my mom started me out the same way, actually, It was my older brother and sister trying to play a prank on me their four year old litter brother, I loved those mini dills on crackers,so they put those trappy's Tabasco peppers soaking in vinegar on a couple of crackers and told me they were pickles, I guess they were kind of deflated when I ate them and ask for more then my mom had to start buying two bottles every time she went to the store one for her and one for me, course now I grow several Tabasco every year and make my own!bigSTU said:Age 4: Fave Snack....Tabasco and Saltines
