Saucy!
I’ve been a bit remiss in my posting lately, but it’s given me some time to try things here and there. One of those things is Country Bob’s Original All Purpose Sauce.
I admit, I’d never heard of it. So, I was a bit skeptical when I got an email from a Bob’s rep offering to send me a free sample. And I struggled with wondering what would happen to my integrity if I got something for free in exchange for a review. But, hey, I’m an honest gal, and hopefully you readers know it as long as I tell you how this came about. So, finally, I thought “What the heck?”, and said “okay.”
Then the box came in the mail. Not one, but two bottles of sauce with a simple red, white, blue and yellow label. A windfall!
If you know me, you know I’m a saucy sort. I love Worcesteshire sauce, and A-1 steak sauce, and BBQ sauces of all sorts (especially homemade). Especially on fries.
So, this Bob’s stuff had competition, and I was so certain it wouldn’t really stack up that I didn’t even try it. At first. Then I began to feel badly that the company had mailed me two free bottles, so I poured a little into a spoon. (I’m a big believer of trying new products unadulterated and on their own before using them with something else.) And you know what? My preconceptions were entirely wrong.
This stuff is everything I love: spicy and sweet, with some (but not too much) heat. I’ve since eaten it on fries, vegetables, and, yes, meat. It’s worked really well with them all. An all natural recipe, it reminds me a bit of my dad’s memorable concoctions from my youth.
Not sure where I can buy it around these parts, but I do know they are on-line. I’ll hoard my two bottles as long as I can, and then I guess I’ll have to buy my new stock. But that’s okay, ’cause it’s worth it. I have to admit the “Christ is our CEO” slogan on the bottle took me aback, as I’m not used to seeing products tout their beliefs and I get a little concerned since I know too many supposed Christians who are less the golden-rule sorts and more the “I-abhor-everyone-who-doesn’t-belong-to-my-belief-system” sorts. If I find out that the latter rules here, I may have to discontinue eating their yummy sauce.
Thank you, blog, for leading me to something new!
