Review - Cajun Heat Liquid Napalm
Manufactured for:
Cajun Heat
Stephens City, VA, 22655
Ingredients: If you knew, you wouldn't eat it. (That's what it says on the bottle)
Vinegar, habanero peppers, cajun spices.
This is one of my at work sauces so I will try and get a pic in for it. Also going to be giving these sauces an ongoing long term review over a few weeks and differenct meals to see if it has the repeat buyer factor.
I had this sauce sitting around for awhile, but being overwhelemd with a plethora of sauces already opened I had to keep it on the backburner for a bit.
The label is pretty cool. Colourful and busy and it actually makes the sauce inside look really appealing. Sight alone it is a deep red\brownish hue with flecks of seeds and spices.
The aroma is very pleasant with a nice smoky flavour behind vinegar and I although it didn't list what the spices were I am pretty sure I could detect cumin.
The viscosity is just right in the pour lending itself to even distribution on sandwiches and a controlled dispense over soups and chili.
All sounds good so for. But for all these great points I find that the sauce it's character in food. It doesn't taste bad by any means, it just doesn't take food to the next level. It plays it safe and is happy to be there. Also, there is not too much of a heat factor. Calling itself Liquid Napalm is pretty strong and having a GI on fire for the label.....well.......
Going to be keep trying this out on few more meals. Maybe I just haven't found the right combination yet.
Ok - here is an update. This stuff is stellar on Asian food. Sure it says Cajun Heat but wow. Last week I had some General Tao Chicken and today I just finished some Black Bean Beef. I don't know what was going on with the other foods (chili etc) but the flavour and heat it added to these dishes was incredible.
There isn't anything listed on the ingredients to say it can match up with Asian dishes but it just works. And works incredibly well at that. If you have a bottle of this at home do yourself a favour and give a go in a stir fry or a noodle dish! Maybe Cajun Heat does have the ancient chinese secret.

Skinless,
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy my sauce as much as others. Have you tried my Voodoo Ash yet? I sent a bottle of Voodoo Ash and Liquid Napalm for each reviewer back in June. Each won in the Scovies this year. not a bad start for a new guy.

Ha - actually I was about to update the long term review. I had some General Tao chicken the other day and Liquid Napalm took it to a new level. Even though it is 'Cajun Sauce' it shined with the chicken and rice. I put the heat level at the high end of medium and I definately felt getting through the meal.
The heat isn't the strong intense sting but the smouldering kind that sits there and fills up all the right places. Not just a throat punch or a fat lip zing.
I have half a bottle to go and I am looking forward to its next application.
Voodoo Ash is a staple for anything that needs some fire sprinkled on it. Stay tuned for the review in the next little while.

Skinless,
When I first started making hot sauce for my own consumption I used it mainly as a salsa. I'd grill some chicken and just top it off with some sauce. Now, I use it as a base to my cooking. What I love to use it is as an additive for dips. My girlfriend makes a killer spinach & artichoke dip that Liquid Napalm just sets it off. I use my Voodoo Ash as a one stop season for most of my meals. I rarely use anything else unless I'm looking for a completely different flavor.
