Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

bitter?? Don't tell me that.... We had a bunch of albinos in the box of habs that just went into the elixir for the chocolate!
tinner666 said:
Lol, well, fwiw, the chocolate turned out as sweet as ever, so I'm thinking that the bitter one was just a fluke.
I don't recall ever biting into a hab and thinking it was bitter. Course, I don't normally bite directly into them, unless I'm the one at the vegetable exchange doing the buying.

The 'vegetable exchange'. Is that some sort of weird Tupperware party?

Actually, it's where we buy peppers. Some of us use more peppers than we can grow.
We're not McIlhenny, ya know.
That got me wondering. Tabasco is made on Avery Island in Louisiana. After Katrina, does anyone know if Avery Island still exists??? Granted Tabasco is mainstream, and not very good, but I would hate to see a historic company like that get wiped off the planet.

The headquarters is on Avery Island.
Nick posted news release that McIlhenny sent out right after Katrina, they're fine. I think they lost some stock, but nowhere near enough to hurt them for any length of time. These guys are huge!
You should see their facilities on Googlearth.

They actually get the bulk of their peppers from south america now. The island just wasnt big enough to produce what they needed so I'm sure they are ok.DEFCON Creator said:
*edit* I don't care for the original Tobasco but their habanero and chipotle version work for me.

Which would explain why they weren't hurt much.

The major hit Avery Island took was from the loss of tourisn & historic pieces. Like P said, most of the peppers come from international shipments and Tabasco has reported that all their people are safe.
Not to mention that McIlhenny/tabasco ages their mash for two years, unless their facility got hit they are in good shape and have mucho barrels of reserve. not to mention the warehouses full of the juice ready to ship.

You'll be pleased to know that regardless of gas prices, we're not raising ours.
Tobasco didn't really raise their prices did they?
No they didn't, that I know of(I don't buy it anyway)
I was just mocking the 7 billion profits the OC's made and blamed it on the hurricanes.
Gas is going back down though, it was $2.12 this morning here.

It is going down here too. Although, since we don't import oil from you guys, we got "ripped off" more than you guys did. But then I live in a parliamentary democracy; we're used to that.
