Mezzeta rocks. A couple of years ago I found two or three big bottles
labeled for, like, $1.29 per, in the dry pantry. Even though the bottles
really look cheap and tawdry I was very plesantly suprised at the fine
flavor and the stuff made excellent steak sauce and marinade. When we ran
out I went to the local Indiana Marsh chainstore, Kroger's, and Mr. D's
supermarkets and even though they carried Mezzeta pickled jalapenos and
veggies, no hab sauce. I even asked Marsh for a custom order but the
stuff was never delivered. Then earlier this summer when we were in Renton
(outside of Seattle) I went to the local Fred Meyer and there it was. I
bought 4 bottles at $1.29. When I got back to my father-in-laws, he said,
"Hey, isn't that the stuff you bought the last time you were out her?"
Mystery solved.
