Cholula is definitely the hot sauce of choice in our house.
Hey LapLap! I hope all's well with you. I'm headed back to London next week . . . I'll keep an eye peeled for other sources for you, and will try to swing by and check the inventory level at the shop on Edgware Road on Tuesday.

Cheers!

My Cholula angel! ^

I'm still not mobile, so that's my main barrier to stocking up, but MrLapLap independently mentioned this evening that we were running out and he'd be getting more (he never even saw this thread and I never mentioned it).

Enjoy your time in London and don't worry about my Cholula situation (it's now in hand). But do please PM me if you know you'll be in the Camden area.

I had a surprise Cholula spotting. Searched the CO forum but didn't find anything there. Had *he11* of a time finding this thread again too.

Cholula strikes again!

I like tapatio but that stuff is hard to find in my area.

Cholula is a good competitor ^ I eat it anything one would use it for such as breaded chicken, steak (yes!!), cheap macaroni and cheese... mmmmmmm soo good.

Only have tabasco for the cajun as the sour taste of Cholula doesn't do well in a gumbo if you ask me.

Cholula is awesome! I drank this stuff (JK) with everything when I was in Houston... It's spreading, though - we have it in Ohio at the local Mexican places now!

The green Tabasco is also really tasty!^

Mostly the same for me - can't say just how many years for the Cholula sauce, but knew it long before I found FT. And, as above, the house has several other hot sauces. I used to have a selection of distillates, but got tired of the chemical tounge-stripping effect. Now, it's just sauces with flavor!

Many Mexican restaurants have Cholula so I knew of it before FT.

A bit surprised to see Cholula in Costco on my last trip. Of course, it was a gallon bottle (not!).

I remember seeing Cholula the Poster in the DL forums when I was active there 3 years ago, never have been much a hot sauce person, the mild sauces at Tijuana Flat's was as adventurous as I got, but then CO starting serving this Chicken Fajita Wrap on their flights, accompanied by a small package of Cholula Sauce, Had to Try!! and I am Addicted Now! Can't believe I missed out all of these years, love it on Chicken and Mexican Food and yes the Fries as well!

I'm out in the UK now and I can't find Cholula out here! I had to resort to Tabasco and I nearly gagged. I only do carry on when I hop back and forth, so I can't bring any back with me. The horror!

Not easy to find at all over here

Here's a thread about finding Cholula in London
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=679345

I picked up 20 bottles recently from Asda in Colindale (luckily they were heavily discounted at 78p a bottle ^) which should just last us a year.

My favourite way of eating it is in a sandwich of homemade bread with chips/fries and mayonnaise.

Lately, MrLapLap has taken to customising Miso soup
(recipe was given to us in this thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=785352)
He likes the soup as it is, but I make a huge pot at a time, so it's nice to have variation.

By adding several generous slugs of Cholula he says it takes on a Mediterranean flavour very different to its usual Japanese taste. Basically, it turns it into an entirely different soup.
What I find strangest is that despite the quantity of Cholula we add, in this example the chili heat is barely detectable - a rich tomato/capsicum pepper taste predominates instead.

I had an unusual Cholula spotting last week on my UA flight. Jim Carrey's film "Yes Man" played. I wasn't paying full attention, but perked when I heard his date/gf, the Middle Eastern woman with the head scarf, say "Pass the Cholula." Sure enough. There it was. ^
