$$$Official bounty offered for the successful location and capture of this seasoning. (The more the better.)

It is basically Lawry's season salt with Tabasco flavoring. Sounds simple but my family has become addicted to it and we've created a lot of recipes around it.

We were using this seasoning very successfully. So successfully in fact that I bought it by the case. When I went to place a new order a couple months back I was told that Lawry's discontinued it. When I called the company I got the official line but the woman on the phone felt my pain and told me confidentially that it can still sometimes be found in dollar stores etc that have older inventory. I've searched locally, ebay and the wild, wild Web to no avail.

If you can locate some of this for me I'd be very grateful and the reward is no joke. One jar would be nice but a case or ten would be better... I'd happily pay a finders fee or work out some other arrangement...

 
1 gallon jug

I'm going to try this recipe thank you. I actually have already tried creating a clone. I purchased a gallon jug of Tabasco and tried drying it and mixing with regular Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Haven't been very successful.
While Ideally I'd like to find some old inventory somewhere (and the Bounty still stands), I'd be happy to send you (Michael and cheezz) some of my attempts at this recipe and others to get there. PM me if you're interested. It looks like McIlhenny (Tabasco) only wants to sell the Dry Red to flavoring industry companies.

 
That's nice of you to offer, but I don't know how I'd use it. Can't you just use Lawry's ...

and add tabasco as you go? Would it be that different from the Lawry's Red Pepper Season Salt?

 
Have you tried this from AmericanSpice

If the link doesn't work, go to americanspice.com and search for red pepper seasoning salt. They actually refer to the Lawry's in the description.

I've ordered from them before and have always been more than satisfied with my purchases and the quality of the products.

out of stock

desertjean,
I saw that one a while back but when I tried to order it I got an "out of stock" message. Tried again today and got the same message unfortunately.

 
It says they've stopped taking orders temporarily

while they change things to make it work better. Maybe you should check back after the first of the year.

Good luck. It sucks to get hooked on a product that is discontinued.

 
tomato potato

I will but that is the same message I got months ago. So they have a loose definition of "temporarily"

 
Like: You're call is important, please hold for the next operator

Only they don't tell you the next operator isn't coming in until a week from tuesday smileys/smile.gif

 
Homemade w/Tabasco Red Chile Pepper Powder & vinegar powder?

Recipe Zaar has a homemade recipe for the Lawry's Red Pepper Seasoned Salt with Tabasco, but it calls for cayenne pepper and a bit of Tabasco sauce added to the dried ingredients. If you fiddle with the recipe using dried tabasco red chile powder instead of the cayenne, and vinegar powder in place of the Tabasco sauce & maybe the citric acid, you could really duplicate Lawry's. Here is a link to a shop in Los Lunas, NM where they sell Tobasco red chile powder...
