I’ve been off the sriracha for years now and yesterday when I was at the grocery I see some of the good ol staring me down. Well yes old friend you can come home with me. FF to today, I’m scrolling through Reddit and stumble upon a post about someone hitting the jackpot with a couple bottles of these, in the comments I find out that Huy Fong is not the same, and very disappointing. Well I cracked the seal and you are absolutely correct. It not only tastes generic/half assed, It really doesn’t taste good at all. Unbelievably disappointing as we don’t buy Huy Fong Sriracha for the heat, we buy it for the flavor. Does anyone have any recommendations for a sriracha that would compare to original HFS?

/s Drove 2 1/2 hours for this. Worth it.

It came out better than I hoped. Creamy, soft and a nice little kick.

Still kind of shocked by this.
I entered four different sauces into the OC Fair Culinary Arts competition this year:
🌶️ Hop Sauce —** Division Winner / Best Hot Sauce + 1st Place
🥭 Croakatoa — 1st Place, Fruit Based
👑 Royal Ribbit — 1st Place + Judges Award for Uniqueness
🌶️ Jalapeño Jefe — 2nd Place, Pepper Blen**d
The weirdest one is probably Royal Ribbit — plum + habanero infused with Earl Grey tea.
I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time growing peppers and working on these recipes, so seeing all four place was pretty surreal. This was all very exciting for my ribbit riot hot sauce!
Which of the four flavor combinations would you actually want to try?

No ragrets

That’s what you get for biting into my ripest scorpion pepper. Didn’t even take the whole bite.

You godless heathens wallow in a fetid swamp of lies. You’ve wrongly elevated this putrid excuse for instant noodles to undeserving heights, enough to where I decided to try it. What it lacked in flavor complexity it made up for with its unappetizing industrial chemical mouthfeel. Did it have heat? Sure. That being said it was deeply unpleasant. Little did I know that was simply the first blow of this atrocity’s one-two punch. About thirty minutes after I thought I had rid my life of it, this dickhead of a food-like substance decided to sour my guts to the point of cramping. The act of brutality that followed on the toilet can only be described as an exorcism.

This is not good. This is not food. You are bad people and you should feel bad about yourselves. Shame. Shame on you all.

Edit: I’d like to,in hindsight, apologize to r/spicy. I had no idea before writing this post how many fragile individuals lurked in these putrid waters. There is a lot of repressed sexuality and small dick energy in this godforsaken place. Nevertheless, It’s alarming how people will lash out and become vile in the face of facts that attack a shitty pack of noodles they’ve allowed to become a core tenet of their personality due to their utter lack of substance. May god have mercy on our souls.
