Sriracha shipment....

[Kracken McGraw]

Whataburger hamburger chain has spicy ketchup which is just ketchup with some Tabasco or some knockoff of Tabasco blended in. It’s really good with fries.

My grocery store carries it and it is pretty good sometimes. We buy their regular type ketchup all the time now. I think regular has the red label and spicy looks the same with a black label.

Send me a link to the chili paste.

Here are two pics of the outside of the container. This jug's got the "call-the-coroner" type, not the merely hot variety. At this store, they've got tiny containers, this size, and then ones about triple this size. And they've got at least three different brands/types of such stuff, in that store. Great place to shop.





Really tasty stuff. A little sweet, for my tastes. But spreading just a bit over, say, a tortilla, or a teaspoon of the stuff in a soup or meat dish completely changes the flavor profile and heat. Deviled eggs made with this stuff can become truly amazing, along with omelettes, any sort of grilled chicken or beef. That is, if you like it hot. It's sort of like a spicy chili-based barbecue sauce, more or less. Very thick, about the consistency of peanut butter.

The only real downside is: like many such items it's packed with sodium. Most are, given that the maker needs to create shelf life. This one is the lowest-sodium variety in the store; the worst one has about triple the sodium this one does. Still, a little goes quite a long way.

Ought to be able to find it in any well-stocked Korean or "Asian" grocery that has a lot of chili pastes and oils, jarred fermented foods, etc.

We blew through this jar in a week, it reminded me of chili paste we get at a local Thai restaurant View attachment 1467587

I've got a good recipe book for fermented hot sauces, I can send you a pic of a recipe later if you want.

I have to admit, I'm not a Sriracha fanatic like a lot of people.

After seeing a news article about bottles of the stuff going for $100 in some areas, I took a closer look at an 88 Ranch (or whatever it was) while I was in line to check out. A display had the large (14, 16 oz?) bottles for $9. No limit, as far as I could tell. The display was a case with the top cut away, 12 bottles still there. Appears to be no run on the stuff here in the East Bay area.

I like to use it to cook with, it's great when sautéing asparagus or fresh green beens in EVO, fresh garlic and a few shots of Sriracha. Or a kick stir fry ,cut up ribeye steak into chunks , throw in hot pan or wok with some butter, avocado oil and some Sriracha and sear real quick! Dam I making myself hungry. They also make a Sriracha Chili Garlic Paste thats real good. Gotta love some Red Rooster!

A couple of years ago the city shut down the Sriracha plant because the surrounding neighbors were complaining about their eyes burning and other problems. It was shut down for quit a while until they found a way to correct the problem. There was a run on it then too, people went nuts, I think thats why people are going crazy now.

I seen this awhile back. The jalapeno version is half the price.
It needs onion added though for the chicken.

I think I need to pickle some garlic, with balsamic, and get a tub
of Serrano's and pickle them also. Make my own version. Winters
coming......

Won't buy any Heinz products.

I like spicy and hot, and Sriracha is ok for a marinade for vegatables, but for my money nothing beats Marie Sharps (especially the smoked habrnero) from Belize. If you haven't tried it, you should. Cheers

There’s a shortage of chili peppers.

Having grown up in Louisiana, I’m a hot sauce addict, but I never developed a taste for siracha.

Im a million miles for Louisiana but I also never developed a liking for it even though I love hot sauce/chilies but I discovered this guy a couple weeks ago and love it

More like about 10 years ago, I think. I don't know what ended up happening, but the shutdown didn't last all that long.

I just watched a documentary of the original rooster brand sriracha u all talking about. I will NEVER buy a bottle of that maker's product again. He totally screwed over his main usa farmer supplier family who got him going when he found out he could get it cheaper elsewhere due to over supply. And he even flew drones over the family's farm to document grow techniques of the guy he broke contact with and gave the films to the new farmers he was grooming to grow for him. The siracha guy lost in court and then lost in appeal. $20m plus. That farmer family who the siracha guy tied to screw are now getting payback by producing their own siracha, as it has no trademark.

I like Siracha, especially on popcorn.

I was gifted a can of smoked clams to snack on . I dumped just about
all the packing oils, and dipped them in siracha. Hunting buddy of
mine loves his sardines soaked in 'Frank's". I'll have to get him to
try the siracha.

Just made some pepper sauce from cayenne that were fermented 2 weeks. A slice of tomato, garlic and a touch of cinnamon blended with apple cider vinegar. It's pretty hot. Much hotter than store bought cayenne.
