#107 - Niall Tudor McKay-Mount (AKA Mr Chimp) - Merry Chimpmas!
Niall talks to us about how he got to be Mr Chimp!
We talk about:
- The name of his first sauce for a chicken wing eating competition.
- Finding the meaning of life at 42.
- And how his funky dance moves got the attention of Mrs Chimp.
This is Niall’s 43rd job since leaving school in 1990.
In 2015, he was suffering from depression and needed serious help. His friend Paul kindly gave him some of his chilli seedlings and said, “Grow them mate, they may take your mind off things!”
A few months later his sister asked him to make a “Man Vs Food” challenge sauce. He made a chilli sauce that went down so well that shortly after that Screaming Chimp was born!
They provide a range of chilli sauces that are perfectly paired with all the meat you can eat or fish you can dish. From their County Durham home, they grow a variety of chillies which go into every one of their sauces. There are seven sauces in the range, from mild to wild!
