I was planning to try making spicy banana ketchup for the Cookingbites Recipe Challenge: Bananas and Plantain. I believe @Lullabelle tried some at a cheese tasting a while back, which was likely this brand. So in the interests of research I bought a bottle to try - intending perhaps to copy-cat it or improve on it. Anyway, I had a taste and I think its horrible! I'll eat almost anything spicy and this ketchup is certainly quite hot from chilli although not excessively so - but somehow, combined with the banana taste it just doesn't work - at least for me. It seems to me that banana overpowers the ketchup and has taken on that almost 'varnish' aroma that you can get if you use too many bananas in a cake or something.
Maybe its just me. If anyone would in the UK wants to try it I'll post them the bottle. I only tried a teaspoonful.
