So peppery and smoky? I’m trying to get a sense here of the flavor. It sounds like a peppery barbecue sauce. (I’m not trying to be a dick–I’m just trying to figure out what is meant here by the description.)
ETA: AH, nevermind. I ordered it so I’ll find out soon enough. 
Thank you. We now could all be one step closer to winning Final Jeopardy, if we could dredge up the answer in time. This all is an enjoyable trip, Velveeta onward, through a 10,001 item supermarket, and I have been wondering when we would meet Herb Caen. For those reading this revived thread in 2032, or if our shelf life is longer than Velveeta’s, here is a perhaps still-valid link.
Bwah-ha-haaaa.
It’s a tasty hickory smoke sauce with a heavy hand on the black pepper. No sugar or molasses or such. No tomatoes. Just brown, smoky, peppery goodness.
OK. I do a barbecue sauce that sound somewhat like that, though I’m guessing not quite as peppery. I’ll be curious to check it out. Was something like $15 with shipping and handling, but it does say “barbecue concentrate” on it, so hopefully it’ll go far.
It’s pretty intense stuff. I use about a quarter cup with oil and other stuff to coat chicken or tri-tip. A jar should see you through at least four or five recipes.
I’m looking forward to it, being a black pepper lover.
I considered starting a thread like this several months ago. There are several items that I often have trouble finding.
Lard is sometimes in the refrigerated case with the margarine and butter but sometimes in the same aisle as the Crisco and vegetable oil.
Jars of ice cream topping (hot fudge sauce, caramel sauce, etc) are sometimes in the ice cream aisle (or at the end of the aisle) and sometimes in the candy aisle and sometimes in the baking aisle and sometimes in none of those places.
Honey is sometimes with the sugar and molasses and sometimes with the pancake syrup and sometimes neither.
Bouillon cubes should be in the soup aisle, but often aren’t.
Cans and jars of sauerkraut are sometimes with the canned vegetables and sometimes with the pickles and relishes. The plastic bags of sauerkraut are in a refrigerated case but good luck guessing which one.
Candied fruit and dried figs and dates should be with the raisins (if you’re lucky enough to find the raisins) but often they’re off in some random location you’d never think of looking in.
Damn the both of you. So did I. 
Coconut oil doesn’t live with all the other oils. It prefers snuggling up with the popcorn on the other side of the store near coffee.
One big store had all its gluten free food in one section near the door. Very convenient; I could shop really quickly. Then the store was rearranged and the gluten free food was scattered all over the entire store. I changed stores. And I’m still looking for capers.
Any additions to silenus’s curated hot sauce collection for 2017? That Yellowbird Serrano sauce has become my default hot sauce. (At first, it was their habanero, but over time, the green one grew on me.)
Last year I added Dexter Holland’s Gringo Bandito to the rotation. It sounds like a vanity sauce slammed together to satisfy a musician’s whim, but Gustavo Arellano devotes a healthy amount of pages to it in his book Taco USA.
Good stuff. I still live on the Yellowbird Hab though.
Maybe the stocker only knew baking soda as what you add to vinegar to make volcanos. Or clean sinks. Thus, like peanut butter and jelly, they should be shelved together.
I’ve gone on Velveeta quests, I use it in mac & cheese too.
I once found it sitting high atop the meat counter (not even on a shelf, just on top of the display case).
It couldn’t have been more randomly placed.
mmm
Amazon has it for about $25 a six pack.
Bwah ha. And ha.
Happy to have the stuff around to suggest. It was a lesser world while it was gone.
Look with the pickles and olives… at least that’s where I find them.
The best I found was $27 for a 3-pack, and I didn’t want three. Plus there were shipping charges on it, and mine was $15 inclusive. The six pack I can find is $50. I just wanted the cheapest, single bottle I could find.
It comes and goes in pricing. I buy that, and boysenberry jam, in six or so packs and the price varies from around $3-4 a jar to $YuckFoo, sometimes within days.
Lowes stocks the Velveeta next to the spackling paste.
Store cashier here. I know where everything is, mostly because I know the category of every aisle.
Our standard answer to “Where is (whatever)” is “If we have it, it’s in aisle (whatever).” If I really know where it is (about 50& of the time), I give very concise directions “A silverware tray? Aisle 2, in the back on the left.” It’s very impressive, and I used to wonder how people did that.
In other words, get them in the aisle. They’ll probably find something they’ll want to buy.
Yeah, that makes no sense because who puts oil or vinegar in their fridge to eliminate orders?
