Sriracha shortage (again) - 2024 edition!

After finally breathing a sigh of relief seeing the roster return to shelves after 3 long years, production was halted once again.

I hadn't seen it at the store the last few weeks and after some research it looks like production was showdown until at least Labor Day due to a quality issue with the peepers.

The start of the 2024 Sriracha-lypse.

El Yucateco red or green?

Which do you prefer!

I love the red. The green tastes "chemical-y" to me, but sure if I got a bad bottle.

Tingly Ted’s

Picked this up short dated from Hone Bargains, I’d never heard of it and didn’t realise it was Ed Sheeran until I got home and read the bottle.

Nice and hot I thought, even though it only says two chilli’s on the bottle. A little vinegary but a nice aftertaste and only 84p, wouldn’t buy again but always nice to try something new.

Huy Fong Sriracha Doesn’t Look THAT Bad

Someone posted a picture of Huy Fong sriracha at the grocery store that looked kinda yellow. And yea, Huy Fong isn’t as red as it used to be. But it doesn’t look like THAT. The color tone in that photo was off in its entirety. Here’s a bottle I just bought for reference.

Top 2 / Bottom 2

I don't really post much, so if I'm breaking any rules or not respecting any stickies my bad!

I'd say I have roughly 110+ sauces currently in active rotation. (The wife may or may not think I have a problem haha...)

Nevertheless, I'm always looking for new and interesting sauces to add to the collection. There's just so many out there! And I'm hoping to discover some cool new sauces via this thread.

My top 2 currently are:

  1. Dirty Dick's Tropical Twist
  2. Flavour and Fire's Columbus Black Garlic

My 2 least favorite are:

  1. Tingly Teds
  2. Da Bomb

What are yours?

Holy cow! This is bad

This is probably the worst sauce I’ve ever had. I can’t even explain how bad this stuff is, I don’t even know how to describe the taste but it’s unappealing at best. Does anyone actually like this stuff? I’ve never thrown out a sauce I didn’t like, I usually find uses for them, but damn this one might end up in the trash.

Lotta racha talk these days. Anyone else had this one?

Found it online and gave it a shot. I like the flavor a lot. It’s been so long since I’ve had OG huy fong that I can’t really compare. I went with the extra hot and it’s just the amount of heat I was looking for. Only thing I don’t like is it says on the bottle to consume within 4 weeks of opening! I only use sriracha on certain things so I need a bottle that lasts a lot longer that that!

2 weeks completely sober after 27 years of drinking. I needed a new hobby. Lol. The TJ habanero and el pato have always been my go to. This sub has inspired me to branch out. Lol. Any suggestion for an extremely spicy guy?

What’s a good sauce for grilled chicken

I tweaked a recipe for a marinate for grilled chicken to be grilled at a charbroiled grill to get that smokey flavor. I’m looking for something that won’t overpower the marinate. Something with good heat / flavor.

The marinade if you want to try (Good for Chicken or Pork)

  • Juices of Fresh Oranges & Pineapple.
  • Juice of 3 Limes
  • Onion / Garlic / Cilantro / Salt / Achiote Paste / 5 Guajillo Peppers / 5 Chile Serranos / Dry Chipotle Peppers (I used 8)

Blend until you get a sauce like consistency and apply the marinate over chicken.

More love needed

I haven’t seen many posts about Tabasco Habanero, and I think it deserves more attention. It’s a great blend of fruits with heat and slightly thicker consistency than the standard Tabasco.

Got some haters on my last post, doubling down & posting what I got when I asked for “hot sauce” when I visited my fam in Italy 🖕

chili flakes and chili peppers in some type of olive oil — the nozzle is wrapped in aluminum foil, and I can only assume it’s because this was being used in the kitchen

While visiting, a restaurant gave me a cocktail dish of red chili flakes and seasoning when I asked for hot sauce. Just a dish of dry rub

I brought home some piccante from the local grocery store, and it stings the nostrils like a wasabi. Also, it’s lowkey offensive to ask for hot sauce at some dining places — it’s like spitting in the chef’s face, because the chef would’ve added hot sauce if he wanted to, so keep that in mind if you ever decide to visit
