TABASCO's Country Store
Good day, my friend. My name is Raymond Broussard, and I'm a local historian of sorts. At
least on the subject of TABASCO, the fiery brand of hot pepper sauce
whose story began right down here in south Louisiana and is now chronicled throughout the
world.I first learned about TABASCO sauce many years
ago from my dear friend, Edward Avery McIlhenny or "Mr. Ned," as we
affectionately called him. It was his father, Edmund McIlhenny, who created the first
TABASCO sauce, and Mr. Ned carried on the secret recipe and family tradition.
I'm still close to the McIlhenny family; I guess you can
call me the resident TABASCO expert. The truth is, I love to tell stories about the early
days of this famous hot sauce— from where the pepper plants originated to how the
very first batch of TABASCO sauce was made.
I remember visiting Avery Island many times as a boy, and
again, years later, after Mr. Ned fulfilled his passion for exotic plants with the
extraordinary Jungle Gardens. This beautiful Island is my home now, and I busy myself by
passing on the legend of TABASCO to curious visitors like you. I welcome questions, and
some of the answers may surprise you. The TABASCO story is quite a tale, after all. Let me
tell you about the time..... |
