I love this stuff (I bet I'm not the only one), it turns a bland and uniteresting meal into something a lot more palatable, or masks the taste of stuff - less tasty. I read somewhere that is was a highly requested item for squaddies in Iraq. Problem is, it comes in a thunking great glass bottle. What do you guys use to carry such condements? Do you just lug the bottle along, or do you decant it into something lighter?

We have loads of US MREs about ... some of which come with a 5ml bottle of tabasco.

I think you can buy the small bottles direct from the company that makes it ... I'm sure i saw a link on another forum.

I managed to get my hands on an MRE, opened it up and..... no tabasco. I'd got a vege pack and they don't seem to contain them :evil:. I think that selfridges in the Trafford centre has packets of the mini bottles. If your willing to go there :shock:.

The mini-bottles are glass Martyn. Very good seals too.

Menu 1, Beefsteak with Mushrooms.
Menu 10, Chili and Macaroni.
Menu 15, Beef Enchiladas.

The red perrer in accessory pack B is just a sachet of cayenne pepper.

I go through loads of Mre's with my scouts, I never let them have the sauce in case they dont like it , as I am a hoarder I have loads of these 5ml bottles in my kitchen cupboard.

Really? Cool! That size is more suited to the palette over here in the UK anyway.

I just like to buy something of the size that I'll get through in a sensible timescale ... I think we still have a 5 ml MRE bottle going nearly a year on!

I like it, just in very small doses!
