But hey! Now I can skip the equally unfathomably long and quick drive thru lines and dip my tendies any time I want, close my eyes, and fool myself into thinking it's the real deal (or close enoguh to it) by busting out the new Trader Joe's Incredisauce!
Make no mistake: just as it was pretty clear that TJ's was taking on In-N-Out with the ol' Magnifisauce, it's obvious who the new target is. Superman's disembodied hand is holding a nugget there, after all.
And if you've ever had the Chick-Fil-A dipping sauce, this TJ's one is really pretty close. It's mustard based, primarily, but with oil and egg whites mixed in for some extra may-liciios body, There's tomato paste and garlic and onion and apple cider vinegar and...well, you can read the ingredients yourself, but it's almost not necessary as each are equally taste-able. It feels like cheating to just rehash the product's own description, but a little sweet, kind atnagy, and definitely smoky are all pretty apt descriptors. The real difference I could taste was the smokiness - seems amped more in the Incredisauce than the Chick-Fil-A if I'm recalling things correctly.
Nutritionally speaking, this stuff is a disaster though. Added sugar. Soybean oil. All that salt. I mean, everything in moderation, so make out of that as you will. I'll try not to dunk and slather as tempting as that would be.
Can't quite get the best pic of the ingredients and nutrition label - it's all pretty small - so here's the info from the official TJ's website.
It's $3.29 for the bottle and should last you a while. Not a bad deal at all. Would definitely buy again any day, and maybe twice on Sundays. Double fours.
Bottom line: Trader Joe's Incredisauce: 8 out of 10 Golden Spoons.
Mmm, I'm definitely gonna try this one. Stayed away from the Magnifisauce due to "pickle relish." Hidden Valley has a similar sauce I've fallen in love with, but this is less expensive.
ReplyDeleteSo this is pretty good. Maybe not quiet up to the name brand. But my problem with this product is the bottle is incredibly hard to squeeze! Did we need a childproof sauce? If I were any weaker, I wouldn't be able to handle it. Bizarre packaging choice!
DeleteI can see this being used as a sandwich spread.
