We got up Sunday morning and went over to Avery Island, we went through Baton Rouge, Layfayette, and south of Layfayette 20 miles to Avery Island. This is the home of the Mcllhenny Company TABASCO factory and country store. The pepper plants that are grown on the island are used for seeds to produce more plants. They are shipped to Central and South America and raised there. Then the peppers are shipped back to the USA to be ground and made into TABASCO SAUCE and bottled on Avery Island, Louisiana....USA......
At the Country store I tried a lot of really good products, chili was one of the best. Also tried two different ice creams, one with hot peppers which was not hot just warm, and the other with a smooth pepper flavor, and not hot at all. Manuel didn't try anything... ha ha.
When we left there we went into Lafayette, Louisiana, had lunch and went into the Jean Lafitte National Historical Preserve.
This was the Acadian Cultural Center of the Jean Lafitte National Preserve. The Acadian people that came to America, and pushed out by the government and the hard times that they had.
