quick links to each product category list, as well as a notable product or two for each category.

*Best-Selling Hot Sauces: Hard-core hot sauce addicts were shopping in droves in September, because the original Dave's Insanity Sauce and the ridiculously hot Dave's Ultimate Insanity Sauce both made the list -- and the original Insanity Sauce is currently on sale!

*Best-Selling Barbecue Sauces: A classic vinegar & pepper sauce from eastern NC, Scott's Barbecue Sauce, came in at #5 -- not bad for a sauce that's been around for about 100 years!

*Best-Selling Marinades & Dressings saw a fifth-place finish by the creamy, festively spicy (and intentionally misspelled) Wahoo Willie's Carribean Ranch Dressing -- get it while you can, as it's no longer being made and only limited quantities are available!

*Best-Selling Rubs & Seasonings: Three different flavors of Char Crust Seasonings made the list, coming in at #7 (Char Crust Roasted Garlic Peppercorn Seasoning), #8 (Char-Crust Original Hickory), and #9 (Char Crust Roto Roast), respectively

*Best-Selling Wing Sauces: The buttery, mildly spicy but wicked-good Scorned Woman Wicked Wing Sauce finished in 4th place

*Best-Selling Snacks: The tangy, NC barbecue-flavored Carolina BBQ Peanuts came in at #7

*Best-Selling Gift Sets: Folks must be getting ready for Halloween early this year, because our Scary Sauces Gift Set made the list with a very impressive 4th place finish!

Louisiana Bayou Blend Seasoning

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:08:00 +0000

Who ever said that a seasoning must have salt to be flavorful? Or that you can't make Cajun food without a hefty dose of sodium? If you've always thought that you can't live without salt, or that there aren't any tasty salt-free seasonings out there, you're about to be proven wrong by Louisiana Bayou Blend Seasoning, one of the newest products to arrive at the Carolina Sauce Company online store. Made in Cajun country and packing a serious flavor punch, Louisiana Bayou Blend Seasoning is made with a secret blend of black pepper, garlic and other spices that is so tasty you'll forget it's salt-free. The heat level is only mildly spicy, which means it's great for the whole family. Use this seasoning blend in all your Cajun and creole recipes, and in anything else where you want to add zesty, savory flavor without adding sodium or too much peppery heat. In my kitchen at home, Louisiana Bayou Blend is one of the handful of all-purpose seasonings that I reach for regularly to spice up meat, chicken, seafood, veggies, and even salad. Regardless of whether your dietary needs require you to use low sodium or no sodium products, Louisiana Bayou Blend Seasoning is sure to please palates of all ages and sensitivities. Order it today from the Carolina Sauce Company!

Smokin' Cole's Original BBQ Dry Rub

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 01:06:00 +0000

Smokin' Cole's Original BBQ Rub is a sweet & savory blend of salt, dried chilies and other spices for a seasoning that works wonders with ribs, pork butt, brisket, and anything else you want to grill. The sweetness comes from evaporated cane juice, and the result is a mouthwatering caramelized crust that seals in the meat's juices and enhances the savory flavors. This award-winning dry rub is made by the same folks who brought us Smokin' Cole's Original Barbecue Sauce, and the heat level of both is a pleasantly spicy medium but on the milder side of medium (as opposed to the hotter side), making them crowd-pleasers by striking the perfect balance of flavor with a peppery kick.

In addition to using Smokin' Cole's BBQ Dry Rub the obvious way (on ribs and other meats), we've also enjoyed it as a seasoning for roast chicken, sauteed potatoes & onions, steamed or microwaved vegetables, and even on popcorn. In fact, when I'm in the mood for a fat-free but flavorful tossed salad, I forego dressing and instead liberally sprinkle Smokin' Cole's BBQ Dry Rub on my salad and then squeeze half a lemon or lime over the whole thing and toss. The sweet-salty-spicy-citrusy flavors satisfy my palate without adding the calories and fat that ordinary salad dressing would. Of course, Greg thinks I'm weird for doing this, but we both agree that Smokin' Cole's Dry Rub really shines when used as intended, to season ribs and other hearty fare before smoking, grilling, broiling or roasting.

You can get both the Smokin' Cole's BBQ Sauce and the Dry Rub at the Carolina Sauce Company - and you'll get a free award-winning recipe when you order either product!

