Looking to prototype a batch of sauce for my upcoming startup (again, just under a different name, most like) - need TMS pods... probably a few pounds to start. Don't want mash.
Need the color to be a nice red. Please message me if you are growing any and can supply between 2-4 pounds.
I already registered, but when are the physical entries due? IIRC the form said to enter first, but we can ship the products in after. This is literally an INSANE time of the year for me with all the orders going out to customers. I want to make sure to get the entries in on time. When I go...
I talk with dozens of vendors at shows. From antiques, to food, to woodcrafting, to sauces, to services.

As absurd as that sounds, I understand that marketing with...
peppers, vinegar and salt. the trinity of the Louisiana style is pretty f-n strong. Try a ratio of about 1 pound of peppers, to 2 cups of white vinegar and 10% of that weight in salt.
As usual, I'm a day late on the dealine. I renewed my extreme biz but awaiting manual acceptance lol. Until then my entries are sitting in my cart so I can get my 25% discount.
