    Interesting…I reached out to the Hoyts spice guys because I wants my damned chicken sprinkle umami and…

    We are waiting on the go ahead to range this product once again in the major supermarkets.
    We anticipate that a decision will not be made till early next year now.
    Sorry, that I cannot be more specific, however the decision rests on the procurement team of the 2 majors.

    fucking. Colesworth.

      The independent Four Cousins supermarket at Parkdale Plaza (corner of Nepean and White Street in Mordi) has a great range of 'erbs and spices, including Hoyts.

        so does my local foodworks, and Europa up the road,…but they have no chicken sprimks. It’s all a game of volume and those fuckers hold the stakes. shakes angry fist at the sky

            sound the horn if sprinks be found. I’ve been all over the southeast with no joy.

            (Although I did find a local that stocks kilo bags of various pizza herbs that His Lordship will go fucking ham on with his ooni)

              Hey, just got back and sorry to say they didn’t have any either. There wasn’t even an empty space on the Hoyts display rack where sprinkles would be. They did have the Fancy Hanks brand chicken salt, but I suppose that’s not the same thing?

      Translation : Hoyts weren’t willing to pay an extra fee for shelf space in colesworth. Bidding wars suck from a consumer’s perspective. Just fine fine fine for colesworth.
      I’ll check Piedmonte’s on the way home today - curious about this sprinkle myself.

        it is fucking delicious I don’t know what they put in there, but the texture is absolute top notch. It’s godly on popcorn and you could just about drown a parm in that stuff with zero regrets
