As of right now, we sell Crystal at the FUSSYlittleSTORE. Can’t get more local than me.

If you actually wanted to go to a store, and you can live with shopping at Walmart, they stock Crystal at the one on Washington Avenue Extension in Albany. You may want to call ahead to make sure it’s in stock. They sometimes run out.

Do you know if Crystal is sold anywhere locally? I’ve heard so much about it, but have never tried it. I have a feeling it would be right up my alley.

Thank you for not forgetting Crystal, Profusser. And here’s a tip: a very acceptable substitute is the “hot sauce” provided in little packets at both KFC and Popeye’s fried chicken places. Just ask when you go in there and after they have thrown a few packets in the bag say “can I have some more”.

Popeye’s is more understanding. They appreciate that their customers like lots and lots of hot sauce. My experience in the Western Addition in San Francisco is that eventually I’d have more hot sauce than chicken in the bag, a pleasing phenomenon.

Fussy, have you had Tiger Sauce? I am always singing its praises on my own blog. It is the Sauternes of hot sauces to use your wine analogy. It is fruity and sweet along with hot. The guy in the following link attempts to clone it. Tiger Sauce Clone Page
