Chilis is our love and our passion:

 Located in London the heartbeat of Europe, Love Chilis is dedicated to creating the world’s most exquisitely tasting  Chilli Pepper Sauce “JAB JAB 1492” by The House of Pierre-Davis.

JAB JAB originates from the Trinidadian French Creole Patois dialect meaning Devil, a historical Trinidad Carnival character, which uniquely decribes one of it’s many  characteristics ‘Devilishly Hot’.  The year 1492 is when Christopher Columbus discovers the West Indies and encounters the indigenous Amerindians, Arawak, Taino and Carib Indians using Chilis throughout their culture and cuisine, alluding to his journal entry comment “the people won’t eat without it”, and  subsequently introduces it to the Old World.

If there is one place in the world of chilis that strikes cords of reverence in the hearts of chili lovers the world over, it is the very infectious twin islands of Trinidad & Tobago situated  in the Lesser Antillies in the Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela. These little islands have been producing some of the world’s finest chilli peppers for hundreds of years. Ever since I started making chilli pepper sauce, I have wanted to share this magical and incredibly flavorful  pepper sauce with the world.

We source the very finest Trindadian Chilis and ingredients that meet our exacting standards. Through careful refinement, blending and LOVE and attention, we seek not to be the biggest Chili Pepper Sauce company, simply to make the very best tasting Chili Pepper Sauce humanely – or heavenly – possible ~ Errol Pierre-Davis

Jab Jab, so the story is told is an old Carnival character from Trinidad Folklore & Legends, Trinidad & Tobago folklore is predominantly of African origin, flavoured with French and to a lesser degree, Spanish and English influences.  The jab molassie — the name means “molasses devil” in French patois — is one of the oldest Carnival characters, dating back to the days of slavery. He represents the ghost of a slave who met his death by falling into a vat of boiling molasses on the sugarcane estate. The jab jab — French patois for “double devil” is the new, more familiar devil-like character. The Jab Jab occupies a space between the worlds of life and death. The difference among various forms of devil mas were once distinct but have now become blurred over time.

The whole expression of the Blue Devil Parade in Trinidad’s Carnival is rooted in culture and oral tradition and dates back to the days of colonial slavery.

 

 During colonial times in the 1700s, the French aristocracy celebrated Carnival with flamboyant masks and costumes as a last fling before the penitence and abstinence of the Catholic observance of Lent. With the abolition of slavery and freedom in 1838, there was an unleashing of the pagan Carnival celebrations, with wild dances, grease paint and grotesque masks out on the streets, scantily dressed, and sometimes with chains and padlocks around their legs, accompanied by loud drumbeats the former slaves attempted to offend polite society, which they blamed for decades of suffering.

 Carnival in Trinidad grew out of the collective experience of all people who have come to the island from Spanish times, prior to 1797, on through to the present day. Carnival is essentially Roman Catholic in origin.

In Trinidad, there is a long tradition of “bacchanal” connected to festivals or holiday’s.

J’ouvert (pronounced ‘joovay’ locally) originates from the French (Jour  ourvert ), meaning day break or morning, and signals the start of the Bacchanalia which is Carnival. It is ultimately a large street party during Carnival, and is highly traditional and full of symbols culture and heritage. It is steeped in tradition and playing mud mas, involves participants known as Jab Jabs. Covering themselves in – from head to toe – and others in paint, chocolate, mud, white powder or anything for that matter. It is J’ouvert custom that no one is clean, and a common site is to see a newcomer being hugged by muddy revellers.

“The belief is that the dragon band is a roving depiction of Satan and his horde cast from heaven … he and his servants return to the earthly plain on the two days before the Lenten season commences in order to test the virtue of the faithful.”

The spectacular costumes represent the characters and events from history and folklore. Moko Jumbies, Bats, Beelzebub, Jab Molassie, Jab Jab, Red Devil, Blue Devil, Midnight Robber, Dame Lorraine and Wild Indian, are all traditional Carnival characters that capture the elements of the past, and continue to tell the story.

“We at LoveChilis/JAB JAB 1492 are truly excited to finally be able to introduce our consumers to the fine exotic taste of  JAB JAB 1492, we are already generating significant buzz and find ourselves taking a leadership role in setting the trends for the ultra-premium pepper sauce catergory.”

Jamaica Brings The Chili Heat – “JERK” Style

Jamaican “JERK” with Hot Scotch Bonnet Chili Peppers as standard

This post was inspired by my Fabulous Wife Perlina and her Dad John my (Father In Law)who is from Spanish Town, Jamaica and who both make a mean Jerk Chicken/Pork respectively.

