Slap Ya Mama: The spice that (really) wakes everyone up
Let's be honest, the first time we see this label, we're stumped by the name. "Slap Ya Mama" (literally: Slap your Mom ). Don't panic, nobody wants to hurt your mother! In Louisiana, it's an old expression to say that something is so good, so intense, that you'd do anything for it, even something silly like hitting your mom.
Behind this provocative name lies a family story, the Walker family, in Ville Platte (the world capital of meat smoking). They wanted a spice blend that could be used anywhere, anytime, without having to get out the salt and pepper shakers.
MoreThe true taste of Louisiana (Cajun)
If you're looking to recreate the taste of famous New Orleans shrimp or Jambalaya, this is what you need. Unlike many "Tex-Mex" mixes loaded with salt and strange additives, Slap Ya Mama goes for rustic simplicity.
The recipe is that of a true Cajun: salt, red pepper, black pepper, and garlic. That's it. No MSG (glutamate), no chemical preservatives. It's raw. It's this precise blend that gives it that unique "Bayou" flavor. It's fiery, it's flavorful, it's alive.

FAQ - The Curious Corner
Is it really that strong?
The Original is "Medium Hot." It tingles, but it doesn't burn your mouth. The "Hot" versions are more intense. If you're sensitive to chili peppers, start slowly!
Why "Cajun"?
The Cajuns are descendants of French Acadians expelled from Canada to Louisiana. That's why their cuisine is so rich and comforting. Slap Ya Mama is an ambassador of this festive culture.
Does it contain gluten?
No, the spices are naturally gluten-free and MSG-free. Just real spices.
