I've checked the local supermarkets in my area but no luck. Nothing on the online grocery sites either. Has anyone noticed it anywhere? Thanks. S Wed Oct 24 01:07:24 -0700 2007 10146 CTownFeedR 1 3061818 For reference... Wed Oct 24 01:09:04 -0700 2007 3061817 10146 CTownFeedR 2 3062011 Might be a stretch but a place like Whole Foods(Kensington High Street) I think might have it. There used to be a place in Chelsea that sold American foods. What part of town are you in? areas with large numbers of Americans you'll have a better chance of finding it. Since you're living in London no doubt you'll be getting lots of visitors. Have the next one bring over a bottle or two. Safely packed in the checked luggage. http://meandmyfork.blogspot.com Wed Oct 24 05:41:47 -0700 2007 3061818 23758 Withnail42 3 3075609 Thanks, I'll check out Whole Foods next time I'm there. S Mon Oct 29 02:29:14 -0700 2007 3062011 10146 CTownFeedR 4 3077672 You might also try Partridge's on the Kings Road near Duke of York square. Perhaps downstairs at Harrod's might have it. Mon Oct 29 14:40:13 -0700 2007 3075609 23758 Withnail42 1 3075669 Oh, you poor dear! I simply love Frank's Red Hot, use it all the time, but unfortunately I live in the U.S. They do have a website, I think it's franksredhot.com, ( I could be wrong), but maybe they'll ship you some if they learn of your plight. Good luck!! Mon Oct 29 05:08:29 -0700 2007 3061817 138371 yougomoto 2 3079145 Thanks for the kind words. I've just had a biz trip requested by my clients in NY for next week. Hello half filled suitcase and space for plenty 'o Franks. S Tue Oct 30 06:41:37 -0700 2007 3075669 10146 CTownFeedR 1 3089332 It might be easier just to make up the recipe yourself. Get the list of ingredients (can't be that many) and make the sauce from scratch. I used to like the sauce myself but then I discovered Texas Pete... Fri Nov 02 10:34:42 -0700 2007 3061817 80084 Chow Penguin 1 3244588 Haha. I'm a New Yorker in Oxfordshire with the same problem. You can sometimes get it at selfridges food hall, but it's also available mail order from a few places: http://www.americansweets.co.uk/franks-red-hot-sauce-163-c.asp Wow, now I'm fiending for wings. P.S. - Regarding the comment below about making it yourself, normally I'm all for that, but hot sauces like this are all about the process, i.e., fermentation/cure. etc., so if the real thing is available, I wouldn't attempt to make them any more than I would attempt to "make" prosciutto de parma or armagnac. Sat Dec 29 06:53:37 -0800 2007 3061817 152984 szep_ilona 2 3246523 Thanks for this. I brought back a stash from my trip to NYC for Christmas but this site will help when I run out. S Sun Dec 30 03:45:16 -0800 2007 3244588 10146 CTownFeedR 3 3248721 I sure you can find a suitable substitute for your wings in one of the main supermarkets (ASDA, Tesco or Waitrose). They all carry a large range of marinades and sauces for meats, especially Waitrose who stock a more gourmet selection. Mon Dec 31 02:11:08 -0800 2007 3246523 139648 Nii 4 3249636 You'd think that (I did) but honestly, having tried a variety of sauces already, they just don't turn out right without Franks. Mon Dec 31 11:13:27 -0800 2007 3248721 10146 CTownFeedR 1 3248965 I was walking through Maylebone a couple of weeks ago when I passed a place that claimed it specialized in American goods. It was closed at the time and unfortunately the name escapes me. I'll see if I can dig it up. Mon Dec 31 07:02:11 -0800 2007 3061817 23758 Withnail42 2 4418828 FOUND IT IN LONDON!! Sainsbury in Vauxhall stocks them...What a sweet day... Sun Feb 15 07:17:56 -0800 2009 3248965 267002 Slappywag 3 4419054 Awesome news. I guess I can no longer say that Vauxhall's only redeeming quality is Hot Stuff... Sun Feb 15 08:56:02 -0800 2009 4418828 10146 CTownFeedR 4 4423018 It's sold in Waitrose, as well as ASDA. Mon Feb 16 16:49:38 -0800 2009 4419054 139648 Nii 3 4419717 Waitrose in Holloway Road (Nags Head, North London N7) has Franks. I was in there on Friday and stared at the bottles thinking "do I need this just in case?!" Didn't get any but sure I will next time! Sun Feb 15 14:04:07 -0800 2009 4418828 35073 themags 4 4419776 yeah waitrose has had it for a while Sun Feb 15 14:30:36 -0800 2009 4419717 142333 t_g 5 4420845 Not only that, I just checked Ocado and they are now selling it there as well (which they were not when I originally posted this). Happy days. Mon Feb 16 01:17:51 -0800 2009 4419776 10146 CTownFeedR 1 4420999 I love Franks Red Hot and by chance Sainsburys Magazine (which I always buy) has a voucher for money off this month. I usually get it in Waitrose or Whole Foods (which is of course more expensive!) Glad you found it :) Mon Feb 16 05:27:08 -0800 2009 3061817 190012 iheartcupcakes 1 4424650 I think yankee soda have it Tue Feb 17 08:45:07 -0800 2009 3061817 267583 Ruth2009 1 4424884 Whole Foods in Kensington definitely has it. Tue Feb 17 09:35:57 -0800 2009 3061817 36075 abryan 1 4434862 You can get it in most Tesco's or Sainsburys now. I have a stock of bottles from local supermarkets, from here in the wilds of the Derbyshire Peak District Regards the cooking of the Wings, do people fry or bake? I have been baking, under the possibly unfounded assumption that it's not as unhealthy Fri Feb 20 02:33:44 -0800 2009 3061817 128875 portseven 2 4435088 The authentic 'Buffalo wings,' from whence they originated (I think) are actually fried first and then coated in the sauce. You can find some instructions on Wiki. I'm from NY and never knew that. I would have thought they were just baked. Fri Feb 20 06:09:40 -0800 2009 4434862 11939 zuriga1 3 4435953 Deep fried, then coated in sauce is the appropriate method. A note on deep frying. If you use a healthy oil such as canola and do not re-use the oil, frying is not that unhealthy. S Fri Feb 20 10:03:48 -0800 2009 4435088 10146 CTownFeedR 4 4436619 I've never made my own but did see Frank's today at my local Tesco. I'm pondering..... Fri Feb 20 12:57:01 -0800 2009 4435953 11939 zuriga1 1 4437438 Heals on Tottenham Court Road has all the flavors! I saw them yesterday. Fri Feb 20 16:38:38 -0800 2009 3061817 14921 Just One Bite 1 4877876 You can get Franks Redhot from americansweets.co.uk. If you're used to buying it in the US you'll be apalled at the price, but, the even sell gallons of the stuff. Tue Jul 21 12:14:58 -0700 2009 3061817 1095537 kindally 2 4878379 Panzer's at St. John's Wood has quite a few American products, too, but I didn't see Franks there on a recent visit. I did see A-1 steak sauce.... and Bacos. I left the Bacos on the shelf because they were £2.95. :-) Tue Jul 21 14:27:51 -0700 2009 4877876 11939 zuriga1 2 4882032 Seen Frank's Red Hot in Asda, Tesco & Sainsburys of late. Not exactly hard to get hold of, Wed Jul 22 15:12:32 -0700 2009 4877876 227386 Sosa Hudds 3 4883403 Not now, no. 20 months ago when this post was made it was a different story.