Additional Boar & Castle Stories

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 20:40:00 +0000

Here are a few more memories from loyal Boar & Castle Sauce fans who miss their favorite condiment, and are longing for its return:

“HELP !!!!!!!!! As a teenager in the 60's, the Boar & Castle in Greensboro was a great place to eat, cruise, see & be seen. The food was great - mostly because of the sauce. For the past 18 years, I've lived in CT. I had my family send me three things- Duke's mayonnaise, Luisianne tea, and Boar & Castle sauce. Last month we were packing to move to Wilmington and I gave my last 4 bottles to my best friend who had fallen in love with the stuff. Little did I know I should have saved it! We got to Wilmington and I couldn't find it, so I called my family in High Point. They couldn't find it either! I found your site and learned the terrible truth - I WANT MY BOAR & CASTLE SAUCE !!!! I'll give up a lot of things, but this is not one of them!! Please keep me posted - hopefully someone will see the demand and produce the best steak, hamburger, fries, or whatever you want to put it on sauce ever made. I've traveled the entire US and never found anything close.” --J.L.

“I grew up in Greensboro & my parents used to take me & my brother to the Boar and Castle when we were growing up in the 70s. I'd been buying B&C sauce for years at local (Chapel Hill) grocers, and was concerned when I stopped seeing it. Please do let me know if it becomes available again. Seeing that it's discontinued makes for a sad day for me.” --T.H.

“While living in Greensboro, NC, our family used to freqent the Boar & Castle Drive-In. We would love to be able to buy their sauce. Please advise when & where it will be available.” --G.C., Georgetown TX

“I was born in 1954 in Greensboro, NC and grew up on Castle Burgers & Fries. I can remember going there with my older sister and enjoying the food, especially the fries dipped in Boar & Castle sauce. When I turned 16 and starting driving - The Boar and Castle was a great place to go and hang out with your friends and meet new friends. Boar and Castle sauce has always been an item in my home - ever since it was put in grocery stores for sale. My husband and I moved to Carolina Beach, NC in 1995 - and have been unable to find it here locally. I use to stock up on it when I visited family in Greensboro. Now I can't find it at all. This is really sad - because it was a sauce you could put on anything - even use it for dip on chips. It would be a shame to let this product disappear." --N.B., Carolina Beach, NC

Don't despair: I've heard more rumors recently that something may be in the works that will make Boar & Castle Sauce fans very happy! If you'd like to be notified if Boar & Castle Sauce becomes available again, or if you have a Boar & Castle story you'd like to share, please email us at sales-AT-carolinasauce-DOT-com (without the dashes), or call us at 919-286-1080. And keep coming back to this blog to read more stories, and to make sure you don't miss any special announcements!

Nando's Grinds: All Gone, For Good

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:05:00 +0000

Newsflash: It's official: all 3 flavors of Nando's Peri-Peri Grinds are now completely sold out at the Carolina Sauce Company online store, and they're gone for good as the manufacturer discontinued production. It's the sad end of an era, because these zesty, full-flavored spice blends were not only delicious but versatile and easy to use. The flavors ranged from the citrusy, mildly peppery Lemon & Herb Peri Peri Grinder to the fiery but flavor-packed Hot Peri Peri Grinder, with the savory and spicy Medium Peri Peri Grinder in the middle of the heat scale. What made the Nando's Grinders particularly convenient was their handy spice-grinding lid: Flip open the cap and twist, and you could custom-grind the whole spices and coarse sea salt onto your food or into your recipes. Alternatively, screw off the entire top and you could add whole spices and coarse sea salt directly into whatever recipe you were making. All three flavors of the Nando's Peri Peri Grinds sold very well, so we were quite surprised to learn earlier this year that the manufacturer was no longer going to make them. They will be sorely missed.

But don't worry, there are still plenty of other flavorful seasonings and dry rubs for you to try at the Carolina Sauce Company, including two brand-new arrivals: The salt-free Cajun seasoning called Louisiana Bayou Blend Seasoning, and the award-winning, sweet & salty Smokin' Cole's Original BBQ Dry Rub & Seasoning. And if you're looking for a slightly sweet, moderately spicy seasoning with a hint of citrus, then Southern Twang Dry Rub is sure to satisfy. For Nando's fans, we still have all flavors of Nando's Marinades, Nando's Cooking Sauces, and Nando's Peri Peri Hot Sauces in stock. Finally, we are in the process of adding a few more new products to our online store, including two new flavors of Mama T's Seasonings & Dry Rubs (in addition to the Seafood Seasoned Salt and the Ranch Seasoning which we introduced earlier this year), so stay tuned for more new product announcements and reviews, coming soon!

