Deliciousness ensues.

Well, I’m trying to cook up some other kind of masterpiece, and here is my attempt at Easter dinner.

I’ve been trying to write this for a while, and I’ve been given more reason to now.  A few weeks ago, Amy had picked us up some of the Wazoo Sauce (good inside a burger) and  the near and dear to my heart, Bacon Brittle; a delightful concoction of smokey bacon in a sweet morsel of caramel colored amazingness.

Up until this afternoon, I could only rave about the Bacon Brittle that comes from Dr. Gonzo’s Emporium, located at 120 Main St. in Worcester, MA.  On a normal day like today, I’d be at work, constructing castles for the McMansionists of the area… but today I dropped off a computer monitor at Dr. Gonzo’s Uncommon Condiments Emporium.

I came to realize how special this place really is.  So when I got inside, Dr. Gonzo himself allowed me to test out his world famous Mastodon Jerky.  Claiming it came from a frozen Mastodon found enslaved in ice somewhere near Siberia, I was already intrigued.  It had a mellow, long lasting spice to which made me buy a few more pieces for the road.  With a little more tasting, from various reaches of the Gonzo-verse…I tried out the  Scotch Bonnet Stew, to which I got the intel on how it was actually created:

Scotch Bonnet Stew is a hot pepper relish that should not be trifled with. This mash is specially brewed for us by a clan of Single Malt sipping Scottish crossdressing Highlanders, wearing nothing but kilts and Easter bonnets (now there’s a visual that’s going to be hard to shake). Do not let the initial burst of flavor and patent pending 45 second heat delay lull you into a false sense of security, this condiment will take you for a ride. Great to cook with or straight from the jar. Enjoy but be careful, the “Good Doctor”

As advertised, quite good.  A few other tastings aside, I assure you, you want to try some of this stuff out, this gives cheese and crackers a whole new kick.  Check out his store, either online, or in person. You might even try the gummi bites (something I also bought) covered in cayenne pepper. Sounds weird, but its awfully tasty.

Dr. Gonzo has also created a Viral movie short, based on the failed creations of the ‘peppermash’…  it’s worth a watch.

Sorry for the link to a huge image, but this is just so full of failure, I figured i’d post up.  Guess I’m just not falling for it.  Windows won’t be scanning anything, as you see, I’m on a mac.
