What's new

LOOK WHAT'S BACK ON THE SHELF:

I've heard the story of how BBQ sauce came to be.

Apparently the blacks came up with what we now know as BBQ sauce in order to deal with the crap cuts of meat they got.
Tripe, pigs feet, hog maws and chitterlings (intestines, actually shit kicking feet, stomach and intestines respectively).

Shocker: Slave owners fed all the leftovers/scraps to said "undocumented employees".

I am an adventurous foodie but I am not touching any of that.

Where's that hot sauce thread?

You asked, I decided to create since I couldn't find one...

 
Huy Fong Foods, maker of the sriracha sauce that comes in rooster-adorned, green-capped bottles, says it has halted production until after Labor Day, sparking fears of another shortage.

The California company blamed the popular condiment's production problems on the red jalapeño chile peppers that deliver the hot sauce's tangy sweet heat. They aren't red enough, according to Huy Fong Foods.

“After reevaluating our supply of chili, we have determined that it is too green to proceed with production as it is affecting the color of the product,” it told wholesale buyers in a letter this week obtained by USA TODAY. Huy Fong Foods does not sell directly to consumers.
 
The only problems Fong has are created by the fact he won't use food coloring in the sriracha sauce. That's all it is right now.

The everyday production of sriracha uses both green and red jalapenos, which is why there's no uniformity in color, lending to the fact that the ratio of red to green is never the same.

My local grocer has plenty of the 17oz bottles at $3.69 a pop. :smokin:

the larger story is that they had a hand shake agreement with a specific chili farmer, that grew to they paying by the acre planted. at some point fong got greedy, then sued the farmer for breach, turns out the farmer was entitled to payment because fong go greedy. so fong has had to find other chili suppliers and they suck at growing them.

wasn't it something like a 1.6m suit that he lost? i think that chili farm was in ventura county... known for excellent chili producing climate, farming technique etc

iirc, there was a suit HE filed (maybe that was the 1.6m) and then lost a countersuit for something like 5.5m or sumshit, i forget now

but chili shortages are very real lol :laughing:
 
Ahh shit :laughing:

I FOUGHT THE LAW AND...

Just another greedy Chinese-Taiwan businessman. He also is/was looking at local issues with the aroma degrading the quality of life with local residents. Too much jalapeno mist in the air :homer:

Yeah, that was some bullshit the locals pulled. They literally live in a city of quarries, a miller beer plant, a reservoir and a drag strip. Two weeks a year they could smell jalapeños. They can smell shit from the quarries all year.
 
Guess I'll be planting more jalapeno plants this summer to make my own.

Why would you shoot the goose that lays the golden eggs?

Postscript - I guess I will be finding out how to buy direct from the farm (too tired to look right now)

FYI, the farmer makes his own Sriracha with the original Huy Fong peppers. I cannot remember the branding off the top of my head.
