Probably because they are hybrids and the parents are closely held by the family. They only send the seed, which if not produced by crossing with original parents will not produce a pepper that can be used.

You’ve obviously never eaten an MRE. A couple of drops in an MRE Entree makes ALL the difference. . .

"Tabasco sauce is what people who have lost their sense of taste use to make their tongues feel something. Any cook who relies on Tobasco sauce is an absolute hack."

Malarkey. Tabasco is like any other condiment, it can be (and often is) overused. People have this notion that Creole/Cajun food has to be fiery hot. GOOD Cajun cookery isn't hot, but at most mildly warm.

I prefer Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning to Tabasco, but use both. My wife is half Cajun and an excellent cook...she uses both.

" Why would the seeds have to be produced in the U.S.? "

It probably has to do with quality control on the final product. I'm sure it helps to have genetic control of the product precursor.

Do you remember Isle De Jean Charles....when those people had to leave, the New York Times ensured it was front page news and used the term “CLIMATE REFUGEES IN AMERICA” . THe people were told not to settle in that area in the 50s due to the constant changing of the Mississippi River channeling. Once an area fails to receive the silty annual deposits, it will sink. The boot is changing, and it is not climate change. It is simply mans interaction with the environment and natural alluvial processes.

Q: What is the difference between Chicken Little and Oliver Milman?

A: One is an overly dramatic, hysterical, panicky, alarmist and the other is a chicken.

Let’r rip...Global warming that is that might swallow up Avery Island hot sauce. Sriracha and ten others are much better. Though I kinda like their Tabasco green hot sauce.

Tabasco = way overpriced for what it really is and the owners are probably Obama voters anyway. Time has passed it (Tabasco) by.

The Cajuns cook okra wrong. Steam it until tender then toss in a bowl with a little oil and salt. Put lid on the bowl for a minute to let the salt cook in a bit. Then eat. oil can be omitted or use butter instead but some salt is needed. Fresh ground black pepper will enhance it.

Somehow I missed hearing about Isle de Jean Charles (have to read about it retroactively).

I grew up in South Louisiana in part of the time frame and in the areaa that the lower Mississippi River control system was being built.

WE agree with the silty deposit cause...but the lack is really due to mans intervention into a natural process, and is fixable (and NOT by blowing up all the levees and letting the full volume of the Mississippi channelize into the Atchafalaya).

Louisiana’s sinking... their problems have NOTHING to do with the lie about global warming. If this was caused by sea level raising it would also effect Tampa Florida... AND it’s NOT.

I wonder WHY temperatures were always adjusted DOWNWARD until the global warming scam started?

Genetics.

Also, more peppers are required than can be produced on the island. the product purity is maintained by providing seed

LOL. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to cook okra. IMO, okra as a separate dish is completely unpalatable no matter how cooked (my mother loved the stuff, so it was served often). In gumbo, OTOH it is great.

My kids used to yank okra off the plant and eat it raw.

Try the habanero Tabasco Sauce. It’s even better.

As long as it doesn’t wipe out the Tabasco Film Company of Havana, Cuba.
