Yeah. Stubbs sauce was produced in Texas for a long time but they were bought by McCormick* (the spice company) a few years ago. They have the same global distribution powers of any other large commercial food business, so I'm sure they could get Stubbs in whatever country they forecast good demand.
For a large company their sauce is pretty good. We eat it all the time. McCormick seems to have treated it well.
For a (somewhat) large company, McCormick maintains the quality of many products they make.
Yeah I think this has more to do with notion that "Southern Style BBQ" is an American cuisine, and as a result many American brands that own that space are being exported worldwide. The same is true for Tex-Mex related brands gaining popularity all through Europe.
There's not a lot of Japanese people here in Ireland, but you still find Kikkoman soy sauce everywhere.
Exactly. Same for Jack Daniels', etc. I don't get the "surprise!" tone of the article. It's a food item exported and sold around the world, just like so many others have been for decades... :S
