Anyone try Meat Church rub Holy Voodoo ??

NDG

my BGE dealer has Holy Voodoo rub and might scoop some next time I go to refill the propane tank.  Described as cajun . . curious if anyone here has tried it.  If so, what is it good on ??

I am just looking for a reason to leave the house - tell me its good.

Yes and I like it. I’ve used it on chicken and vegetables. I suck at describing flavor profiles but I like it a lot. My wife won’t eat anything spicy so I don’t use it on her food. It’s not hot by no means but spicier than she likes.

It’s probably my favorite of all his rubs. That or honey hog. Those 2 are certainly the most interesting of the bunch. 

Lowcountrygamecock

Yep I was out of honey hog and ordered the holy voo doo to try while I was reordering honey hog. 

The Cen-Tex Smoker

It’s like a milder version of Dizzy Pig Swamp
Venom if you have ever had that. It’s not exactly but that will get you pretty close. Or like if you have ever had Zapps Cajun chips...that’s the General profile.

We have had to restock it once or twice already. Gets great feedback. Haven’t sampled it yet personally.

Thanks everyone - I’ll rush out tmrw & get a shaker.  I enjoyed swamp venom, and love Zapps Cajun . . So this seems urgent.

If you like those you should enjoy holy voodoo. Matt did a great job with this one.

Yes, it’s very good. I enjoy it the most on chicken wings. Has some small jalapeño flakes in it. Wouldn’t consider it ‘hot’, but more of a ‘medium’ heat flavor.

Lowcountrygamecock

YES it does remind me of Zappa Cajun chips and I love those. I can’t get them where I live and even if I could I’m on a keto diet right now. But the flavor is close. Good call on that.

Doctored up holy voodoo pork rinds sound pretty good. (keto friendly)

Its good.

Picked up a bottle at Academy Sports today.

Its really good on a lot of things.  My wife and I’s favorite are chicken and popcorn.  More of a sweet with jalapeño bite but agree with Cen-Tex as a favorite of Matt’s rubs.  Dizzy Pig ghost is hotter and has a different heat but then again it is two different peppers.

Had it on some skillet taters I made for breakfast tacos this morning. That stuff is really good. Definite has the Zapps craw-taters chips vibe to it.

It's good. I've used it on wings and ribs. Yumms

The Cen-Tex Smoker

Still use voodoo every week on something. Spicy msg. What could go wrong?

I use it in aiolis.

Love the voodoo. I don’t salt my chicken when I use it as it seems to have enough already in the rub.

For those who haven't seen the offer, I've placed "The Ocho" atop my Father's Day wish list ... https://www.meatchurch.com/products/the-ocho.

Same. I make @eggcelciors Baltimore Pit Beef Sauce with it. It’s awesome in aiolis

That’s a killer deal and great way to get baptized in the Meat Church way

No need for more salt for sure. Voodoo is super salty (the added MSG makes sure of that).

I know it’s not good for you, but I love MSG. It’s the ingredient that launched a million would be Brisket Gods. 

M = Makes 
S = Sh!t
G = Great

I am really into Meat Church.  Love Holy Cow, Honey Hog, and Deez Nuts!   I just recently got some of the HV.  Now I’m anxious to try it out.

From what I understand, it's perfectly harmless.

This is true. Just got a bad rap in the 80’s but there is nothing inherently unhealthy about MSG. It seems we always have to have a bogeyman to blame our societal unhealthy habits and it was MSG’s turn before sulfides, nitrates, carbs, and then gluten. There are people legit sensitive to any and every food but the hysteria around a lot of these is 100% overblown and unwarranted.

Salty!

I ran some on chicken last night and dang it was salty. I will try it again on something but I may have to tap.

Always taste new rubs. Simply apply a lighter coat. 

Traeger has a chicken rub that’s the same way. Ruin a meal if you apply like some other rubs, but excellent if you use it sparingly.