Saw's Sauce: New & Improved!

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 01:58:00 +0000

Newsflash: Saw's Sauce, the zesty marinade and BBQ sauce created by Chef Mike Wilson of "Cooking Light" Magazine's test kitchen, recently debuted its new and improved recipe in a tall and svelte new bottle shape. The result of many late nights spent with buddies around the backyard BBQ pit, Saw's Sauce is a savory, zippy blend of tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, peppers and spices -- and now it's all-natural as well as even better tasting! Use Saw's Sauce as a marinade, grilling & barbecue sauce, and dipping sauce for pork, chicken, veggies and even oysters and other seafood whenever you want to add tangy, slightly sweet and peppery spicy flavor. You can get the new and improved, all-natural Saw's Sauce, as well as other delicious barbeque & grilling sauces, from the Carolina Sauce Company.

Olio & Spices Red Wine Onion Sauce

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:30:00 +0000

In our ongoing search for the most delicious, versatile and highest quality products for the Carolina Sauce Company online store, we sometimes run across a real gem of a sauce or condiment. And if we're really lucky, we'll unearth an entire line of products of superb quality and flavor, made from the finest all-natural ingredients. We're thrilled to announce the first arrival of such a product line, Olio & Spices Red Wine Onion Sauce. Made in Israel from all-natural ingredients, and Kosher Parev OU, this thick, rich gourmet sauce will serve you well in all sorts of cooking and grilling applications, as well as on your table to accompany hearty main dishes, and even as a simple topping for crackers or crostini or cheese when poured straight from the bottle.

Olio & Spices Red Wine Onion Sauce reminds me of chutney (without the Indian seasonings) in its sweet-savory flavor profile and thick, almost jam-like texture with bits of onion. I like to use this everyday gourmet sauce with grilled meats including steak, venison, and even burgers, and with roast beef and other full-flavored meat dishes. It also caramelizes beautifully when used on chicken, fish and ribs during roasting or grilling. Combine it with softened cream cheese for a quick appetizer or spread. One taste of this fabulous Red Wine Onion Sauce, and you'll be hooked on Olio & Spices sauces. Stay tuned to this blog, because the Carolina Sauce Company will soon be adding more sauces and condiments from this wonderful new Israeli product line!

Louisiana Swamp Scum Hot Sauce

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:20:00 +0000

Some hot sauces aspire to strike fear in the hearts of shoppers by adopting intimidating names like "You Can't Handle This Hot Sauce", scary-looking labels (Black Mamba Hot Sauce), frightening bottle "add-ons" like skull keychains (Blair's Death Hot Sauces) and realistic-looking spiders (Widow No Survivors Hot Sauce), or creepy bottle shapes (Satan's Blood). Our newest hot sauce takes "fear appeal" one step further: Louisiana Swamp Scum Hot Sauce is downright creepy-looking when you pour it out of the bottle and onto your food. The deep forest-green color, with visible bits of seasoning and oozy consistency, all give this authentic Cajun hot sauce the appearance of stagnant pond water or swamp scum. Thankfully, however, the aroma and flavor of Louisiana Swamp Scum Hot Sauce are far more attractive than the sauce's appearance!

Made in bayou country from an old Cajun recipe, Louisiana Swamp Scum Hot Sauce features earthy smoky flavors in a slightly sweet and peppery vinegar base that lacks the harsh vinegary sharpness of simpler Louisiana hot sauces. The heat level straight from the bottle is no more than a medium, and tempers down to a mild spiciness when used on food. The sweet and smoky flavor pairs quite well with hamburgers, steaks, sausage and other hearty meats, as well as with roasted or BBQ chicken, shrimp and seafood, and veggie dishes. You can also splash this award-winning, food-friendly hot sauce on rice, french fries, omelets, scrambled eggs, and any other dishes that could use a flavor boost. You can now order Louisiana Swamp Scum Hot Sauce from the Carolina Sauce Company.

Homemade Peri Peri Pepper BBQ Marinade

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 23:55:00 +0000

The Peri-peri pepper, also called the bird's eye pepper, is used in Portuguese cuisine and in parts of Africa that had a Portuguese colonial presence, including Mozambique and South Africa. If you live in a city with a large immigrant population from one of these countries, you just might be able to find fresh peri-peri peppers at a local market. They're the key ingredient in this traditional Portuguese recipe, which makes a spicy and flavorful marinade for shrimp (marinate for 30 minutes) or chicken (marinate for several hours). When grilling, baste the shrimp or chicken with additional marinade.

