It Must be the BBQ Sauce
It Must be the BBQ Sauce
Written by Vicki Silvera, Megan’s mom:
4th of July I was quietly reading Mrs. Polifax Goes to Africa, in Los Angeles on the maternity ward waiting for something to happen. The Nurses constantly checking in on me. No other patients. Quiet.
Then it happens…
Ten hours later back in the room and bedlam on the ward. Mothers and babies. The nurses rushing. Then in comes my favorite nurse, from Trinidad, with THE explanation.
“It’s the barbecue sauce. I keep telling them not to eat the Barbecue Sauce. See they eat the sauce and now they be having the babies… well it’s the 4th and they ate the sauce.”
Let’s talk about the sauce and not the babies. This sauce may get you the babies. Or get you called Baby or make you cry out Baybee…
Not your regular tomato, sugar and spice. A bit of the Caribbean. Spices, herbs, sweet on sour kick, a hot and cool dance on a family recipe for Ginger Beer. It is a mix-up mix-up on fruit paste, THE hot pepper, vegetables and… not a baby in sight.
Each Awkward Sauce is made from natural, locally sourced ingredients and is freshly made to order. We recommend refrigeration for these sauces, most lasting about 3 weeks but you may consume it quickly, as do most customers. Trust us we don’t mind when you run out!
