Yesterday I saw that the McIlhenny Tabasco people are making it. Has anybody tried that?

And there is a Trader Joe’s version.
Good on some stuff, not a good ‘paring’ on others.
Good question. The Huy Fong stuff, green cap Sriracha has been unobtanium around here for quite a while. The last time I ordered, they subbed a bottle of the Tabasco version, but I haven’t opened it. I still have about a 1/4 of a bottle of the original Sriracha.
I actually think it tastes a little funky, at least when used too liberally on stuff. I mean it’s OK. But, I discovered when used in smaller amounts, say in soups, stews, casseroles - it adds a really nice bit of heat & garlic. Good garlic is tough to find now, Gilroy, California bulbs aren’t sold around here any longer for some reason. So I just use it as an all purpose flavor enhancer. Good in Chicken & Rice for example.
