[Williammealyea]

I was searching for this too. There are wholesale suppliers that stock 1kg tubs of this at ?12.99. Click Me To See It

I tried to see if costco has it but their website is limited. I imagine they would have it though like all the other ingredients  :

I'm excited about this as both Chilli Prawns & Andy's recipe constitute KNORR VEGETABLE BOUILLON as a BIR ingredient 

*EDIT* Sainsbury's stocks it in granules. I cannot link to it for some reason. Go to there website and look under All gravies and stock  Is this the same as the catering tub stuff?

Hi

You could try the granules. The tubs that are used are available from Bookers or Makro wholesalers

Surely the granules are different to the paste Andy?

These sites are from different countries, so there may be differences -- I don't know. 

The paste has these ingredients (http://www.unileverfoodsolutions.ie/products/portfolio/show/1266-0-1-10405101.knorr_vegetable_bouillon_paste_3x40l.html):

I am not a big fan of products with MSG in them - I wonder if there is an alternative .

I wonder too CC, though the situation right now is that this paste is being used in the two recipes CP(USB) & Andy have posted being used in BIRs. Maybe when we try this and crack "the taste" & "the smell" using this paste, we can then experiment with a paste similar with no MSG. 

I too would prefer No MSG but I got the feeling all BIRs are using it at some stage

Is it the green or yellow one that the bir's use?

perhaps we should buy a big pot and split it up umongst ourselves and see what the results are. A big tub would last me years and likely be gone off by the time I get half way down the pot!
