Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 My parents in law have a shop and they went to a retail trade fair type thing today and Levi Roots was there, giving away samples of his sauce. Does anyone remember him from Dragons' Den? Anyway, they got us a bottle of sauce and it's even signed! How funny is that!!!!! http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/sauce1.jpg http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/sauce2.jpg Also, my bro in law gave us EVEN more seeds, so we're going to be busy this weekend Also good for bartering with, with our veg growing friends http://www.liverpoolpoet.talktalk.net/seeds.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I make a stir fry sauce out of it Emma I cook the chicken and veg then add about 1/3rd bottle of sauce and a good glug of dry sherry and cook for about 3 minutes till the sauce reduces back down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treekeeper Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 It's totally brilliant on a fried egg sandwich. I was quite suprised the Dragons took him up as at the time he'd got all his calculations wrong and they'd just completely destroyed another bloke for the same thing. Glad they did though 'cos his sauce is good eatin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 at the time he only had the 1 flavour of sauce didn't he? The Reggae Reggae sauce. I suspect he's had some expert help to diversify his range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I found the Love Apple Sauce in Tesco today Sarah do let me know how they turn out and what the sauce tastes like, i might try it on Quorn fillets if you think its ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treekeeper Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That's right Poet he did only one sauce in his kitchen at home, and he told them he had orders for 10 million litres! Until Peter Jones pointed out it was for a much smaller amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
