Adventure is the spice of life. And our own Humdingers
piri-piri sauce is a spicy adventure for sure.
The tiny piri-piri chili pepper (Swahili for pepper-pepper)
grows wild in Southern Africa. Almost since the beginning
of time, locals have harvested it and mixed it with herbs and
natural oils to make delicious sauces, marinades and bastes
for grilled fish and chicken. Boatloads of hungry Portuguese
explorers dropped in sometime in the 1590’s and immediately
fell in love with this new flavor. So much so that they didn’t
bother going home. And, of course, piri-piri’s rumored
aphrodisiac qualities helped ensure the new colonies thrived.
The unique and unforgettable flavor of piri-piri lives on here
at Humdinger's as does that Old World charm. You don’t
have to travel the globe to get a taste of adventure.
You can get it right here.
