Horror & Hot Sauce [003]

• 

Today we try: Fury Hot Sauce's Al Pastor & Buffalo Dill and Charred Lime. We're going a little retro today, firing up the N64 and playing Doom + Quake 2!

Doom 64, one of my favourite games for the N64, a lot heavier on horror than the originals. Still makes me a little motion sick but every now and then it's worth it. Taking place in the aftermath of Doom II, a powerful entity known as the Mother Demon revives the dead, forcing us back into chaos. From the Unholy Temple to Outpost Omega, the game was the hardest yet with great puzzle solving and gore. Quake II isn't a proper sequel. We fight the Strogg, different factions and creatures than in the original Quake. You play through different military complexes and zones, actively dismantling the aliens and their headquarters. It's a totally different feel but worked amazingly well in the time period of 007, Perfect Dark, Doom, Duke etc...

______________ The Buffalo Dill sauce is alright but there's something really sharp in it. It's almost cilantro-y but... not. I can't really put my finger on which ingredient it is but IMO it limits how you can use the sauce. It's marketed as a wing sauce anyway so as long as you stick to something like that, it can pop in and out of the rotation as something different and not much heat. Fury's Al Pastor is significantly better. This sauce is a little hotter but with a greater mix of flavours. We mainly tried it on Mexican style foods and it was awesome on all of it. For people who don't love cilantro it doesn't overpower which is nice, and if you're into citrus heavy rather than vinegar, this one fits the bill.

As for the Buffalo Dill, we're giving it:
