The story on the Sriracha plant is one of Kalifornica harassing a successful business man the had a great idea and capitalized on it. Capitalized being the offending word here, I’m sure. The owner is a Vietnamese man that saw the ripe red jalapenos going to waste on the plant in the fields. He produced his Rooster sauce from them. The health dept wanted him to hold all shipments for 30 days because the sauce is uncooked. Them they ordered him to do something about the fumes coming from the plant. I haven’t read, but I am sure he has complied by now. They just cant stand a success story.
I like heat sometimes and sometimes not. With sushi, I coat it in rooster sauce. My wife just shakes her head at me! LOL
That's just crazy. I wonder if those same hypocrites get raw veggies from the store. He did have a good idea though, and made use of peppers that would otherwise go to waste.
That, of course, gives me another idea! I've been wanting to grow more jalapeno's anyways.
My wife just shakes her head at me! LOL
Yours' and mine too. :) I have a small collection of hot sauces that I love to use. many of them are commercially produced, but some are homemade. We made out own tabasco sauce a couple years ago by just semi-drying the peppers and letting them naturally ferment in the jar. Add a little vinegar and wala!
