chili sriracha appreciation thread

okay.

i acquired a bottle of this today because i asked someone to bring some over cause i'd seen so much fuss about it over internets.

i had it on eggs, and i essentially came. that's about it. how is america keeping this so quiet? it's your best kept secret. this shit is spicy nectar!

Fuck yeah sriracha is awesome. I had a huge phase of putting it in EVERYTHING I cooked.

It's not American though! At least not the proper stuff.

I thought there would already a thread or some type of love to letter about it on here already.

I prefer to put it on almost most everything that's savory. I get Sri-ulcers or something from using too much of it after a few month of consistent heavy Sriracha consumption sometimes and have to stop for a week or two.

Sriracha + Hoisin + Pho

you can't get it here. i *do* have the proper stuff. the huy fong stuff. fuckkkk, it's delicious.

You don't have Asian supermarkets there? Daaamn, they're everywhere here!

It's a culinary mainstay for me as well; I'm eating right now on Quinoa in fact!

i have some huevos rancheros lined up for tomorrow morning. eggs, fresh salsa, fried potato, sriracha, whatever else is left over and fry-able. fuck. i'm looking forward to it already.

we do, plenty of em. but sriracha is bizarrely in short supply.

I love it for sure but I find it is not as versatile a hot sauce. it has a ton of flavor with its heat but I don't think it goes well on everything. it's strange on tacos and I actually prefer tobasco on my eggs.

it is a culinary masterpiece though and I go through it just a little faster than it goes through me.

I always just mix it in with the scramblers or omelette - makes a nice even heat throughout the eggs. That and in pho and on a bahn mi. oooh lord have mercy

i can understand that - it's the garlic? it's very garlicky.

matter of taste. i'd have garlic on my cornflakes if i could.

i can't wait to have it on some home-made fat ol burgers.

I have this t-shirt (in black):

I had some on my pho ga this past thursday. first time trying pho, first time trying sriracha... delightful! I even deposited the waitress in my spank bank!

fuck yes, yo!

i bet she had a fat booty.

i saw a cookery program yesterday where the chef made a vietnamese beef salad. it was basically pho without the broth. and she had a fat ol ghetto booty. it was very enjoyable.

Jules is wrong

hey now we're all a buncha sriracha lovin fellas. he might be the least right but so far i don't see anyone who's actually wrong.

I am currently trying to take a break fro sriracha due to possible sri-ulcers, but the break doesn't seem to be helping. So I'm going to go back to putting sriracha on everything until there's a Goldie-Hawn-in-Death-Becomes-Her size hole in my stomach, and I'll love every minute of it.

Sriracha.

Good luck dude, I had a point where it didn't seem like my Sri-ucler would go away. You gotta pray to the chilli sauce gods bro.

This thread got me inspired to photochop me a facebook cover photo

i had a weird sriracha experience a few months ago. there was a bottle of it just sitting there at a bus stop across the road from my house. i was like, hello there sriracha... have you been tampered with? it hadn't been tampered with. i couldn't bring myself to take it home though. similar feeling to wanting to steal a stray kitten. maybe i should have taken it but put posters up around the area

i like it, but sambals are still my preferred flavoursome chili sauces

LOL at tauboo's Sri-story.

I caught some Sriracha to the eye at my ex-ex-girlfriends like 3 years ago, her sister was opening the top of a new bottle, to put on some enchilidas she made for us. I was grabbing a glass of water and she somehow accidentally squeezed a grip straight into the pupil of me eye. Probably worse than any industrial grade mace, I went straight to the floor in crazy pain but we all were laughing like wee school girls.

sometimes, under perfect environmental conditions, if I pull my sriracha out of the fridge and crack open the top, a good amount of sriracha will spurt forth without any squeezing, and keep gushing for a few seconds, and I'm like "happy to see you too, baby"

It wasn't big, but it was shapely! she had a small frame and big titties... deposited!

i practically drink that stuff

so good

Oh man, I've been chowing on these lately.

They are so fucking good.
