Momma's Spice



Momma's Spice is a non-customized brand of paprika invented by DJ's mother and used by her son exclusively in Total Drama Action.

Overview
DJ possesses a spice created by his mother that is guaranteed to make even the most disgusting concoctions of any nature taste gourmet. DJ owns a canister of this spice and uses it during Total Drama Action to make the worst food into something actually edible and even tasty for the contestants. Most of the contestants are sad when DJ quits the competition, because he made Chef Hatchet's food substantially better with the spice.

Usage
The spice is first seen in the Total Drama Action opening sequence, where DJ is seen in the Craft Services Tent. He uses the spice on Chef's stew that Heather's wig had fallen in, causing the stew to become a strange green color. Despite the soup looking disgusting, he adds a dash of spice to it, tastes it, and seems to enjoy it.

The spice makes its most significant appearance in The Chefshank Redemption, where it is first used on Chef Hatchet's food in the beginning of the episode. Chef attempts to demonstrate to DJ how tough guys like himself survive on lowly meals. However, DJ is disgusted at the food and decides to go against Chef's advice. He secretly uses a quick dash of Momma's Spice and makes the disgusting food taste wonderful.

Later on, during the prison break challenges, the first competition is to feed someone from the opposite team disgusting food until one of them pukes. DJ's team cooks a meal for Lindsay on the Killer Grips as she faces off with Gwen. Unwilling to serve slop, DJ adds a heavy dosage of the spice to Screaming Gaffers' concoction, despite the fact that his team needs to win the challenge. Because of DJ's actions, Lindsay ends up loving the horrible food and instead, rather than throwing up, starts eating it furiously. Chef later scolds DJ for his actions, as the spice almost caused DJ's team to lose the challenge.
