Cayenne peppers are impossible to find in the northeast grocery stores. But there is always Tabasco.

You could grow them yourself. Or, order them dried from New Mexico.

Powdered cayenne is available in the spice aisle.

Mail order a can of bear spray. You can spray everybody up at the dinner table :)

Isn't red pepper the same thing as cayenne?

I don’t think cayenne peppers are used in Tabasco sauce. I believe it’s made from Tabasco peppers. Cayenne peppers are about 3 inches long, slender and bright green. Tabasco peppers are short, stubby and light green-to-yellow in color.

commonly called red pepper - they are of the Capsicum genus -

I use it in stir fries, home fries, soups, on meats - you name it.

I've been writing about home/folk remedies for decades - I chuckle when some scientist, usually with a hefty grant "discovers" that this or that plant/herb/spice/recipe that people have been using for hundreds of years = really does work.

Science is starting to catch up with with what 'folk' have been saying for generations. Even Culpeper, back in the 1600's, espoused natural plants: herbs and spices, as a deterrent/cure. He was, of course, maligned by the docs of the day as it cut into their bottom line.

Dates and places change, people don't.
