LOL! Yeah boys, I am a proud South African and manny’s is kind of a benchmark here but only in Seafood circles. We as South Africans are rather fussy when it comes to our pepper/chilli sauces and dishes. A great one is the Banditos habanero range. it friggin’ smokes! Manny’s is good with prawns, try it out. Comes in a big ol’ J & B bottle.

This is great sauce…your review is right on the money. I actually got my first bottle directly from Manny….I’ve met him a few times through work and he randomly produces a bottle of this hot sauce for me to try. I was sold from the first taste. I love this stuff.

A good sauce but the true king of hot sauce HAS to be Manny’s piri-piri sauce found in Johannesburg, South Africa. I think it must be the grape vinigar which gives it that distinct flavour. However, Pit Bull is easier to obtain and I am sold on it.

I haven’t tried the original but the Renegade is awesome. Great flavor as well as heat, that’s what they focused on. I got a bottle of this at a fair (local brand).

You should try the hotter flavors “revenge” and “renegade” Same great flavor with some more burn…
And for the flavored sauces they now have a Jalapeño Peach sauce and the outrageous Jalapeño Pineapple sauce…

I have tried them all ( the local deli sells it) and all I can say is I am hooked !!!!!

My wife and I both love this sauce to. We add it to a very generic BBQ sauce like Sue Bee and use it on grilled items. Kari can’t take to much heat so this is something we can both enjoy. I think he has a hotter version as well.

Your review is spot on. Sriachi rooster kicked with a bit of sweetness and some floating seeds. I agree that it tops Sriachi sauce by just a tiny bit, but could easily pass for it.

I also think it tops out Sriachi rooster sauce.

Yeah, it’s not a super spicy sauce… just nicely warming. They evidently make hotter versions of Pit Bull. I wonder if the flavor is the same…

Good review. These guys are located about 10 minutes from - i’ve been using it for a while. Not as hot as I like, but nice and flavorful.
