Nachos of the Month: Tabasco Pecan Crab Dip

Posted on 2015-11-17 by tikichris

Hey folks. I’m reviving my Nachos of the Month series to share a recipe to accompany the launch of Manomasa’s Cantina Chips. Just like the type of chips you’d get at the start of a meal at a cantina in Mexico and most Mexican restaurants in the States – these are the UK’s first packaged Cantina chips, and launched into Whole Foods recently in 200g packs (RRP £2.49).

Dixie Detours: Tabasco Tourism on Avery Island

Posted on 2014-03-01 by tikichris

Louisiana’s most iconic brand, McIlhenny Company’s Tabasco brand Original Red Sauce packs a wallop of distinctively spicy flavour. For all its flavoursome punch, it’s comprised of only three natural ingredients: aged red peppers, vinegar and salt from Avery Island, which is also the home of all Tabasco production.

Our last day in Louisiana, Kemey and I spent a fantastic morning on Avery Island before carrying on with our Dixie Detours road trip. Here are some highlights from the fun time we had there.
