Trappey's Red Devil is made by Trappey's Fine Foods of New Iberia, LA.
Same town as Tabasco, and may, in fact, be owned by Tabasco (McIlhenny).
But, they retain their own identity and are still packaging the veggies
and other items. I have several cans of Trappey's Field Peas, etc. in my
cupboard.
I prefer Trappey's to Tabasco as it is not so sour and vinegary. And my
local Odd Lots had a shelf full of quarts at 79c/qt. I bought all the
had.
Louisiana Hot Sauces are made by Bruce Foods, Inc. .... not McIlhenny
ENJOY!!!
