I used to get the best chili black bean sauce. It was THE BEST. Now no place sells it, and hasn't for months and months. It was called Lao Gan Ma. Does anyone know what happened to it, or where I can get more?

They don't sell it online (that I can find)

Here's the manufacturer's website:

If you can find a way to order them, you'll make my day

They still sell it here, but that’s hardly of any help to you, being about half jizillion miles away.

I always hated Old Dry Mom, though, so I don’t buy it.

Well, I’ve never been much of a chili sauce fan. My ex loved Lao Gan Ma, though, used to eat it all the time. The only chili sauce I’ve ever had that I really liked was in the little shuàncài place at Dongdaqiao bus station. It wasn’t too spicy, and it was mixed with sesame oil and some kind of thick peanut sauce (whose actual name I can’t remember). That was good.