Ingredients
1 fresh peri peri pepper, de-seeded (or keep the seeds for extra heat) & finely minced
1/2 tsp Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Juice of 1 lime
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil (Spanish olive oil if available)
Ground black pepper, to taste
Salt, to taste

In a small bowl, combine the peri peri pepper, paprika, coriander, garlic and lime juice. Whisk in the olive oil, combining thoroughly, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Can't find fresh peri-peri peppers, or don't have the time to make the marinade from scratch? Then try Nando's Peri-Peri Barbecue Marinade, an authentic peri-peri pepper marinade from South Africa that's based on a colonial Portuguese recipe. Nando's also makes delicious peri peri hot sauces.

Tony's Birdland Wing Sauces

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 03:00:00 +0000

Do you love chicken wings but want an alternative to ordinary Buffalo style wing sauces? Do you wish there was a flavorful wing sauce out there that you could also use on ribs, grilled chicken, and even veggie dishes? Would you like a kid-friendly sauce to serve with chicken nuggets or fish sticks, but that would also taste good on more grown-up fare? If you answered YES to any of those questions, then Tony's Birdland Sauces are for you! Featured at Tony's Birdland Restaurant & Pizzeria, a popular eatery in Rochester, NY, these sauces break the Buffalo wing sauce mold by starting with a tomato-vinegar base and adding sugar and crushed red pepper instead of cayenne. The end result is a thick, rich sauce that's sweet and tangy, with just a touch of peppery spice in the Mild wing sauce, and a more robust medium-hot burn in the Hot wing sauce.

For folks who want more flavor but without hot peppers, there's Tony's Birdland Sweet & Sour Sauce, with a more pronounced tang but just enough sweetness to make it a real hit with kids (think dipping sauce for nuggets and other fried foods), as well as a versatile stir-fry sauce, rib sauce, and more. In fact, the Sweet & Sour Sauce was a surprise favorite on steamed broccoli when we recently sampled several new cooking sauces. But all three flavors of Tony's Birdland Wing Sauces truly shine when tossed with chicken wings (breaded or "naked"). When we sampled these sauces, Greg used them as marinades for raw chicken wings, then he grilled the wings while basting with more sauce. Once the wings were done, he poured fresh sauce in a bowl and tossed the grilled wings (some in each flavor) to coat them well. The thickness of the sauce helped it cling to the wings, and the sugar caramelized nicely during grilling, which pleasantly intensified the flavors. The end result was chicken wing nirvana - much to the joy of one of our tasters who normally doesn't like chicken wings (and she asked for seconds, of each flavor!) All three flavors of Tony's Birdland wing sauces are now available at the Carolina Sauce Company online store.

Oink Moo Cock-A-Doodle-Doo BBQ Sauce is Back!

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 17:50:00 +0000

Newsflash: After suddenly disappearing for a few months without any explanation, Oink Moo Cock-A-Doodle-Doo Barbecue Sauce is available again, and back in stock at the Carolina Sauce Company! This delicious barbeque sauce with the long and funny name delivers authentic Piedmont NC flavor to pork barbecue, and is also terrific as a marinade for other meats and for chicken. Unlike straight-vinegar BBQ sauces found in eastern NC, Oink Moo Cock-A-Doodle-Doo Barbecue Sauce adds tomatoes and sugar to the vinegar base (and that's what makes it a Piedmont or Lexington style sauce). The result is a tangy, slightly sweet and spicy barbeque sauce that's addictively good and adds great flavor to more than just pulled pork barbecue. Developed in rural Yadkinville NC (outside Winston-Salem) by two charming country ladies, Oink Moo Cock-A-Doodle-Doo Barbecue Sauce is what you want for old-fashioned, down-home flavor. And for all of you hunters out there, you'll want to try this sauce on venison!

Big John's Famous Key West Hot Sauces: All Gone

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 20:25:00 +0000

Newsflash: It's official: All 3 flavors of Big John's Famous Key West Hot Sauces are now officially sold out at the Carolina Sauce Company, and we can't get any more as our supplier is also out and the manufacturer has discontinued production. It's a shame, because these handcrafted, flavor-packed tropical hot sauces were really quite tasty. But don't despair: If you're craving some hot sauce from sunny Florida, I can recommend some good ones to help fill the void created by Big John's demise. Here are some of my favorites:

*Kato's Down South Hot Sauce, made in the classic style with scotch bonnet peppers in a straightforward vinegar base, so you get the true flavor and fire of the peppers without altering the flavors of your food.

