Hot Sauce Committee Part Three: British Red

Bottom line up front: It’s ok. Albeit bland and adding nothing to the experience.

What does British food taste like? Without looking at the bottle, I would have guessed fried fish or sausages? Nothing readily comes to mind, unless we’re talking Indian cuisine. I mean, the elephants are a dead giveaway.

When I opened the bottle I got a decidedly non-British or Indian smell. Prunes. Can’t explain it. A strong whiff of prunes. As I ate it, I got the feeling I’d been here before. The flavor was oddly reminiscent of the Fiji one prior. I would not be surprised if all these sauces start from the same base with additions that are considered “worldly”.

The bad thing about this sauce is the flavor, or lack-thereof. It was just bland. It was mild heat and mild flavor. I’ll give it points for not detracting from the overall taste of the dish, but it came to the party with nothing.
