Thanks to the lovely people here I've discovered Sriracha sauce. I read about it, searched for it and found that my UK supermarkets didn't have any, so I ordered it from Amazon. I'm in love. I've been having it on everything for the past week.

Any other UK'rs want to try this, I've just been to Aldi where they're selling it until it runs out.

    It's a hot, garlicky chilli sauce with the consistency of tomato ketchup. I love hot sauce but have never found 'the one'. This one is it.

    If you like Siracha sauce, you may also wish to try harissa. It's fabulous as well!

    I have to keep extras of our favorite hot sauces or there's a mutiny. Sriracha and Cholula.

    Cholula over Tapatio?! Finally, something we disagree on... ;)


    ETA: Sriracha is also great on mac n cheese, IMO.

    Sriracha is a staple item in my fridge. I put it on sandwiches, vegetables, squirt it in hummus, add it to soups. You can do anything with it.

    So funny I should see this thread today! I was outraged ("outraged") as the grocery store today when they only had the normal sized (17 oz) bottles and I wanted the giant sized (28 oz) one, haha.

    Sriracha is great! I'm glad you've discovered it!

    So much for our streak!

    I'm not familiar with this Tapatio. Explain. I will also Google.

    ETA: An Amazon reviewer says this: "It whips the old hat Mr. Tabasco out of the park, but it still has a way to go before kicking Cholula or Sriracha out to the curb." LOL! I shall not be dissuaded.

    Yessssssssssssssssss. Also, if having cheese fries, sriracha elevates them to a whole new level of epic.

    Sriracha + cheese + starch = love

    I live on the south coast of the UK and I can always find Sriracha in the supermarkets locally. The brand pictured above with the dragon is usually in Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda near where I live for about £3 for a large bottle. It's usually the only brand available but I like it so it makes me happy!!

    Just to clarify, the bottle in the image I posted above was sold empty and is not affiliated with a specific brand.

    FWIW, I always buy the rooster version.
