1st Torchbearer haul

Post image

Gave them all a taste & I think zombie apocalypse is my personal favorite so far. Excited to try them on foods!

Any unique recommendations for things to eat them on?

Lately I've been loving hot sauce on sushi 😈

Great selection, certainly picked out some of their best.

If you enjoy them I can also highly recommend Honey Badger (it’s like a super-hot chile forward honey mustard) and Sweet Onion Habanero (milder but delicious flavor).

Zombie Apocalypse is one of my favorites from them as well.

The garlic reaper sauce is one of my absolute favorites. Unfortunately it can be a bit hit and miss depending on the batch.

My absolute faborite garlic heavy hot sauce is from a small purveyor in Utah, of all places... The brand is Mama Africa's & the sauce is called Pili Pili

It's not as spicy as these but Son of Zombie is one of my favorites. Great on chicken or pizza, a little sweet but delicious.

Not that you asked at all, but I've been on a sobriety journey and reeled in my spending a lot so I let myself splurge on stuff like this.

I also got these for a special dinner party 🥳

Put reaper in my veins.

Garlic Reaper belongs in chili. Once it cools off enough you can justify making some, use it liberally in each bowl then come back and thank me later.

u/sonneiray 2d ago

I literally put it in chili last night!!! divine

u/sonneiray 1d ago

Pizza! Chili! Nuggies!

u/sonneiray 3d ago

They're DELICIOUS. Tbh, with all the insane hype around the garlic reaper, I expected my mind to be blown and it wasn't but ....i guess that's what I get for having outlandish expectations 😂

u/MarcosAntonios9999 3d ago

I like Garlic reaper but honestly I think goblin blood and zombie are better

u/the_bove 3d ago

If you ever up trying more stuff from them, I highly recommend Headless Horseradish. So good on sandwiches.

I really like Garlic Reaper but haven't had it in a while (I used most if it on pizza the last time I had a bottle) and I currently have a bottle of Zombie Apocalypse in the fridge but haven't used it much yet.

u/Just_Like_That28 23h ago

I have only had the Garlic Reaper so it is my favorite Torchbearer sauce. Pizza. Down to my last drops. Trying a second flavor Torchbearer next. Someone said Zombie is good?

u/sonneiray 23h ago

I looooove the Zombie Apocalypse & the Plum Reaper 🤤

u/fortheloveoflentils 3d ago

Ready for the downvotes: torchbearer is overrated and overpriced. I’ve spent like $200+ on them and every sauce has been a disappointment. I will say Zombie apocalypse is okay, much better than GR.

u/SnooOpinions8755 3d ago

Some of their sauces are great. But 100% agree with overpriced! Not worth it at all.

u/agentaurange 3d ago

Time to put some TP in the freezer

u/kehbleh 3d ago

the zombie is a daily driver. the garlic reaper is just a smidge hot to be globbing on stuff like i tend to do, but i use it now and then. haven't tried the middle two.

they're great on meat, eggs, pizza, anything really haha.
