spice island brand spices?

Question

Has anyone seen Spice Island brand spices recently? I know that they (Burns Philp, San Fran) bought out the Tones (aka Durkee) name in the 90s, and now I never see a display for Spice Island anywhere. What I am looking for is their Fines Herb blend (I need for a 3 bean salad recipe) and also especially their Beau Monde seasoning, an important ingredient in a "secret" steak marinade that I occaisionally pass on, but the recipients can't find this specific spice anywhere. I'm wondering if the Tones or Durkee is exactly the same, but I doubt it.

Answer

Googling....

Answer

I've been unable to find the Spice Islands Fine Herbes for years, and have several recipes that use it. I've tried cobbling together my own based on several recipes, but it doesn't taste the same as the Spice Islands version.
 
I have been hording the little bit I have remaining. The link provided by Karl S. is great - but.....it also says "new formula!" on the Order page for Fine Herbes, which leads me to believe they've altered it enough that it just isn't going to be the same. But I may have to order some just to check.

Answer

Penzey's carries a "Fines Herbes" Blend. They also have a variety of different mixed spice blends -- I bet they carry something comparable to "Beau Monde" -- call and ask.

Answer

My local Kroger here in Bloomington, IN stocks Spice Islands. I can check to see if they have what you are lookkng for and get a price and send them to you if you wish. E-mail me if you would like for me to check into it.

Answer

You can order Beau Monde and other Spice Island items on-line from NiceSpices@AOL.com.
Cost for Beau Monde is $4.99 per bottle, plus shipping of $6.95 if order is less than $25, or for $5.95 if order is between $25 and $29, I think
