Sriracha is so overdone it's almost a parody of itself. Plus it tastes like ***. Give me a good Louisiana hot sauce any day.

I tend to agree, by itself it's pretty gross. It's basically just hot & sour. You need to mix it with something else like Boris had said.

Yeah but even then a good sambal oelek sauce is superior, imo. Better flavor profile, plenty of heat. Plus there are so many different sambal sauces. It's really good. I'm just not a fan of sriracha because of what you said, it is basically just hot with a vinegary note. Even tobasco, which has comparable heat, has better flavor.

Exactly.


And to be honest that's why I was so surprised at how popular it seems to be in the US. In Thailand we hardly use that sauce. We use it on 2-3 dishes and that's about it. It just isn't a popular choice.


It lacks 'balance' which is what Thai people love: sweet, sour, salty, hot, all together in a harmonious blend, and that sauce just doesn't quite have that.

Not sure what Sriracha sauce you've been eating, but the original sauce has a vinegary taste as Log has alluded to.

The standard sriracha, the red rooster sauce, that is most common in the US has a very light vinegar note to it. Not like other sriracha sauces, so it's even more bland.

It’s Black Friday, and your girlfriend, wife, and/or life partner is out gorging on holiday discounts, leaving you at home alone. The echoes of the empty halls call to you, raising up a deep-seated need within your bowels to do something dirty, sticky, and altogether disgusting, and leaving your hands trembling as they furtively reach for… turkey, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, and gravy!

Am I the only person who thinks cranberry sauce w/ other food, especially gravy, is disgusting?

I always eat it by itself. We do a homemade orange/cranberry sauce tho, so I've forgotten what the regular stuff taste like.

**** cranberry sauce

Grind up a bunch of cranberries and a whole orange, add sugar and cinnamon and it's pretty baller.

I know a Thai chef, and I had her make me some home-made hot sauce. **** is hot! It's like eating distilled lava. A drop of it is hotter than an entire bottle of siracha. Hold on a minute. Let me take a picture.
