I went to Spice Island website and searched for a store in Colorado within 20 miles of where I live that sells beau monde and there isn't any. So I found a recipe to make your own. It is 2 Tbsp Onion Powder, 2 Tbsp Celery Salt and 1 Tbsp Powdered Sugar. TOSS INGREDIENTS IN A JAR WITH 6-10 GRAINS OF RICE (IF YOU LIVE IN A HUMID ENVIRONMENT AND WILL BE OPENING AND SHUTTING JAR A FEW TIMES OVER A COUPLE MONTHS. ) SHAKE IT UP GOOD. The reviews of it said that it tastes like the original and a lot less expensive. I will add more to flour mixture next time for more flavor. I had a problem with the cooking time. I followed the directions and by time I got to the turn every 5 mins for 15 mins my chicken was looking almost burnt. So I did not even do that step and the chicken crust was hard in places but the inside was nice and I could barely taste a hint of the seasoning mix but what I did taste for a second did taste good. I might look for a different recipe or change the cooking time for this one but I want to be able to follow a recipe and it come out like it is supposed to.
