Fire Under Celtic Kilt Continues to Hit The Shelves Everywhere!

The most recent Mix Foods condiment release – Fire Under Celtic Kilt – is hitting hot sauce store shelves everywhere. Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day 2015! Along with this amazing blend of Ghost Pepper & Habanero comes an interesting “twist”. The bottle is adorned with a Smokin’ Hot Irish girl who is wearing a kilt — which is on the “Outside” of the bottle. The kilt is, let’s say, “liftable”. Underneath is a St. Patty’s Day surprise for everyone which won’t just be for the month of March. It will continue to be an attraction all through the year. You’ll have to get yourself a bottle to find out the rest.
Fire Under Celtic Kilt can be found on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SHSAVYW and probably a hot sauce store near you.
New Irish Cookbook – My Irish Table Cathal Armstrong

A new Irish Cookbook was released last month written by Cathal Armstrong and David Hagedorn. I came across it reading an interview the author Armstong gave to Reuters’ Richard Leong. Dublin-born Cathal Armstrong a celebrated chef of several Washington D.C. area restaurants responds to the following question:
“Q: What is your “go to” ingredient at home?
A: Sriracha sauce” I love it! The entire interview is linked at the bottom.
We’re are happy to hear spicy condiments are working their way into Irish fare more and more. I’m not sure if there are any spicy recipes in the book but we will be sending some complimentary McCoy’s Thick Hot Irish Sauce to one of their restaurants. Also, we will be buying the book and hope you do too. It’s on Amazon here
