So. The topic of condiments came up as a possible July event, and I thought I'd try to find some interesting rarities and some hot sauces. Like Sriracha. Turns out, Huy Fong foods has been making Sriracha sauce since 1983. BUT THEY HAVE NEVER EVER ADVERTISED. Of course that's because they have one supplier of chiles, have never met demand in all their years in business, and so just don't need to advertise. Alas, I can't post any Sriracha ads.

However, you can read the entire fascinating story of Sriracha sauce HERE:

Seriously, it's a well-researched entertaining article about hot sauce with the most buzz right now and very worth reading.

And to make this post legit, here's a chili sauce of a very different sort:

Cool article! Thanks!

Somehow I feel Snider's doesn't measure up, even with the generous use of "spice". Sorry Grandma.

Sriracha. or as we call it, cock sauce. ;) i sent the boy boxers with the logo across the back of it and his g/f said "yes, indeed, he does have a hot cock". *snickering* yep, she's definitely one of us!

tabasco is another famous hot sauce...we go by the turnoff to the factory where it's bottled when we go to the office branch in lousiana. fun stuff. for someone who cannot eat hot stuff at all. *eyeroll*

I hope they can work out their dispute with Irwindale or consider moving. A lot of towns have tried to woo them their way. That situation has certainly given them a lot of free publicity!

They've settled with the town (especially after it was revealed that one family was 2/3 of the complaints filed) and put in scrubbers on their smokestacks.