*Dat'l Do It Devil Drops and Dat'l Do It Hot Sauce, both featuring the rare datil pepper that grows only in St. Augustine, Florida. The Devil Drops are a fiery Caribbean style (vinegar & carrot base) hot sauce that gets a touch of sweetness from mangos and sugar, making it a nice substitute for Big John's Mango Fandango Hot Sauce. The slightly tamer Dat'l Do It Hot Sauce is a thicker, tomato-based and honey-sweetened sauce that doubles as a fiery and flavorful condiment for burgers, fries, meatloaf, and even sausage and eggs!

*Hog's Breath Key West Hot Sauces from the famous Hog's Breath Saloon in Key West. These are the table sauces available at the restaurant, including the original Red hot sauce made with a secret blend of peppers in a simple vinegar base, the green Jalapeno hot sauce that's enhanced with garlic, and the fiery Extra-Hot sauce that's not only hotter than the original red but also offers more complex flavors thanks to the addition of worcestershire sauce and other savory ingredients.

Can't get enough of the flavors of Florida, but don't have the cash to visit the sunshine state anytime soon? Then try our Florida Flavors Gift Set, featuring a bottle of the locally famous Rumboggies BBQ Sauce (a mustard-based barbeque sauce) as well as a couple of the hot sauces mentioned above, all at a discount off the regular price if each sauce was purchased separately. And if you're craving fruity hot sauces, you can't go wrong with any of the Maui Pepper Co. Hot Sauces, including a uniquely delicious hot sauce made with apples and rum!

DEFCON Wing Sauces

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:59:00 +0000

DEFCON All-Purpose Wing Sauces are, in my opinion, the prefection of the original Buffalo style wing sauce. Like traditional Buffalo wing sauces, DEFCON sauces begin with a cayenne pepper and vinegar base for that familiar hot wings tang and spice. But while traditional Buffalo style wing sauces usually add butter or margarine to help the sauces cling to chicken wings, DEFCON Sauces use real cream instead, making them thicker, richer and more palate-pleasing, as well as better for coating your wings. These wing sauces have rightfully won numerous major international awards over the past few years, including several 1st Place Golden Chile trophies at the Fiery Foods Challenge and multiple Top 3 finishes across several categories at the Scovie Awards. Not only do they taste good, but the bottles and labels look good: each bottle is sealed in colored wax, and the label text is witty while the bottle shape and graphics create a sinister "laboratory" look.

DEFCON Wing Sauces are creatively named after the military Defense Condition scale, with 3 representing the lowest threat level and 1 representing the most serious level. DEFCON 3 Low Heat Wing Sauce is the original recipe, and is the product of 15 years of tweaking and perfecting a recipe that's sure to make a convert of folks who claim they don't like Buffalo wings. The spice level is mild, with just enough of a peppery bite to wake up your taste buds without burning your mouth. DEFCON 2 Medium Heat Wing Sauce takes the heat level up to a steady, lingering medium (or medium-hot, if you're more sensitive to heat). This is the sauce I'd recommend for people who like hot wings with a real kick. And for those foolhardy folks with battle-hardened palates, there's DEFCON 1 Extreme Heat Wing Sauce, with enough added pepper extract to guarantee an endorphin rush by your third wing. Yes, it is seriously (some would say dangerously) hot, and not for children or the infirm. I'm not kidding: DEFCON 1 made my brow sweat, my nose run, my heart race and my brain fly, and my incendiary wings actually tasted good, too!

You can use DEFCON sauces on breaded or unbreaded wings -- we actually sampled the sauces on grilled wings that had first been marinaded in each sauce and then basted as they grilled, and finally tossed in a bit more fresh sauce before serving. Cooking seemed to intensify the heat in the sauces (compared to tasting them out of the bottle), and the flavors melded quite nicely. We've also used DEFCON sauces with steak instead of regular steak sauce, and also for dipping fried foods instead of using ketchup. All 3 sauces deliver the same rich, tangy flavor, so just make sure you choose the heat level that suits your preferences. DEFCON sauces are all-natural, low carb (only 1 carb per serving), gluten-free and contain no MSG. And all 3 flavors are now available at the Carolina Sauce Company!

