LAST WEEK’S TRIVIA ANSWER

I trace my roots back to 1868, when my founder grew a crop of peppers on Avery Island in Louisiana from seeds he had been given. The next year, he produced 658 bottles of hot sauce bearing the label “Tabasco.” Within a decade, the sauce was selling across the U.S. and in Europe. Today I offer several varieties of my sauce, such as green pepper, habanero, Sriracha and buffalo. My sauce has been included in ready-to-eat meals for the military since the 1980s. I’m a privately held company, so you can’t buy shares of me. Who am I? (Answer: McIlhenny Company)
