Well, it's at least my type of store!
Since we live not all that far from Branson, MO, sometimes we head up to Branson Landing. It's not exactly my typical kind of place, since it's kind of ritzy, kind of expensive, and kind of touristy... and I'm, well... not.
That doesn't mean that we can't have a good time there, or that it is not a worthwhile trip. Generally speaking, though, I'm not really much of a shopper. However, there is one store...
THE PEPPER PALACE
Wall to wall hot sauces, but that's not all! I love this store. There are so many peppery things to enjoy here. Some days, I wish that I could try them all. Speaking of trying them....
They have a hot sauce tasting "bar" full of sample after sample! How cool is that? It's a little bit of spicy "try before you buy!" Trust me, I like to try!
Featuring wonderful pepper varieties in the sauces like the Ghost pepper, the Carolina Reaper, and others, a lot of my garden friends are represented here. It was the perfect "dessert" after a wonderful meal that we got to enjoy with my mom and 
While the ladies were looking in some other stores, 
It was a wonderful time exploring different hot sauce options, taste testing a number of varieties, and just being happy in such a spicy environment. Thankfully, I did not leave empty-handed.
PAPA'S PURCHASES
I don't brown bag things like used to, since I gave up the bottle about a decade ago, but they did have a few sauces that resembled fifths of liquor. While I don't want to misrepresent anything, the shape of that particular bottle style is very easy to carry in your pocket.
Having a bottle of hot sauce on you isn't always a bad idea. I'll have to try to figure out what things I can forage for in the wild that go good with hot sauce!
In the end I purchased three, but didn't sample any of them yet. I'm certainly looking forward to it and think that I've got some interesting flavors to check out in the near future.
