This is one of the most appealing "gift hampers" I have come across in ages! Walking around Fieldays, I saw so many items, but these not only caught my eye through heavy rain, but made me detour from getting to a meeting so I could check them out.

In this cute wooden carry crate you get 3 sauces, a salad dressing and a mustard - everything you need in the way of sauces for a Summer BBQ really. Starting with the most mild - the salad dressing. Tangy and rich, full of flavour, I found it wasn't too oily but did have a somewhat buttery aftertaste which was quite pleasant, though a little strange on a salad. Upon opnening the bottle I was hit with a powerful vinegar smell, but that dissipated quickly leaving a nice herby smell instead.

The Bull's Blood tomato sauce was next, with a rich red tomato base and a hint of spice. I found this really nice on a ham & cheese stuffed beef schnitzel, and was pleased to note that it also went really well in mashed kumara, and replacing regular tomato sauce in a savoury mince dish I make regularly. I am not sure it would push the classic Wattie's sauce aside, but it would stand up for itself in a show-down against the Tui-mato sauce.

The Worster - or Worcestershire to the Brits - was quite potent, with a decent bite to it and a rich body of flavours. This was really tasty on freshly grilled ham steaks, and made a wonderful base for a rich gravy with fried onion and capsicum for a bangers-&-mash meal recently. I was actually really impressed at how versatile it was, and I only wish the bottle was bigger, because this one is now all gone!

The Bull's Eye Chilli Sauce really was vicious - in a good way. Rich, deep spice flavours that reached back up from your tummy and tried to pull your tastebuds down for a second round. I personally didn't notice any "Pacific Rim" symptoms, but with my past track record with hot sauces in my Uni days, that's no indication of how this may affect 'normal' people. ^;) If you like it spicy, but not face-meltingly hot, then this is a sauce you will want to try at least once.

Finally, the most versatile of them all... the Calf Custard mustard. I have used this in almost every potato mash I have done in the last 3 weeks, as well as in savoury mince dishes, and even in a cheese sauce to help mask the Brussel Sprout flavour my kids so dislike. To have even Young Mr Fussy ask for seconds of the dish - Brussel Sprouts and Kale lightly fried in garlic butter, then thrown in a shallow casserole dish and covered with cheese & mustard white sauce before grilling it for a while - was astounding. He hates veges, *LOATHES* greens, and really has no place in his stomach for mustard... so I was left with my jaw on the floor. What a testament for this mustard!

Overall, though the price for this pack is out of my "regular groceries" budget, if I saw it again at a show or farmer's market, I would snap one up if I had the cash on me!
