I am a big fan of hot sauces (mostly Mexican) but not Sriracha. BUT I admire the hell out of an immigrant who made it big. Not like the MS-13 and Venezuelan criminal class that crosses our porous border.
Try the yellow sriracha.
“The yellow sriracha comes from Three Mountains, a small chili farm in Sriracha, Thailand, and made from yellow Thai burapa chilis, that has a complex spicy sweet flavor and rich consistency. It is a little sweeter, less vinegary, almost citrusy version of the traditional rooster brand Sriracha.”
It shows you how a group of immigrants can overcome resistance from the natives. I recall intensely angry and bitter feelings when the Vietnam War finally ended around 1971. Most Americans wanted nothing to do with anyone connected to that country or perhaps, not even to that race.
Go forward a couple of years, a Viet-American named Maya Lin, a 21, y/o college student, wins a design contest for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. There was a LOT of resistance and fury, but congress didn’t change there decision.
By 1982, that long black granite wall was up and available to the public. That wall shows the names of people who died or were declared as MIA during that wartime.
That memorial has since been embraced by the public as a profoundly important tribute to our troops.
I recall the anger quite vividly. Some of my family had lost their sons in that war. I have a cousin who remains subdued and sort of ‘not there’ to this very day. He also served.
He refuses to talk about it.
