About our flavours
Feartie
Feartie - Scottish slang for someone who's afraid to do something. Like a scaredy-cat. eg 'Get on and do it, and stop being a big feartie.'
This is our fruity, barbecuey, mild sauce, with just a hint of mild chilli warmth. It's vegan, super-tasty with roasted veg, on a sandwich, with toasted cheese, on a roll with sausage, black pudding or haggis, or with a pie. A great accompaniment for barbecues too. You can also add a dollop to mayo to pep up your slaw or dressing.
Pelter
(normally used in the plural) Strong criticism or abuse. eg ‘I was tryin’ to be helpful. Why you giving me pelters for it?’
This is the mild, sweet, curryish sauce. Vegetarian (contains honey) and versatile.
It's an awesome partner for salmon, smoked fish, white fish, fish pie, fish and chips, etc.
Bratwurst, curried sauerkraut and Pelter is simply a marriage made in heaven.
Also amazing with chicken, and great in a sandwich with apple and brie too.
Skelper
A skelp is a hit, or a slap. So, the Skelper gives you a little slap of heat, along with its flavour.
This is our apple, garlic and herb sauce. It's got a mild-medium kick, and is a great accompaniment for pork, sausages, chicken and cheeses. It's also vegetarian (contains honey).
If you're feeling adventurous, try rubbing some over a whole belly of pork and leaving it to marinate for a few hours in the fridge before adding a little mozzarella and tarragon, then rolling it into a porchetta, skewering or tying it to hold its shape, and baking it in the oven.
Or, just enjoy with sausages or add to a pork casserole or apple sauce!
Stoater
Stoater - something fantastic. 'Your dog's awffy cute and clever - she's a wee stoater.'
This is the super-fruity one. A peach, onion and garlic base, with hints of cherry, raspberry and a little top note of orange. It's also vegetarian (contains honey).
Originally conceived as the 'gamey' sauce, it's so much more versatile than that. Great with lamb, and game, for sure, but also amazing with a pie, pastie or sausage roll, and a lovely accompaniment for cheeses too.
If you like a peppercorn sauce with your steak, add a spoonful of Stoater to add more flavour and help to just cut through the richness of the cream a little too.
Also great for marinating pork, or adding to slow cooked or barbecued meats.
Bampot
A great Scots word that means a foolish or obnoxious person. 'I think they heard you the first time, ya daft bampot!'
This is the one that started it all. A Caribbean-style fruity sauce with medium heat. It's got a peach and mango base with honey, treacle and spices, along with chipotle and habanero chillis, but it's not crazy-hot.
Customer comments:
'I don't even do hot sauce, but that's lovely.'
'I've got about 50 bottles of sauces in my cupboard, and that's my go-to sauce. Love it.'
Really versatile - have it with chicken, bacon, banana (bacon and mashed banana on toast with Bampot is awesome - try it!), burgers, sausages, drizzle over pizza, add some to mayo for slaw, add to your burrito, etc etc. It's just deliciously fruity/smoky/sweet and a perfect sauce for the barbecue too.
Roaster
Another Scots slang word for someone who's a bit crazy or daft. 'What's he doing swimming in that loch in January? He's a total roaster!'
Our current hottest sauce, but won't blow your head off. It's got a healthy chilli kick, but it also has waves of smoky, sweet flavour. It's a tomato and roasted pepper base, with some sweetness and herbs. It's vegan too.
Add some to your toasted cheese, whack some in your burrito, drizzle flavour bombs on pizza, pop a little spoonful in a glass of tomato juice (or a Bloody Mary), or use it to just add a little peppery chilli kick wherever you like.