Spicy Succotash

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 01:56:00 +0000

This spicy succotash is a great way to enjoy late summer vegetables like summer squash, corn and hot peppers. Although the following recipe is vegetarian, feel free to add 8 ounces of pre-cooked diced chicken, diced ham, sliced cooked kielbasa or even cooked shrimp. You control the spiciness by selecting the type and quantity of hot peppers. Make sure to use breaded okra, not plain, because the breading will prevent the okra from becoming slimy (and no one likes slimy succotash!). And don't worry when the breading starts crumbling off and mixing into the succotash, as that's supposed to happen while you cook this dish.

Ingredients
1 lb frozen breaded okra, defrosted
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels (defrosted)
1 cup fresh or frozen lima beans (defrosted)
8 oz summer squash (zucchini and/or yellow squash), cut lengthwise in half and then sliced crosswise into 1/4 inch thick half-moons
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper (you can use sweet red bell pepper, too)
1 or 2 diced fresh hot peppers (cayennes or jalapenos work well), seeds & membranes removed if preferred
1/2 cup chopped onion (yellow, sweet or red all work)
1 1/2 tsp minced fresh garlic
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
Pure olive oil (not extra virgin), for cooking (vegetable or peanut oil also work)

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok and saute the okra on medium-high heat until it starts to brown. Add the onions, peppers and garlic, saute until soft. Add the corn, lima beans and squash,saute until the squash softens, onions are translucent and the okra has browned. You might need to add a little more oil during cooking. Season with salt & pepper, add any meat (chicken, ham, sausage or shrimp) and saute until everything is heated through. Serves 4 as a main dish, 6 to 8 as a side dish. ***Note: If you really hate lima beans, like my husband does, simply leave them out!

Zestfully yours,
Gloria
Carolina Sauce Company

PS: Instead of using plain salt and pepper to season this succotash, you can play around with different dry rubs and seasonings as a substitute for the salt & pepper. I like to use Knox Cracked Pepper Dry Rub for a touch of gourmet flair, or Durn Good Original Seasoning for down home southern flavor.

Shipping to NC Addresses

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 13:22:00 +0000

Here's a quick shipping tip for folks who shop at the Carolina Sauce Company online store and want to have their order shipped to an address in North Carolina. The cheapest shipping option available is usually UPS Ground, and within North Carolina UPS Ground will deliver the very next business day. So if you need to have your order delivered the next day to a North Carolina address, you do NOT need to pay for Next Day Air shipping because the much cheaper UPS Ground service will provide next-day delivery within the state (the Carolina Sauce Company resides in Durham, NC). Just make sure you place your order before noon Eastern Time, because we cannot promise same-day shipping for orders we receive after noon. Also, please be aware that next-day delivery does NOT include Saturday delivery, so if you place an order on a Friday morning, next-day delivery will take place on the following business day, which is usually a Monday (if Monday is a holiday, then next-day delivery will take place on Tuesday). This is true even with UPS Next Day Air service - delivery is on the next business day, not on a Saturday.

If you need to have an order delivered on a Saturday, please contact us by phone (919-286-1080) or email (salesATcarolinasauceDOTcom) to request a custom quote for Saturday delivery.

A Few More Boar & Castle Sauce Tales

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 20:32:00 +0000

If you've been wondering about my recent "silence," it's because I had to take a brief trip out of town and haven't had a chance to write. In fact, I'm currently writing from the Dallas airport, awaiting my flight home.... but luckily, I had collected a few more Boar & Castle Sauce stories before leaving work last Thursday, so I can now share those with you.

As you know if you've been following my blog, the old favorite steak sauce known as Boar & Castle Sauce was "retired" last year when the manufacturer closed down his business. Since then, however, there have been rumors that it might return someday, much to the hope of countless Boar & Castle Sauce fans, including some who used to frequent the namesake restaurant decades ago. The Carolina Sauce Company is keeping a list of people who want to be notified if Boar & Castle Sauce is available again, or if we can find a reasonably close substitute for it. In writing to request that they be added to our list, many folks have shared their Boar & Castle stories with us. A few more follow:

