Yesterday evening George and I had dinner at a place called Fresh Eats, or something like that, a restaurant that makes fresh food into sandwiches and salads. I had the Miami Beach roll up, which was chicken and avacado and red peppers, and George had the Muffalatta, which is a New Orleans sandwich made with ham, cheese and olives, and crushed into a cuban type sandwich.
Afterwards we went to BJ's to get Fruit 2-0 for me and we couldn't resist buying this 12 ounce bottle of Tobasco sauce. We went to Avery Island, Louisiana a couple of years ago and toured the Tobasco factory and saw them crushing the tiny red peppers into a sauce. The ingredients are simple: vinegar, red pepper and salt. Simple. This company has been making pepper sauce since the Civil War! It is quite a historic company and very interesting to read about. We like Tobasco better than all other hot sauces we have tried. Some people are absolute fanatics about pepper sauce.
It is fun adding a splash of red pepper sauce to your eggs in the morning, or to the potato salad, or just about anything but your cereal. Just looking at this big bottle in our kitchen reminds us of the fun we had in Avery Island, Louisiana, where the dew point is high and the weather is almost as hot as the sauce.
Have a great day.
