Having just returned from my local hot sauce connection -- i.e.,
Marshall's off-price department store -- I am in possession of
one 5-ounce (148 ml) bottle of "The Brutal Bajan" imported from
Garden Row Foods in Franklin Park, Illinois. :)
Possibly not as authentic, but quite tolerable for a Habanero
based hot sauce with mustard, onion, garlic, turmeric and
paprika as the complementing spices.
As with most of the hot sauces at Marshall's, one can't complain
about the price: $1.99
Of course, a trip to Barbados would be more fun.
Cheers,

PS: My thanks to the Chilehead on this list who first mentioned
the fact that Marshalls carries these kind of things in their
gourmet food department. I had always thought of them as only
a clothing store.
