Sriracha (Thai: ศรีราชา [sǐrātɕʰā]) is the generic name for a Thai hot sauce named after the seaside city of Si Racha, in the Chonburi Province of central Thailand, where it was first produced for dishes served at local seafood restaurants. It is also known colloquially as "Rooster Sauce", due to the rooster featured on its label. It is a paste typically made from sun-ripened chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt. The puree pronounced /sɪˈrɑːtʃə/ primarily produced by Huy Fong Foods and common in United States and Vietnam is drastically different from the Thai paste from which it takes its name (Wikipedia entry on Sriracha sauce :9 )
We couldn't find this stuff in Japan, so Bret got his mum to send some over. When the box came he went right past the pile of Christmas presents and scooped it out with a crazed look and started cackling and pumping the bottle into the air shouting "YES! YES"
I guess this is what Sriracha deprivation does to a man. It's not pretty. But all is right in the world once more. He's put it on his breakfast, lunch and dinner since it's delivery.