Jamaica is the birthplace of the jerk cooking style, with the exception of reggae music, jerk cuisine is probably Jamaica’s best-known cultural export. You’ll find jerk in just about every Jamaican eatery, from roadside stands like Scotchies arguably the world’s most famous Jerk Joint in Montego Bay, to the upscale creative dishes at the Sugar Mill at Half Moon resort.

Jerk cooking is done when a charcoal fire is made in a pit in the ground and small planks of green aromatic pimento wood are placed on top of the hot coals to form a crude grill. The highly seasoned meat is stretched across this wooden grill in large slabs covered with a top layer of wood and left to cook slowly. The “real” jerk taste comes from a combination of the blend of seasonings used, the effect of the smoke created by the twin layers of green pimento wood and slow method of (John Bull’s Reggae Kitchen Video) cooking.


 Jerk was first created by the Arawak Indians, the original natives of Jamaica. The term “Jerk” originally referred to a process of curing and drying meat, hence the term beef jerky.  The term derives from the Quecha language, spoken by the indigenous denizens of Peru.  They referred to preserved, dried meat as “charqui” which was somehow transmuted via the Spanish and the English to “jerk.”

Some runaway slaves, (known as the Maroons), established their own inland communities in Jamaica and other Caribbean lsands.  Their culture reflected their African ancestry intermingled with elements of the Arawak Indians and western influences.  The mixed origins of Jamaican jerk seasoning can in part also be traced through the Maroons, all the way to their ancestral hunters of Western Africa. With their liberal use, of Peppers and spices. 

The Caribbean Islands and Jamaica in particular, has a colourful Pirate history. The term buccaneer derives from the Caribbean Arawak word buccan, a wooden frame for smoking meat, preferably manatee. From this became derived in French the word boucane and hence the name boucanier, English colonists anglicised the word boucanier to buccaneer. English settlers occupying Jamaica began to spread the name buccaneers with the meaning of pirates. The name then became universally adopted later in 1684.

There are any number of recipes for jerk seasoning, and many have an ingredient list a mile long. Jamaican food lovers agree that there are three jerk spice ingredients that are key:
allspice, Scotch bonnet peppers, and thyme.

  • The allspice berry, also known as “Jamaica pepper/Pimento,” is native to the island and has a rich, spicy flavor reminiscent of a mingling of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Scotch bonnet peppers are small, orange, wrinkly, and extremely hot–they are among the hottest chilis available.
  • Thyme is widely used in Caribbean cooking and adds complexity to the flavor of the meat. Additional ingredients that are often added to jerk seasoning include garlic, brown sugar, green onions, soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice, rum, bay leaves, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper.

When Christopher Columbus brought Chili Peppers and also (Pimento/AllSpice) back to Spain, the Spanish thought it was black pepper, which they called pimenta, they also call it Jamaican pepper because of where it was discovered and because it looked like pepper to them. Back in the days even before it was encountered by the explorer, it was used by the Mayans as an embalming agent, funny as it sounds, and by the Arawaks to preserve and cure meats. In some instances it was even used as a deodorant, it was sprinkled in shoes to keep down odour.

Suggestions:      Traditionally served alongside Rice & Peas, fried Plantain and of course some hot pepper sauce, washed down with a nice Jamaican Rum Punch.

Jamaican Rum Punch Recipe

This Jamaican Rum Punch Recipe is extremely easy to make. It goes very well with a designated driver.

Rum, Pimento AllSpice, Pepper, Hot Sauce,

Jamaican Rum Punch

 The rule of thumb for a strong Jamaican Rum Punch is to use your ingredients in these proportions:

An island adage, “One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong and four of weak!”

1 of bitter
2 of sweet
3 of strong
4 of weak

Personally, I find that “3 of strong” is enough to wake the dead, but maybe I’m just a weakling. This rum punch recipe uses 2 of strong, and I’ve had no complaints so far.

Jamaican Rum Punch

Ingredients

1 cup lime juice
1 1/2 cups Anchor Strawberry Syrup
1/2 cup honey
2 cups Wray and Nephew Overproof Rum
4 cups water
A few whole grains of pimento (all spice)

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, until the syrup and honey are well blended with the other ingredients. Ready to serve over ice.

Variations: The honey can be omitted and two cups of syrup used. Other brands of white rum may be used – vary the quantity according to the strength of the rum. Use syrup in other flavours or brands, or a dash of Hot Chili Sauce for the brave.

Hope you enjoy. Don’t drink it too fast, it will creep up on you!
