Huy Fong - Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce

[Blak Smyth]

Just googled it and I recognize it, just never know what it was called. All the chinese restaurants have it on their tables.

Probably on half the restaurants tables here regardless of what type of food they serve.

That's nice, here it is pretty much only tobasco everywhere.
People here don't know what good food is though.

I lived with the marketing rep for tobasco for 3 years and had all the free hot sauce I could eat and still never used that stuff. It's okay if it's all you have, but so many better.

So do I, but sure enough there it is! Should clarify to say half the restaurants that would have hot sauce on the table...

Sounds like a different place, than the MN I grew up in, back in the 60s-70s
I have the Lee Kum Kee brand of Sriracha, and like it a lot.
Also Frank's, that sh*t's good on everything

Is the Lee Kum Kee brand any different than Huy Fong as far as flavor is concerned?

Never did a side by side, but I'd guess very close in taste.
BTW, Lee Kum needs to be refridgerated after opening, says so on bottle. Maybe less preservatives, me like that

Yeah, it is.

A few years ago, myself and a friend went on a "quest" to try every other sriracha sauce out there that we could get our hands on to see if one of the other sauces that has been around longer than **** sauce (huy fong foods) was actually better.

At the end of all of it, a year later and countless bottles, including stuff not available here which had to be shipped over from Thailand & Hong Kong, we came to the conclusion that you just can't mess with perfection, and Huy-Fong has it with their **** sauce. Which, interestingly enough, is exported to parts of Asia, because it's better than theirs.

These other sauces are sometimes OK, but not great - usually just don't have a good ripe pepper flavor to them or are totally out of balance with too much sugar or garlic and some are just downright funky tasting.
