Spice Up Your Go-Kit

Mini-Tabasco Bottles Turn Slop into Spicy Slop!So what good is surviving the emergency if the food you are given makes you wish you hadn’t? OK, that’s overdoing it, but the fact remains that the food offered responders during an incident can vary from steak to MREs, tasty to tasteless.

What’s a responder to do?

Tabasco is a well-known way to add taste to tasteless, at least for people who enjoy the heat. And because it is available in tiny bottles, Tabasco is easy to carry in your Go-Kit. I found these 1/8-oz. bottles at Cost Plus, where they are intended for use in food baskets, but BevMo also sells them, and you can order them from the Tabasco.com site. Cost is $4-$5 for a six-pack.
