We won two awards

February 4th, 2015

We like awards!

Its always nice to hear your boss say ‘good job’ or ‘well done’, but when you run your own business, who’s gives you that little boost?

Well, the bank balance obviously lets you know, so do positive comments, orders and the like. There are always competitons to enter, with judges and experts and the like, all voting for thier favourites, and great, if you get lucky and win something, its nice to shout about.

However, the BEST type of award is the one the public vote on, yes, the final customer, the one competiton you didnt enter, people who actually buy what you are selling, and take the time to vote for you. So to EVERYONE who voted for us in the ‘Peoples Choice Awards’ organised by the Clifton Chilli Club, THANK YOU- we won TWO.

Best UK Chilli Confectionery – For our ghost chilli chocolate range

Best UK Produced Hot Sauce – For our ‘Evil One’ sauce

Until the next time….The Reaper

The MargaReaper

June 7th, 2014

Our recent trip to Germany for the 1st BBQ and Chilli Festival was a superb success, not only did we completely sell out of every product but we met some new friends. Main feature on the festival to follow.

One of those friends was Jon O Reillly from Ireland, now living and working in Berlin. He loves his chilli and is starting his new company Crazy Bastard (@bastardsauce on twitter). Jon also works as a cocktail bar man, and when I mentioned how last year at Fiery Foods UK a young lady made @Jamopepper and I frozen Margherita cocktails with a touch of Raging Goblin Jalapeño and lime extract, he took a bottle back to Berlin with him. Little did I know he actually renames the cocktail the Margareaper! And popped them on his menu and started selling them! Superb work-here is the recipe..

We grill this recipe more often than any other summertime recipe, and that alone has made my husband the master of his domain: salmon cooked on the grill. It turns out that if you like salmon sushi, you are more likely to be in the mood when the date is over, which is a classic date night tradition. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that aid in the maintenance of the body’s hormone production, which includes the production of sex hormones, which directly affect our libido. Even better, salmon’s increased levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that promotes pleasure, have been linked to more intense orgasms which you can also get with this guide on remote-control vibrators.

Product showcase:Incinerator Rapeseed Oil

April 29th, 2014

It’s been crazy here at Grim Reaper, so I apologise for the lack of decent blog material. I am trying to get a regular blog together but with making/developing products it’s not always easy to sit and write-the junior reapers also need attention 😉

Ok- thought I’d focus on Incinerator today, seeing as right now the rapeseed oil is being smoked with oak discs in the Bradley smoker.

The rapeseed for our 3 oils is grown/cultivated/ stored/single pressed/filtered/ filtered again and bottled in Wilstone on the Mead farm near Tring in Hertfordshire. The unit is impressive and We have now been working with Simon Mead for over 2 years. The benefits of rapeseed oil are well know with around 6% saturated fat compared to other oils, meaning that along with tasting great, it’s also the best one for you. The rapeseed is cold pressed and only once, the remainder of the seeds once pressed go to the cows so nothing is wasted.

Incinerator is the hottest of the 3 oils we produce, I think the smokiness gives it depth of flavour and embraces the heat.

Unlike other chilli oils, we don’t use smoked chillies to achieve a smokey flavour, but the oil itself is smoked, and for 48 hours. Those with a smoker will know how many discs we burn in that time! We chose oak smoked as it lends itself far better than the other flavours available.

Once smoked, it is then refiltered and extract is added then bottled! Simple as that. The photos are of the old double freezer converted to allow deep trays for the smoking process. If you want a bottle of Incinerator they are £4.95 on our website get yours here

Aborted

March 2nd, 2014

Not the first time we are being associated with a Metal Group, late 2012 it was Heaven’s Basement, where we did the Official Hot Sauce for the Fire Fire CD release and met the guys (with Darth Naga) at the Camden Barfly for a gig.

Last year, in Eindhoven, we met some crazy dudes who approached us at the stall and loved the sauces. Well, those crazy dudes were in fact Aborted, and you HAVE to get their next CD when it comes out in April.

I digress…so, what does this mean? Well, we are proud to say we are sponsoring them on tour, so in the dressing rooms, Evil One will be flowing, and maybe chocolates pre gig for that energy they display in stage!

Look out for competitions throughout 2014 to win CD’s and Grim Reaper goodies, and also follow them on Twitter @abortedmetal> Check out their website too http://www.goremageddon.be
