Soul Food. . .

It is not often that I come across a product that I care to endorse, but on occasion a surprise comes my way and I wish to share. Not since my discovery of Bacon Salt have I found a seasoning product that pleases my palate in such a diverse way.

Enter JSU Tiger Spice.

I was passing through the grocery store around the corner from the office a few weeks ago when I noticed a rack of JSU Tiger Spice. I chuckled at the name because as I know, and most of you don't, that JSU stands for Jackson State University, a historically black university that began as a seminary educating newly freed blacks in 1877, and the Tiger, of course, is the modern mascot.

I thought it was pretty cute that the school had it's own spice blend, so I picked up a few bottles because I realized that there are few people on the planet who know how to cook up some good food like our brethren brothers and sisters of color! And ladies and gentlemen, I was not diappointed.

JSU Tiger Spice claims to be good on beef, chicken, fish and pork, but I believe it is far more versatile than that. I have since used it in many vegetable preparations, a particular favorite being a ragoût of okra, corn and tomatoes, known around here as okra, corn 'n maters! I've also used it in salad dressing, various marinades and mashed potatoes.

Here it is working its magic on two pork tenderloins. . .

Quite frankly, I find it to be far more useful than another Southern favorite Tony Chachere's or the Mid-Atlantic classic Old Bay, although I love both of those too! Even the old school Serendipity is no match. There is just some sublime element within JSU Tiger Spice that gives it a broad brush with which to paint on the canvas of food. I'm not sure if it's the Tiger Spirit or the Sonic Boom which tastes so good, but there is no doubt that JSU Tiger Spice is definitely. . .
