Another thing we did while we were in LA was visit the Tabasco factory on Avery Island. Their tour was disappointing to say the least, but it was a lovely place to visit. The "tour" consisted of viewing a 10 or 15 minute video and walking down a hall beside windows overlooking the factory. There was no tour "guide" except to tell you very briefly about the history of the company then start the film! Being that we were there on a Saturday the factory wasn't working. All in all the day amounted to a very nice ride on a lovely day ... not bad, but not what we expected!
I have absolutely no clue what the significance of this fish is to Tabasco, but he is indeed a colorful character so what the heck! The background in the photo below shows the "country store" where one can purchase anything imaginable with a Tabasco logo on it as well as sample some interesting treats. One of those treats was Tabasco ice cream and it really wasn't bad. One of my favorite discoveries in the south this year was pickled okra and they had it in the store, mildly flavored with, of course, Tabasco - oh yummyness.
The critter below was in what they referred to as the "museum". Again, I have absolutely no clue the significance of it to Tabasco, but an interesting critter it is!
I've loaded photos to do a post about the Lodge we stayed at in MS ~ hmmm it's 3:04 AM and I can't get to sleep (dah, I think it may have been the coffee at 8:00 pm not to mention the two iced coffees around 5:00 pm) so I might start the text for that post now as well!
Stay tuned ...
