I always said I didn't like Relish. I prefer good old Ketchup on my Burgers, and Relish always seemed lumpy and Veggie. I tried this at an indoor BBQ the other week, and oh my god, this is Bl**dy nippy! I was curious and thought I would try a little bit just to see what it was like.

This comes in a plastic squeezy bottle. Not really sure of the price, but by the looks of it and the brand name I would guess this cost around the £1.20 mark, give or take a bit. Found up the Sauces aisle. You can keep these in the fridge when open, but I normally keep my Sauces in the cupboard. The bottle is alright looking. It stands on it's end, so I guess you would get most dregs out of this. The lid is a black plastic one and flat so it stands ok. You can see through the bottle and the label is stuck on the front and back of the bottle. Quite a flat feeling bottle with a bit knobbly shape to it down the side.

When I grabbed for this bottle, I had to sniff it first of all. THis smelt like Hot and SPicy Salsa. You get the scent of ripe, vine Tomatoes, but then you can smell the Jalapeno Peppers mixed through as well. By the look of it it looked Hot, as the Relish was a deep red colour and there was a few black seeds mixed through.

I didn't put too much on, figuring I could always add to it if I liked it.

My first bite of this was that it wasn't too bad. There was a definite tang to this, but after approx 10 seconds I felt like my mouth was on fire. THe Heat semed to come from nowhere and it just left a burning scent in my mouth.

I wouldn't have this again, as it just was a little too hot for me. I don't mind spicy foods, but it is more a hotter Curry I can take, whereas my Grandad loves Peri Peri, Tabasco and Jalapeno Hot tastes.

If you like a bit kick to your food then this will certainly do it for you!
