Tabasco: Condiment of Champions

My family is in love with all things Tabasco. Literally...we consume way too much of it.  In fact, every Christmas my parents give us a gift basket of McIlhenny products that will generally last us through the year.  Our perennial favorites? The Tabasco Spicy Mayonnaise and the Tabasco Garlic/Grilling Marinade (this marinade is seriously the best McIlhenny product there is...you must go try now with all your summer grilling).   

With Summer now in full swing we recently stocked up on fresh tomatoes on our recent trip to the farmer's market - and nothing says fresh tomatoes like B.L.Ts. Actually, nothing says Summer like B.L.Ts. 

Now, I am not much of a mayo fan...in fact I don't typically eat mayonnaise on sandwiches unless it is mixed in with other food (chicken salad, pimento cheese, etc.) But, I do make an exception when it comes to Tabasco spicy mayo as this mayo tends to make everything better.  For our B.L.T-fest I used both the Spicy Mayonnaise and the Chicago Fire Mustard (from our gift basket, of course) on my sandwich.

addition, of course - so really a B.L.T.C



I promise, this isn't a paid endorsement for Tabasco...I am just a little passionate about how good it is! So, if you are going to waste your calories on a mayonnaise make sure it is the Tabasco Spicy Mayonnaise.  It doesn't just make B.L.Ts better it makes everything better.  I tend to mix a little bit of it in with my regular mayo when making chicken salads, pimento cheeses, deviled eggs and even egg salad.
