    5 Stars A Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love...and NO ELVIS 17/04/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Hot as Hades, but with a beautiful flavour

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None...unless you're a foolish Customs officer or you really don't like chillies

    I recently wrote an op straight from my heart…or is that heartburn…about chillies, and offered you Ciao types my recipe for chilli con carne. At least one person has tried the recipe already, and hasn’t as yet been spotted round Sleevie Towers wielding an axe or a writ. Supposing that he’s still alive, and isn’t lying like some burnt out husk of the tall figure he formerly was…laid low by chilli poisoning…I have to suppose that his efforts were a success. I thought it only right to give credit where it’s due in respect of this recipe. Oh, make no mistake…it’s an original Sleevie version of ... more

    4 Stars Encona Cajun Hot Pepper Sauce 09/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A powerful sauce

    Disadvantages Disadvantages small bottle

    There are 7 different flavours available in the Encona World of Sauces. They are Tropical Hot Pepper Sauce, Creole Hot Pepper Sauce, Jamaican Jerk Sauce, Original Hot Pepper Sauce, Smooth Hot Pepper Sauce, Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, Cajun Hot Pepper Sauce. I shall be writing this review on the later of these, Cajun Hot Pepper Sauce. I have had this sauce for some time and only use a splash now and again. I mainly use it on Spaghetti Bolognaise and Chilli Con Carni, but have also found it enjoyable as a barbeque sauce and to splash on my salad. I also use this on juicy sweaty doner kebabs instead ... more

    5 Stars Aaaaaaargh!!!! Where's the water? 04/07/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's exactly what it says on the bottle, HOT

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be a pain (literally) if you use too much, slightly vinegary aftertaste.

    I was one of those kids who hated anything spicy. Even piccalilly (which you can't really call spicy) was something I detested. Then when I was 13 I went to a friend's house for lunch and his mum had made a curry. In the interests of being polite and generally keeping a harmonious relationship between our families I decided to grin and bare it. After that, there was no turning back. I LOVE spicy food. From lame stuff that merely tickles your tongue, to full blown explosively hot stuff - I love it all. Sadly getting anything hot enough is like mission impossible. The food manufacturers seem to ... more

    5 Stars Owwwwwww! How much did you put in? 20/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Incredibly hot and tangy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages overpowering at large quantities

    Absolute Genius! By far the best 'hot' condiment (the only, in my opinion) ever to hit the shelves! To spice loving novices, be careful...dip your finger in for a small taster before squirting this stuff all over ya plate like it was HP! This stuff is exactly what it says on the label...HOT! You've been warned! For people like me who actually go through an entire bottle every fortnight...do as you please! A fiery orange puree of Scotch Bonnet peppers with a very tart vinegar base makes my mouth water just typing this and will yours when you pick it up from your shelf and open the lid. My ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Feeling hot hot hot!! and u only need to use a little amount

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None, unless you hote hot sauces!

    Chillis, cant get enough of them…so when I saw this bottle of sauce on the shelf of my local supermarket, I thought Ive got to try that! yself and my boyfriend absolutely love hot and spicy foods, and if anything isn’t spicy, then we tend to MAKE IT spicy!! The first time we used this pepper sauce was in a chicken stir fry, we used just under a teaspoon full and cor blimey govnor, it blew our mouths off!! It was really really and spicy, not that im complaining, we thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the way you only need to use a little of it to taste the benefits. This sauce is produced in the ... more

    5 Stars This is The Stuff, but not with Square Sausages 22/03/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It is The Buisness

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not for Chilli Beginers

    Quite simply the best chilli sauce on the market. This is a Jamaican (though bottled in the UK) medium hot sauce made with scotch bonnet peppers (the little shrivelled up evil ones). It has a fairly runny texture and it has seeds in it, which adds to the heat, woo hoo. Whereas Tabasco sauce is really vinegar with chilli added to heat it up this is a proper chilli sauce. The flavour is quite rich despite the temperature of the sauce and it compliments a great deal off foods add drops of it to your pizza base sauce and it brings it alive, stir fried with chicken and it is truly amazing, or with ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fiery, natural ingredients

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too hot for those with low chili toleration

    I first encountered Encona many years ago when living in a part of London with a large West Indian community. It quickly became a staple. There are many imitators with flashier marketing campaigns but this one is the real McCoy. Made from Scotch bonnet and habanero peppers, in the same way it has been for 40 years, Encona has a kick which is unique. But it's not for the faint-hearted. You need to be a serious chili addict to appreciate its strengths. Which are many. Encona enhances everything from cheese on toast to baked potatoes. If you're on a diet, it adds taste and minimal calories to ... more

    3 Stars Quick review of Encona Hot Pepper Sauce by Level 1 cjabingham1973 17/11/2007
    Too much salt as always with anything spicy that is manufactured. Just buy some fresh chillies and use these with some distilled malt vinegar which is about 40p for 500ml at Asda or Morrisons or Tesco.

    3 Stars Quick review of Encona Hot Pepper Sauce by Level 1 Chrisstar 08/02/2008
    I tried this hot pepper sauce after my girlfiend bought some home. It was very disappointing - way to acidic and completely drowned out the taste of the food. Hot Pepper sauce is supposed to smell great and add heat and spice to the food. This just added heat and acid and smelt plain.
