Sukhi's Indian Street Wraps

I really enjoy the Chicken Tikka Masala while mrs. dave likes the Veggie Samosa. Both have good spice and are easy to eat on the go. The Chicken Vindaloo wrap was somewhat bland. These are a staple in our freezer.

GRADE: A. Give them a try!

what store would one acquire those from?

available in-store at diarrhea emporium or online at diarrhea emporium.com

Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil



Review: Is it Italian? You bet your ass. Should you cook basically everything you eat with it? Maybe half. Chicken? Of course. Beef? Prolly not. Should you worry about all the fat in it? No. Should you use way more than people think is normal? Yes.

Those are only edible with saltine crackers. I'd give them a 1 out of 5 if you are eating them plain. 3 sounds about right with crackers, though.

Costco Brand Chicken Breast



Chicken Breasts are a hot commodity these days. They are harvested from a rare mammal which can only be found in the high-mountain arid plains of Tibet. By themselves they taste like almost nothing, but will give you huge muscles. If you add them to another dish, they will taste like nothing plus whatever that dish tastes like.

Caribean Cowboy On Fire! BBQ Sauce

I usually love spicy things. I guess I was used to the spicy BBQ sauces from the big names like Gates Extra Hot, etc. being just the right spiciness. So I got the hottest level of this one to try out. NO! TOO HOT! Turns out they have Bhut Jolokia chiles in this. Probably not very much of them but enough. It burns my entire mouth off every time I eat it. I'm about half way through the stuff and it always starts out good and about 2 minutes into chowing down I can't take it anymore.

GRADE: C. Probably great for those that can "take the heat" but was a bit hot for me.

My former employer bottles this. It's an Oleoresin Capsicum extract that makes it so hot. About a year ago the Caribbean Cowboy called up saying his On Fire wasn't spicy enough. So I had him come in to taste test different levels of spice (cause there was no rough ridin' way I was going to). He chose the one I maxed out with the extract. There is 22 fl oz of extract in a 52 gallon batch, while the hot only has 12 fl oz. It was ridiculous

I talk about these quite a bit on this blog, but i would be remiss if i didn't bring it up in this thread.  Wow.  If you want a one way ticket to tijuana (Mexico), then go to your local grocer and pickup a pack of these babies and pop them in the microwave for 2 minutes and 15 seconds.  Don't forget your sunscreen because where you're going is HOT. 

Now get to the store fast!  Andale andale!

Tastes like a cookie! Delicious. 4.5 Girl Scout cookies /5

You have to review the crackers used as well. They must be pretty awesome to bring 1 up to a 3.
