Three Green Kings

Hey folks, I know that it’s the fourth today but it’s still my first review since december. So happy new year!

This time around, the postal service has been a little more on point and I’ve been a little more prepared, as well.

Because, much like her Fireman’s Watch, this sauce uses some very british fruit that I’ve never seen in another chilli product.

Its first ingredient is gooseberry.
