Mumbopicy started because I genuinely could not stop chasing bold, spicy flavor, and one blend of chili powder ended up changing how I eat every single meal.
I have always had a serious weakness for spicy, tasty food. Somewhere along the way I got tired of settling for bland meals just because that's what was in front of me. A meal without real heat and flavor felt like a missed opportunity, and I decided I wasn't going to keep accepting that.
Mumbopicy came out of my own addiction to spicy, tasty food. I wanted a chili powder that could turn any dull meal into one that was actually worth the effort of eating it, no matter what was on the plate.
I started using it on breakfast, lunch, and dinner without exception. It went on pizza, into pasta, over Asian food, Mexican food, and Indian food, into soups, and onto salads. If a meal could use more life, Mumbopicy went on it.
My favorite place to use it turned out to be on airplanes. Mumbopicy turns every bland, dull meal served to me in the air into one that even the passengers up in first class end up envying.
What started as a personal habit became a small batch chili powder I wanted to share. A marinade sauce built on the same blend is coming next, so the same heat can show up on the grill too.
Dehydrated Thai and Serrano chili peppers, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Nothing artificial, nothing hidden.
Ground fresh in small batches so the heat and aroma actually show up on the plate.
Tried and tested in my own kitchen, on every cuisine I love, and on more flights than I can count.
