Uncle Mungo's makes Australian hot sauce with a wicked sense of humour, and the reaper-and-skull labels mean it. The range runs from fruity sauces to four-pepper superhots, plus chicken salts, BBQ rubs, crispy chilli oils, a habanero ketchup and a burger sauce, all made in Australia. The Rub Hub stocks the range and ships Australia-wide for a flat $10.
