Bum Hummers Pickled Onions Review (1000 Farts in a Jar)

I like to consider this a bit of a classy blog, taking about fine food and wine. I like to think people like you read articles on this site while sipping a nice cup of earl grey listening to some art house music with the scent of home baked bread in the air. Well, no longer can I imagine this now that I am reviewing this gem of a product- and I call it that largely from its ingenious marketing.

Bum Hummers (or pickled onions with chilli and other spices)  reputedly contain 1000 farts in a jar, which may put people off making a purchase, but while some of my friends were traversing around rural NSW, they decided this product was exactly what Australian Foodie needed, and so here we are.


I can't do a review without tasting a product, so despite some initial apprehensions and my husband's protests, taste a pickled onion I did, and they were actually really
good!

Rather than just be a typical old onion, the chilli and spice infusion in these Bum Hummers really packed a kick, and would go really well with a crumbly cheddar and smoked ham on a fancy little ploughman's lunch plate.

The hot chilli in these onions made them strangely addictive, and after my eyes finished watering from my first taste, I was well up for another bite!
To wash these spicy nuggets down, I'd opt for really good a pale ale such as a Little Creatures or a 4 Pines.

The onions in this jar are locally grown and preservative-free. Created by Riverina Grove, the range of Bum Hummer produce stems far and wide from this humble jar of pickled deliciousness. You can also procure for yourselves a jar of Bum Hummers Chilli Salsa (Fart Starter) or a jar of Bum Hummers Tomato Relish (No Farts in a Jar).

I love these Bum Hummers. Really good, nice and spicy and make a change from normal pickled onions. Not sure about the 1000 farts in a jar, i'm always afraid to fart after eating a few of these!
