Ep 348: The Custard Note

from CheapShow · host CheapShow Pod

Things are tough at CheapShow HQ, their rival podcast clone, Thrift Pod, is casting a long shadow over Paul & Eli and they wonder if their beloved economy comedy podcast can survive much longer! In a decision that definitely won’t bite them in the ass later on down the road, they agree to let Richard Brandoff sort the situation out, once and for all. On the off chance he is successful, what will his act of revenge cost the cheap chaps? While they wait for Brandoff to put his plan in action, it’s time to delve into doing what Paul and Eli do best. Whatever that is! This week, they have two weirdly flavoured hot sauces to sample, one of which takes Paul by surprise. There is also a chance to down some booze when they discover a range of Northern Monk ales that tastes like a range of Aunt Bessie desserts… and a roast dinner. It can’t be that bad, right? Do they taste… custardy?

Well, you're not much of a journalist Well here on the source report.

I didn't say that I didn't say that I didn't say that back fucker than I've had around with these I'm What you fucking said to me? I did I'm ever say oh that's our secret mate you said that's I'm bringing it out right now. What horrible shit you're a shit but making that up now. It totally is not I'm holding of it I Recording that What you playing it on an old school dick the phone?

Yeah on a fucking beat master someone get clip someone very kind Please do get in contact with the show and we'll message you and say sorry provided us with two sources from the same manufacturer Um, yes the Wiltshire chili farm now obviously one of these chili no chili production in the UK in recent years Go on a roof Yeah, and a lot of it is in the West Country where Wiltshire is as well Devon Wiltshire Yeah, you know we did that episode where we tasted a whole load of products. Yeah from one farm that was sent to us That was the age again. Yeah, that was the one with the necklace. Oh, that was the Lego hole wounds That was a strange episode for various reasons.

They were another farm in that part of the world. Am I mistaken? So there are two unique hot sources today Oh, they say on the bottle feelers flavor as in we don't fear listen listen when it comes to it now poor although You chickened out and I did half the hot ship. Shut up.

We've both been to nine million scoville land was it nine million? I don't know it was a hot thing about ever eaten. Okay, and a lot hotter than any of these are gonna get near We've been ruined it was hotter than that that scorpion black widow source of God, but right which was about 90,000 About 90,000 scoville's but it was about six million scoville's sorry, but we're gonna do these more on the flavor than they're heat I guess these are interestingly flavored one is called Fright might so effectively it's what a veggie might kind of marmite. I don't know what does it say fright might I think it's a can't read I can't read for shit something sauce with the bottom very bottom line on that It's too.

It's I got me glasses Yeah, we're old it's the end for us in it Anyway, the next one the second one need to read these sources over there. I'll do it Well, you fucking do it But the very bottom line on that thing underneath the frightening it says or fright might what does it say? Marmite based hot sauce there we go and then this is coffee chili sauce. There's nothing on the back It's just that's all it says I don't know what the Loga harbanero loga no longer no longer no here.

Oh, yeah, okay. That's good Carrot Top answer is it in there? I don't see it. Yeah Well, that's good in it.

No carrot Let's sit down so we can hear you lovely voice Having a look having a brief look at the ingredients of these two well Let's just get him in our gov I only prefer to see fewer ingredients and not tomorrow as the first one. It's doing a similar thing to carrot, isn't it? First source will come out tomorrow. What watery now?

Are you ready with a spoon? How I could be you've got them on your side. I'll be administering the source to you. Thank you What's up for you to put the dirty spoon in after?

Okay, all right? I don't want hot sauce all over this room fine. Just be careful to put on the table on the floor Okay, which do you think would be better to start with? I think the vegemite because I think the vegemite leave more than after two I was recommended that the coffee one is good on its own So maybe we do leave that for second because that's the better it would be better than the high point now We know we do mama what the flavor of mama is apart from salty.

It's like it's like Mummy. Yeah, but in fact is yeast glutamate or something and the glutamate is the umami molecule So it's one of the most umami things you can get over there I might and what goes well with chili umami goes well with chili. So I'm thinking this could be a very nice hot sauce Let's find out Naga the ghost pepper a few years ago That was the hottest pepper before they came up with all these new strains such as the Reaper Carolina Reaper and Trinidad scorpion Which is also stuff you've said before I'm just going over it Well, open it up. Oh, you fucking gal drag this out.

