Barranquilla shopping Where to get Lea and Perrins

Hi .. anyone know of any specialty food shops in Barranquilla ....eg .. where can I buy lea and Perrins....etc ...yes you can get all these things in Bogota y Medellin but here on the coast it is really hit and miss....

The shop that had lea y perrins ran out and will not order anymore...same thing with wasaba y other spices.....they also had an imported Satay sauce that was great but alas no more...

So if anybody knows of good shops in Barranquilla pls tell me....

mmmmmmmm-I am sure i have seen it somewhere. As was mentioned above, the stocks go quickly and are not replaced. No specialty food shops but try the supermarkets......Pomona and Carulla. They are the more pupi ones.

Will have a look for you

when you say lea and Perrins do you mean Worcestershire Sauce,as they make many others ,
if its Worcestershire Sauce you want you can get it most places
fruco do it called salsa inglasa ,and its just as good.

Thanks everyone .....Yes I have learnt the trick that when you see something you want ..BUY IT ALL....i had bought all the lea and Perrins worcestshire sauce and they never restocked it ....They were telling me next week ..and on .... that was 3 months ago...

Same thing in Carrefour ....they had an own brand tomato salsa that was fantastic and a good mustard ..but alas no more in Carrefour either...

Next time I see these products I am going to buy the whole lot ....and then post here that I have it all........

Smile and everyone will wonder what they are missing.