“We understand that you are no longer making Boar and Castle Sauce to our great dismay!!!!!! We have used it in cooking for many, many years ever since it was produced for sales in grocery stores--after eating many of the Castle burgers while in college (Wake Forest--driving to G'boro to get a castle burger fix). We later moved to Virginia and always stocked up on a supply of Boar and Castle when visiting family and doing business in Winston-Salem and Greensboro over the years after Harris Teeter sold out to Kroger in Virginia and Food Lion changed hands and no longer stocked it. We now have one bottle left in our stockpile and when we started looking to see if more could be purchased, it was to our great dismay to learn that Boar and Castle sauce was no longer being produced for retail sales.” --D. & J.O., Blacksburg VA

***Note: The Carolina Sauce Company did NOT stop making Boar & Castle Sauce -- we're merely an online retailer, and NOT the manufacturer. So please don't blame us! In fact, we want Boar & Castle Sauce back just as badly as you do!***

“I would most certainly love to be placed on the mailing list for any news concerning the Boar and Castle sauce. I was deeply saddened to hear that the sauce had been discontinued by the manufacturer (and not the Carolina Sauce Company). I had enjoyed the sauce for many years. We have truly lost something great in the Triad.” --S.B.

“My wife and I are high school sweethearts; me from Salisbury, she from Statesville. Married 45 years. We have had the sauce shipped to us in places like Hawaii and England. We are down to a half bottle in the fridge and one unopened full bottle. We went to Food Lion recently to replenish. None there. Figured it was no longer carried because of the European buyout. Went to Harris-Teeter. Not there either. Looked on line thinking we might need it shipped again. Imagine our surprise and devastation in finding the blog saying it was no longer made.” --T.H., Salvo, NC

“I am delighted to have found your site but so very disappointed that the Boar & Castle Sauce is unavailable at this time. Can you please give me an update on when the delightful sauce may once again be available? This has been our 'mainstay' for the past 15+ years and hope it will not be discontinued!! … When my husband and I were relocated to Iowa for the past ten years, I would always "stock up" on this product to take back to Iowa and share with our Midwestern friends. We are so very saddened to learn it is no longer available… Years ago when I was a student at 'Woman's College,' the Boar & Castle' was our favorite hangout --- also where I was introduced to the outstanding sauce!” --S.F., Stanley NC

“Please say it isn't so!!! I don't think I can live the rest of my life without this sauce!! Have been eating it since the 1960's. Please let me know if it becomes available again!” --J.G., Raleigh NC

“I would like to be informed if the Boar and Castle Sauce becomes available again. I grew up on this sauce and it was great. It’s a shame it was discontinued.” --T.F.

If you, too, would like to be notified if Boar & Castle Sauce is available again, please call us (919-286-1080) or email us at sales"AT"carolinasauce"DOT"com to get on our waiting list. Feel free to share your Boar & Castle story when you email us, or leave a comment here.

Hopefully I'll be back in Durham tonight, so that I can get back to work tomorrow on getting all our brand-new products up on our website. We have a BUNCH of exciting and delicious new sauces that recently arrived, so stay tuned for more info so you can check them out yourself!

Zestfully yours,

Susie's Calypso: Saying Goodbye

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:32:00 +0000

Sadly, we learned today that Susie's Calypso Hot Sauce is being discontinued by the manufacturer. This spicy, tropical hot sauce from Antigua has been around for decades, and has a devoted following among chileheads and other folks who enjoy authentic Caribbean hot sauces. Most fans discovered this sauce while on a Caribbean cruise, or received it from a friend or relative who visited the islands. Like the other flavors of Susie's Hot Sauces, Susie's Calypso is usually hard to find in the US. Here at Carolina Sauce Company, we've always tried to keep a ready supply for our customers. When we received our most recent shipment from our importer, however, we received only 6 bottles. This means we have only 7 bottles in stock, and we won't be able to get any more when they're gone. So don't delay; order Susie's Calypso Sauce today!

Walkerswood Jonkanoo is Back in Stock!

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:32:00 +0000

Walkerswood Jonkanoo Pepper Sauce, a festive and fiery hot sauce from Jamaica, is finally back in stock at the Carolina Sauce Company. Made with a blend of Caribbean chile peppers, scallions, garlic and onions, Walkerswood Jonkanoo pleases the palate with serious savory flavor as well as serious heat, and just a touch of sweetness as a pleasant counterpoint to the zestiness. Because it's such a food-friendly sauce, Jonkanoo Pepper Sauce is found on the table of many a fan of spicy foods. Even if you don't care for Jamaican jerk seasonings, you'll still enjoy Walkerswood Jonkanoo as its flavors are more along the lines of a traditional Caribbean hot sauce, and not a pungent jerk seasoning.

