Snaffling Pig Colman’s Pork Crackling (@SnafflingPigCo) By @SpectreUK


Previously I have tried Snaffling Pig Salt and Vinegar Pork Crackling, and also tasted their super hot Pig of Doom chilli pork crackling. I must say I could happily eat the Salt and Vinegar flavour every day. The Pig of Doom were so hot I almost blew a gasket biting into them! These new Snaffling Pig Colman’s Pork Crackling seemed like a decent compromise. I have Colman’s English Mustard on my sandwiches almost everyday. I’ve never found a mustard I like more. So my favourite pork crackling laced with Colman’s English Mustard sounded like a gift from heaven - literally a gift as Snaffling Pig very kindly sent me these to try.

After a lengthy session at the gym I popped open a bottle of lager and then popped open the huge 300g jar. There was a decent porkish smell form the yellowish pork crackling jammed into the huge jar. On first taste these double cooked pork crackling melted in my mouth after a little encouragement from my old gnashers. Biting into the salted pork crackling there is an unmistakable mustard burn from the Colman’s, which is light and not overpowering, but definitely there. As I ate more and more the mustard burn built tickling my nose hairs. Yet don’t be put off if you don’t normally like mustard, as the flavour never distracts from the salty pork crackling. Only enhancing it, nibbling and tickling the senses as I munched more and more. Mmmm… Yum!

Information on the jar;

Extra Hot Jalapeno Mustard (Sainsbury’s) [By @SpectreUK]



When Cinabar mentioned “Hot Beaver” to me, this is not what I had in mind. Barbequed furry dam making rodent anyone? Beaver Brand produced this Extra Hot Jalapeno Mustard. They were established in 1929 in the USA, and are a family owned company who have been making condiments for three generations. This rather angry pink mustard has red and green chilli flecks running through it. The ingredients told me that the peppers included in this fiery mustard were cayenne, red jalapeno, green jalapeno, red chilli, and ancho. I squeezed out a fairly large dollop of this pink mustard, which sat rather menacingly staring back at me next to my chips. I scooped a little onto my knife for a first taste…

There was an initial tasty condiment flavour of relish followed by a chilli bomb blast that probably would have knocked me off my feet if I hadn’t already have been seated. I think steam actually came out of my ears! This tasty Jalapeno Mustard is definitely extra hot. No lie there. It went perfectly with my chips and made me glad to have mayonnaise with my fishcakes to cool my palate. The vegetables on my plate were also a blessing so I mixed between the angry pink blob and my chips to the veggies, to the hot pink blobbed chips to fishcakes and mayonnaise to… you get the idea. Very tasty, very hot… okay; Extra Hot Beaver!
