Thanks so much Kobus; my friend in South Africa!

[Chuck D]

I got a dream shipment today of Nando's Peri Peri sauce. Nando's is the ultimate fast food restaurant based in South Africa and they serve healthy food that is out of sight good.

They are famous for their "chicken burger" which is actually a grilled chicken breast served on a flour dusted Portuguese sour dough roll and smothered in Peri Peri sauce which is what Kobus (one of our Phoenix boat brothers) sent me here as you can see in the photo.

In South Africa they call what we call a Bar B Que a "Brie" and Kobus my friend we'll have a dandy of one here shortly and many a beer will be raised in your honor. Have some close friends from SA here that will be on hand for a Peri Peri based Brie gathering and we may even Brie some of that famous SA sausage!

Thanks so much, what a terrific and kind thing to do!

By the way that's Bass Talk Live in the background with Aaron Martens interview yesterday about the Bassmaster Classic. Give it a listen, he talks about his boat and the new batteries that he's using and the effect on how the boat sits in the water. http://www.basstalklive.com

They are great people for sure!!!!!!!!!!

Frans sent me the same selection of Peri Peri sauce. He called after I recieved it and warned me....."Marty, you know the one that says Extra Hot? Be careful, VERY careful with that because its *#&$& HOT!!!!!"

I have plans to try them this weekend. We are going to a friends house to have a little get together and I am going to be grilling.

In the interview with a mart, he said that he insulated the lids in his boat. Does anyone know how he would do that? He said he did it for moisture but when I checked out the phoenix the lids were loud when shut. Maybe it would help with dampening the noise a little.

Looks like you will be taking a crap in the creek tomorrow?

Yeah and then looking for a rabbitt!

I thought I heard him say that he wanted to try and keep the heat out in addition to trying to keep the moisture out. My last boat had aluminum lids as well and had a 1/2 inch foam material that looked to be cut to fit then glued into place. Not quite sure the difference it made.

That got my attention too.

was getting worried about this package, left South Africa on the 23rd of December already talk about snail mail enjoy the BRAAI and be afraid, very afraid of the extra hot bottle.

[Chuck D]

Yeah, no kidding. Thought some crafty customs agent snagged it and was having a Brie on our behalf!

I grilled some chicken breats last night and brushed the Garlic Peri Peri on them and man oh man, was that fantastic. The garlic has a nice bite to it and this from a true hot sauce aficionado (I collect them) so that xtra hot version is going to be something else I'm sure.

I'm saving that one for when my S A buddies come over and I can blow their heads off with the super hot stuff!

Thanks again for doing that, I really do appreciate it more than you know!

[nightbasser]

looks and sounds like some good stuff there!!

[marty92xrd]

I tried the Garlic last night myself.....WOW!!! Man that is some good stuff!!!!!

[bassing africa]

Marty not only do we have Nando's, we also have boerewors, great bass fishing, great weather and 2 of the greatest boats ever build in South Africa. Motor should be on the boats in a week. Looking forward to breaking in the beast

[Chuck D]

Looking forward to seeing those bad boys hanging on the back of those boats! Am still suffering from the HOT version of the sauce. Man that stuff is hard to put down! Thanks again!!

[bassing africa]

Chuck told you the hot stuff is HOT The motors arrived yesterday and will be going on Saterday, then running on Sunday looking forward to getting on the water again after 5 months, will be posting all the pictures after the weekend.
