Cooking oil brand, U:ME, has expanded its range of Spice Shots with the addition of a new flavour – Kansas City Style BBQ. Kansas City Style BBQ contains a combination of fresh tomato, sticky honey and spices. The new variant joins the brand's existing flavours, including Japanese Style and Lebanese Style. U:ME's commercial director, Kim Matthews, said: “Our Lebanese and Japanese Spice Shots were such a hit last year, with families wanting to spice up mealtimes and explore different cuisines from their kitchen, that we knew we had to expand the range – and the Kansas City Style Spice Shot is the perfect addition". She continued: “Its sweet yet smoky taste with a bit of a kick makes it ideal for marinating, grilling, roasting or barbecuing with meat, fish or vegetables”. U:ME Kansas City Style Spice Shots are available at selected Sainsbury’s stores for an RRP of £2.30.
