Tabasco

Cayenne cousin condiment

Tabasco is a trademark for a pungent hot sauce made from tabasco peppers, vinegar, and salt.

The brand name has become nearly generic for Louisiana-style hot sauce: a few dashes of Tabasco.

The sauce originated in Louisiana but takes its name from the Mexican state where the peppers were first cultivated.
