Ah, yes. The Spice Road and capitalism/free trade had NOTHING to do with this.

The sriracha guy is the same one that was/is in trouble with his plant down in California. I thought it was just fines due to a bogus air-quality matter. (Welcome to liberal America). But it sounds like it may be more of a matter of him not owning up to his side of the bargain.

I suppose I could research more, but...

He was to pay $250 grand a year instead of taxes and permits, but then stopped paying due to the air-quality charges. Although the air-quality doesn’t seem to be an issue anymore.

Thank you. I was just going to check The Forme of Curry - that medieval cookbook which features some of these flavorings. Well, maybe not MSG but who knows?!

Spicing aside...Every culture has its pancake, just as every culture has its egg roll.

Sad that an adult woman didn’t know you scald moose head - outside - in an oversized pot over a pit fire. (Honestly, city Yankees, how do you live day to day?)

And the levels of bigotry in this article are extreme to the level of hate speech.
