You mean that there are people that DON'T have Tabasco around ALL THE TIME? Lately I like the Chipotle version a lot.

A cousin of mine liked the Garlic flavored version and couldn't find it in his Georgia home town. I had to buy him 6 large bottles of it and UPS it to him. It was an emergency!

I've also got the large bottles of Italian herbs (from Costco) and plenty of other herbs. Lavender pepper is good. Also cumin and cinnamon and maybe some curry paste.

Nice to see the Winchester Defenders here. I bought one of those in LA after a break in attempt at my loft. Kept it loaded in a built in hiding place. Bought another one for my Dad too. Got em on sale at Big 5 Sporting Goods for $139. each.

Well, I don't really like tabasco, but some MREs truely demand it.

Plain old ketchup is good to have, also, and I've developed a taste for curry ketchup, something I first ran into in Germany. My commisary stocks it, but I don't know if anyone else does. Try it, if you can, you'll probably like it.

The tabasco company homepage says production of tobasco is not affected by the hurricane, although most of their website is...so we are safe for doctoring up food...;-)
