‘‘Tis the seasoning

[blue toon hibby]

I have no beef with the Condiments World Cup but please spare a thought for the hitherto uncategorised seasonings. Would love to hear of any suggestions but my personal favourite was introduced to me 30 years ago. Whilst working on a Norwegian platform, we were occasionally joined by a snubbing crew from Louisiana who always brought their own supply due to the blandness of the food. It has been my go to seasoning ever since. Great on omelettes, pizzas, chips, baked tatties etc. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning.

Questions.
Where can one purchase this miracle seasoning?
Does Morrisons do an ‘own brand’ version?

I’ve been lucky up to now with a nephew in the States and an ex-colleague who goes there occasionally always willing to bring some back for me.

I’ve had some offers but hell hasn’t frozen over yet. Africa seems to be where the work is nowadays.

Wow I'm surprised at 2012. Thought they were all gone by then. A quick look online suggests a few are in Australian waters.
