Jim in Anchorage Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 What if it tastes better? It's not that hard I would imagine. Vinegar, tomato, jalapenos (I prefer serranos) and **** loads of garlic. It doesn't have tomato, which is a good thing but it has sugar, which is a bad thing.

Chef Jim Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 It doesn't have tomato, which is a good thing but it has sugar, which is a bad thing. Why is no tomatoes a good thing. If you use tomatoes you probably don't have to use that much sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not like hot sauce made of tomatoes. It tastes like ketchup with some pepper thrown in. Which is why I buy La Victoria sauce; Made with chilies not tomatoes and no sugar.

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) I am the same way. I really don't care for any tomato based (and even pepper based) sauce w/sugar added to it. I do like Sriracha, though but in moderation. My mother-in-law's tomato sauce uses way too much sugar... The family raves about it... But I just go along with flow and nod agreeingly if you get my drift... Keeps the peace. After I leave, I wanna puke! It is so runny too! LoL ;-) Edited November 1, 2013 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL ;-) I am looking right at a bottle of sriracha I bought years ago and never used because it was to sweet. Ingredients- Chili sugar garlic vinegar. Why in the world anyone put sugar in a hot sauce? Do they put it on hamburgers also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I like it in moderation occasionally be on the "Sriracha" kick and then it gets old and won't have it for a while. Now my son (15) laps that stuff up by the gallon... Only hot (it is a chili sauce) sauce that he likes straight out of the bottle! It definately Asian as the name (place in Thailand) implies. IMO, still unique.

Pretty basic recipe. Think it would be good if they left the sugar out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Don't know about unique. Pretty basic recipe. Think it would be good if they left the sugar out. I like sriracha quite a bit. It's got more heat than Cholula - which, for me, is a more "everyday, everything" kind of hot sauce. Sriracha also has more heat than Tabasco, which I also use on mostly anything. I like sriracha on rice and vegetables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like sriracha on rice and vegetables. I Use mostly La Victoria Enchilada sauce [hot] on most things and Franks on wings and shrimp. If I want it hotter[tacos] I cook habaneros in the meat. I do NOT want sugar in my hot sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the ingredients in La Victoria enchilada sauce. No tomato's only peppers . I have trouble finding the hot version though. You may not. Very good though and I am a enchilada junkie.[3x a week.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Don't know about unique. Pretty basic recipe. Think it would be good if they left the sugar out. Just tried it recently and I'm not a fan. Couldn't figure out what it was until I read this thread. On topic, I've worked in a company for 15 years now that makes an entire village smell like onions and garlic and not once has anyone complained. They all love the smell.

Nanker Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I would think the plaintiffs in the suit have a legitimate legal argument if their health is being affected by the emissions from the plant. Just my 2¢. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
