History
The practice of adding chili peppers to sherry dates to the 1600s.[2] Outerbridge Peppers was founded in 1964 by brothers Yeaton and Robbert Outerbridge.[2][5] The Original formed the base of an expanded product line in the following years, including a Bloody Mary mix, mustard, and others. Yeaton Outerbridge had divested in the company by 2004.[1]
Uses
Sherry peppers are a primary condiment served with Bermuda fish chowder. It has also been served with terrapin soup in New Orleans.[6]
