Pickapeppa Sauce - where to find in Mtl?

[Haggisboy]

Anybody know where one can find Pickapeppa Sauce from Jamaica here in Montreal? Particularly the Western end or West Island? I know there's a store in the Atwater market that sells the stuff, but I was wondering if it's available in any other ethnic grocers or chain supermarket branches, at lower than the premium boutique price.

BTW - if you like HP or A1, this is superior. Much more mellow.

Marche Shavitz on Victoria just north of Van Horne has it.

A few months ago one of the shops near the cheese shop on the east side of the Jean Talon market had it.

That would be La Dépense. They carry several -- classic sauce, hot sauce, two chutneys.

I just bought some at the Douceurs du Marché (aka "The wall of hot sauce across from the wall of olive oil") at the Atwater market.

Hey, we just might have crossed paths, not to mention the shop owner must be wondering why he's suddenly had such a run on the Pickapeppa today.

I gave up after visiting two Walmarts and three Super C's. Without being tipped off that it was in stock (which I was hoping would happen here), I just wasn't about to invest the time in visiting a bunch of small ethnic groceries in the "hope" that they'd have it in stock. So in the end I just sucked it up and went to the Douceurs du Marche. I'm quite pleased, however, to find that not only are they charging a fairly reasonable price ($2.99 per bottle), but that they have the entire, newly expanded Pickapeppa line which includes a bonafide hot sauce, and two different mango-based chutneys.

Updating an old thread, I've been informed that for those living on the West Island, Marche Kim Hoa, located at 4843 Boul. Des Sources, now stocks Pickapeppa.

It's also available at Marche Colonnade - 4850 Rene Emard in Pierrefonds. The store has a wide range of spices and sauces and various foods from all the Islands in the Carribean..

Thank you. As a west islander, I appreciate the tip.

[Deirdre1]

Glad I could help. When I went to Marche Kim Hoa they were out of the Pickapepper (it is on back order) but Marche Colonnade had a lot of it on the shelves.They charge $2.79 for a 5 ounce bottle.

I've bought Pickapeppa at the Walmart in La Salle.

Doesn't Super C have this sauce in their "international aisle"?

[Haggisboy]

Checked the international aisle of my local Super C and while they carry some eclectic stuff - no Pickapeppa. Sigh. I may have to check out other Super C outlets, or make the trek to the Atwater market, which I was hoping to avoid.

I admit I've never tried the sauce, but that label sure jumps out at you when you DO see it. Theres a few Caribbean and Indian grocers in LaSalle who, I assume carry it (I'll check next time around).
Although primarily Greek, Adonis at the Cotes-Vertu mall has alot of other ethnic stuff, maybe give them a try?