You're paying for mad It's a social report. This is my domain. Give me spoon of hops also hit put it in gob-go you Oh, there's a nif naf naf naf naf naf naf naf naf naf naf Give us a nif put the glass down on the floor put it on the floor before the bike crack you one I've got your spoon. I'm doing your spoon put the glass down then you don't need to hold the glass I'm doing you a spoon.

Okay. I want to sniff the bottle. No, no just Not hard. Oh quite watery watch out.

That is enough for you. I think it probably is You got it? Oh, there's a quite a lot there smell that it does smell very marmighty I can't detect any other can you detect any hot sauce flavor? I've dropped a bit on my jeans go in there Sweet sweet my mighty yeah Oh, yeah, oh I Get some milk He's brought me milk.

I'm stopping it now cool you down. It's got a little bit of a kick. I'll admit not as sweetness didn't pop out so much to me I thought it was quite sweet. Oh, I think it was a combination of having too much and it can we slightly down the rug hole?

Okay, fine Okay, Paul, okay get it together. It's all right. It's all right. I don't know what you'd have that with I would just like to say What I thought I didn't get that much sweetness.

It's got a nice balance with it's got a sort of up front and up front almost citrus Chilli, you know, it's a it's almost it's a bright chilly. No, I feel sick now I actually genuinely feel quite sick. Well, listen you haven't been out drinking all three nights in a row So yeah, you don't have to do that. You know your job doesn't require you to drink well.

No, no well Can I talk about this hot sauce for a moment please? You got 30 seconds? No, don't do this countdown thing quite nice balance between the bright chili flavor and the marmite flavor with a little bit Sweetness in the mid-palette only seconds and you said I don't know what you'd like that with I'll tell you I think it has got quite the thing with that sauce not bad sauce I say it has got quite a 10 seconds quite a narrow use case which would be something like black and chicken barbecue chicken, you know Do you agree with that? Yes, maybe a nice kind of char grilled chicken.

You can't know what about just throw it out there nice sausage I could definitely put that on a sausage. Yes. Yeah, like a nice What's that big Cumberland one a Cumberland sausage? Definitely that umami from the marmite is gonna give a depth to a flake yeah, don't you think quite hot to what for you?

No, no, I just I had too much and it was a mistake Okay, so we move on to the next sauce, please do I am so in the mood for it now. I'll give you a smaller spoon of this one Okay, this is the coffee. I'll do you know I'll deliver my own case Just trying to have fun with my friend whilst we make a podcast all right, okay, all right have some fun I am having fun kind of way or the knife now on this the smell of the coffee chili is much more upfront Oh, I'm not getting much coffee at all. He's giving it a shake shake the bottle awake the drink They're both very similar color these sources in fact deep deep brown rich brown.

They're like brown sauce goggy dirt brown This has got more vinegar on the nose. It really does. Wow. It really does is it very vinegary This coffee one has a lot more vinegar on the nose.

I feel like it's gonna be less well balanced now coffee Isn't as flavor I would think would go with chili. Oh, I guess I like coffee on food. I can't eat one coffee cake No, you don't know not really know. I love coffee cake.

I like coffee chocolate I like a mocha chocolate. Yeah, let's see now. Let's see. That's a lot sweeter.

It is sweet. I'm not getting much coffee any at all Tye bit tiny wisps. It's not bad sauce. I'd say it's like a very hot sweet chili sauce sort of thing Yes, it is sweet in a way any coffee no, but it's sweet in a way that isn't pleasant.

It's just it's just sweet pretty hot as well Yeah, oh, maybe then the first one. I mean, I don't know I a lot less than that this time I just wanted to flavor profile didn't want to get a punch in the throat again. Not as interesting I would actually say maybe I prefer the veggie mighty I might want both of them. I might want but both of them might work with burgers more I couldn't taste the coffee to be honest.

Perhaps it was the wrong way around we did it Well, my mom might want definitely had some uses Oh, I have a problem genuinely like if we've had it the other way round We might have had a poor experience with the mom might want we don't know but there's a good possibility of that pool so what I will do Because I'm dedicated to this segment of the show. Yeah, it's take some of this ever later They just buy itself a coffee one. Will you report on it? Of course can we stop now?

I feel really we're gonna have a break. I'll be for quite a second break To me you didn't you did this to me. This is how you kill me in it This is how we like gets is this is how we like takes the crown from the king This is it in it. This is your move at to broot a s2 shut up in for me in for me all together Oh I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