If you're one of the many chileheads out there who enjoys Walkerswood Jonkanoo, or if you're on the fence about trying it, stop hesitating and order it now: Rumors continue to fly that Walkerswood might not be making "retail size" bottles of their products anymore, so we might not be able to re-stock when we run out!

Grilling Green

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 23:44:00 +0000

A few weeks ago, I read an interesting article with tips on how to grill in an eco-friendly way. While some of the tips didn't strike me as particularly useful or practical for most people -- e.g., avoid beef, eat only local foods, replace your charcoal grill with a propane one and avoid grates with a chemical non-stick coating -- a few of the other tips are actually quite easy to implement and will result in better-tasting food, to boot. Here are some ways you can "grill green" and help the environment while enjoying delicious grilled food:

*Use natural, 100% wood lump charcoal instead of chemical-laden briquettes. Your food will taste better because natural lump charcoal burns cleaner, and doesn't impart any off-flavors from chemicals found in composite briquettes. And unlike composite briquettes, you can use the cold ash from natural wood charcoal in your garden. Natural wood chips are also an excellent choice for environmentally friendly grilling and smoking.

*Use a charcoal chimney instead of lighter fluid to start the fire, and light some crumpled newspaper to light the coals in the chimney. Lighter fluid may be quick, but it's too easy to use too much, and it can add nasty flavors to your food (and you'll be breathing in the toxic fumes). Plus, adding lighter fluid can make grilling more dangerous. A starter chimney is easy to use, and will get the coals nice and hot pretty quickly because they'll be stacked up.

*Preheat your grill for only 5 to 10 minutes. You really don't need to waste fuel or add wear and tear to your grill by preheating for longer. Just make sure you keep an eye on your grill thermometer when preheating, and you'll see that you really can get your grill to the desired temperature within 10 minutes or so, especially when using a charcoal chimney or a propane grill with a built-in thermometer.

*Make sure your grill is clean. Dirty grill grates impart unpleasant flavors when caked-on bits of old food or sauce start to burn, and they also produce more smoke (pollution) and possibly even release carcinogens into the air. By washing your grill grates and drip pan with hot, soapy water after each use, and also keeping the inside of the grill clean, you'll not only pollute less but your food will taste much better.

*Choose organic sauces, or at least all-natural BBQ sauces like Bone Suckin' Sauce and all-natural dry rubs like Texas Rib Rangers Seasonings, to season your food. Trust me, you won't miss the artificial ingredients or preservatives, and these types of sauces and condiments are healthier as well as naturally delicious, too.

Gloria

Another Operation Sauce Drop Milestone

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:18:00 +0000

Operation Sauce Drop, our nonprofit program to send free gift boxes of BBQ Sauce and Hot Sauce to U.S. troops serving abroad, reached a new milestone today: We shipped out our 200th free gift box of sauce! Operation Sauce Drop is made possible through the donations of regular folks who have contributed anywhere from $5 to $300, and through product donations from generous manufacturers like Pepper Dog Salsa and Jim's Own BBQ Sauce, and through the contributions of the Carolina Sauce Company including labor, paying all incidental costs, and (as of July 4, 2008) matching 100% of all donations received.

Operation Sauce Drop lets members of the US Armed Forces with an APO or FPO address select a free gift box of sauce from 7 different gift boxes of barbecue sauce and hot sauce. Operation Sauce Drop covers the cost of the products and shipping so that our troops receive their choice of gift box for free. Folks who want to donate to Operation Sauce Drop can do so via PayPal, MasterCard, Visa or Discover Card, or by mailing a check, or even by shopping to support Operation Sauce Drop.

As of today, Operation Sauce Drop has shipped out 207 free gift boxes of sauce to our troops stationed abroad. The troops really appreciate the generosity and thoughtfulness of our donors, as is readily apparent from the many thank-you notes to donors that they've sent. Although donations have picked up lately, Operation Sauce Drop still has a waiting list of over 50 troops who have signed up to receive a free gift box of sauce (some waiting for several months). As soon as donations come in, Carolina Sauce Company matches them and purchases the sauces needed to send out the next batch of gift boxes to troops on the waiting list. If you'd like to help the waiting servicemen and women receive their free gift boxes of sauce, please donate to Operation Sauce Drop, or shopping to support Operation Sauce Drop. Many thanks!

Zestfully yours,
Gloria
