Tabasco is a brand of hot sauce made from tabasco peppers (Capsicum frutescens var. tabasco), vinegar, and salt. It is produced by McIlhenny Company of Avery Island, Louisiana.
Over the years, travelers far more seasoned than myself have given me advice on two really cool key items to pack. One is a bottle of Tabasco because you can add it to any food and make it taste relatively interesting.
