My brother and sister-in-law gave my husband and I a gift box from Maritime Madness for Christmas. Maritime Madness is a Canadian company, from you guessed it, The Maritimes! They specialize in hot sauces, spicy rubs and spicy peanut brittle.
We got 4 bottles of hot sauces and a bag of Ghost Pepper Peanut Brittle. I went on the website to report prices for y'all, lol. Most of their bottles of hot sauces are $9.95, there are a few that are more expensive. They come in plastic squeeze bottles instead of the usual glass bottles that hot sauces come in.
The Mustard Pickle one is delicious on burgers. With a burn rating of 6 (I think their hottest is 12) it has a bit of a kick but no mouth on fire burn, lol.
The Moonshine Habanero I believe is their original hot sauce. It's quite spicy with a burn rate of 9. It tastes more like a "regular" hot sauce as opposed to the more creative flavours ones. I like the more unusual flavours, but hot sauces purists will enjoy this one.
The Tropical Habanero one is excellent. It has flavours of mango and pineapple, two of my favourite fruits. It's pretty spicy with a burn rate of 10. I don't find it spicer than the Moonshine Habanero though.
The Candied Blueberry one is unusual. It's burn rating is only 4 so it's really mild with just the slightest twinge of spice. It's really sweet. It goes well with cream cheese, goat cheese or brie to add a bit of sweet and spicy to your sandwiches. This one is a bit less versatile, but very unique.
Spicy peanut brittle are $4.95 a bag. The Ghost Pepper one is pretty spicy, but not unbearably so. It's a nice twist on regular peanut brittle. The peanut brittle is good too, it's crunchy and buttery, and doesn't stick to your teeth.
Their online store doesn't carry all their products, as they have in-store exclusives, like beef jerky! Not sure if I'll ever be in Montague, PEI, where their flagship store is, but they also have a store in the Founders Hall and Market in Charlottetown, PEI, and I'm very likely to be there sometime in the future! I'll be sure to look for their in-store exclusives!
So I used to make fun of those people who put hot sauce on everything, but Maritime Madness has turned me into one of those people. I don't know whether to say "Damn you, Maritime Madness!" or "Thank you, Maritime Madness!" Lol. read more
