Dave in front of the Tabasco Art.
Well, today Dave & I made a trip to Avery Island over by New Iberia, La. It was a gorgeous day, we didn't even need a jacket We went to the tabasco factory and did the tour thing and it was very interesting. Didn't realize that they buy all the used Jack Daniels barrels and then they use them for the Tabasco sauce. They grow the peppers on the Island just for the seeds and then grow the peppers in Latin America for the sauce and ship them here on the same day as they are picked. In the little movie thing they said they grow them there because of the longer growing season but if the truth be known , I think it is because of the cheaper labor, you know corporate America. At the little gift shop, we tasted some Tabasco Ice Cream and believe me IT WAS NASTY! They gave us some free samples of the hot stuff which we sent to Clint since he likes to drink the stuff. Dave got a LSU hat and T-shirt for under 20.00 here, unbelievable huh? We each got a stick of boudin (rice sausages) and went out and sat on the veranda under the big oak trees and ate lunch. It was really nice.
