@LTJL2024 @hw97karbine @lennylaw Interesting book I need to buy.

[Jagdpanthercat🐱 @meanassdevilcat]

@hw97karbine @lennylaw It comes from the victors writing the history.

[Jagdpanthercat🐱 @meanassdevilcat]

@hw97karbine @lennylaw This true not only for the Italians, but the French as well.

@oldguy_steve We know the answer to that question.😄

@BWLH_ Nobody should be taxed owning property.

[Jagdpanthercat🐱 @meanassdevilcat]

@innocuous_anon @BWLH_ True.

[Jagdpanthercat🐱 @meanassdevilcat]

@BWLH_ I wonder if that is the "Creative Loafing" reporter who appealed to the "Reverend" Joseph Lowery to save him from the rioting blacks? Lowery told him "I can't help you." The reporter got his ass beaten and later forgave the attackers.🙄

@MargoinWNC @thomasbsauer The best reason not to engage in wars of choice, especially wars fought on behalf of foreign nations like Israel.

In 1868, a bankrupt Louisiana banker with a ruined plantation and no income took some pepper seeds of unknown origin, mixed the mash with salt mined from underneath his own property, aged it in barrels, and bottled it in cologne bottles because manufacturing specialty glass after the Civil War was impossible.

That bottle shape has not changed in 156 years...

Edmund McIlhenny had lost almost everything in the Civil War. His banking career was gone. The Avery Island plantation he had married into was destroyed. When his family returned in 1865 they found the fields in ruin and allegedly a few volunteer chile plants still surviving in the wreckage. Nobody knows exactly how McIlhenny obtained the Capsicum frutescens pepper seeds that became the foundation of his sauce.

What is documented is that he crushed the ripened peppers into a mash with rock salt mined from the natural salt dome underneath Avery Island, aged the mash in barrels, blended it with French white wine vinegar, strained it through cloth and bottled it in small cologne-type bottles with sprinkler fitments, sealed in green wax. Workers on the plantation used small red sticks called le petit bâton rouge to identify peppers at exactly the right stage of ripeness. In 1869 he sent exactly 658 bottles to grocers along the Gulf Coast at one dollar apiece. He secured a patent in 1870, and the sauce sold out immediately.

Manufacturing specialised glass was essentially impossible in the post-Civil War South so McIlhenny used what was available. The sprinkler fitment on a cologne bottle turned out to be the perfect delivery mechanism for a concentrated pepper sauce best applied in dashes rather than poured. That practical wartime improvisation became one of the most recognisable pieces of packaging in the world. The original recipe, Tabasco peppers, Avery Island salt and vinegar, has not changed in 156 years. The salt still comes from underneath the same island. Every pepper seed used in production worldwide still originates from Avery Island.

A bankrupt banker's post-Civil War improvisation, bottled in repurposed cologne bottles, became one of the most globally distributed food products in history.

@HarmlessYardDog On the table. Take it from me, a cat. It's cats who are bad about lying on top of the cushions and messing them up.
