tabasco sauce?

[Martyn]

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:.

I'll have to keep a look out for them. Are the bottle glass or plastic? If they're plastic, might be worth getting a 6-pack and fillingvthe others with worcester sauce, garlic sauce etc..

Not all MREs have the sauce ... check out this list for details of the menus: http://www.dscp.dla.mil/subs/rations/meals/mres.htm

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

Ahhh, so it's the ones with accessory pack "B", which are:

Menu 1, Beefsteak with Mushrooms.
Menu 10, Chili and Macaroni.
Menu 15, Beef Enchiladas.
Menu 24, Meat Loaf with Gravy.

 

[Adi007]

Actually, look for the Hot Sauce listing ... that's menus, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22 and 23!

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.
If anyone wants some send me a sa jiffy bag and I will send you some.

Hey Cindy

The penny now drops! No wonder I call you the tabasco lady!!!!!!

Wheres the best (and cheapest) place to get the mre's over here?

 

[Adi007]

I've bought MREs from Jasper over at http://www.strikeforcesupplies.co.uk/2.shtml ... if you know which you want, he can usually cut boxes to suit.

(I'm speaking as a happy customer and don't get a cut of the sales ... honest :0: )

They do the little bottles of tabasco in packs of 6 in our local Asda :-D

 

[Adi007]

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

Adi,

You don't HAVE to put the whole bottle on in one go mate! :yikes:

[Adi007]

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!
