[mandimoo]

anyone know where i can buy a BIG bottle of the above (like sometimes you see behind a bar for bloody marys). we use loads of it in our house, and those silly little bottles just dont last long enough! and i dont have a cash and carry card either.

Here is a bit of information from the producers


Classic Tabasco red pepper sauce
Tabasco brand pepper sauce is sold in more than 160 countries and territories and is packaged in 22 languages and dialects. As many as 720,000 two-ounce (57ml) bottles of Tabasco[1] sauce are produced each day at the Tabasco factory on Avery Island, Louisiana. These bottles range in size from the common two-ounce and five-ounce (57ml and 148 ml) bottles available in most grocery stores, up to a one US gallon (3.8 liter) jug for food service businesses,

They may not all be available in shops in the UK.....but there is always EBAY...EVERYTHING is available there....lol

Those prices are shocking! Bought two bottles that size for less than a tenner in Costco yesterday.

cash & carry - Macro. You need a trade card for purchases.

Now isn't this odd.
A friend of ours who works in catering gave us a 350ml bottle of Tabasco recently(the restaurant she was in was closing down.It is sitting (sealed and unopened) before me now.
If you want to email me on [email protected] I might be able to mail it to you,or if you are anywhere near Hastings I could meet you and deliver it.
It's a shame we don't use more Tabasco,we have had the little (standard) bottle in the larder for yonks.
If not there address is:~

Now I have to apologise.
I have just read (my eyesight is not that good) that the use by date is Sept 2006 !!
However I do know that a sealed bottle should be alright even now.
You are still welcome to it though?

Would you consider giving Thai chilli sauce a go? that often comes in much bigger bottles.

[Mamyalynne]

Mr V in my opinion things like that never go off

[Mr Veritas]

I agree mamyalynne,
but I thought I had better mention it anyway.
