I'm disappointed you gave Huy Fong Foods such high marks. Although they are pioneers and I was an early adopter, I've come to see from cross comparisons that it really doesn't taste that good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17607203506643847715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353825782605165892.post-9923882634301108282014-04-17T12:03:08.373-07:002014-04-17T12:03:08.373-07:00I am totally making this!

Ever since posting these results, I've heard of about at least 10 new srirachas. Now that there was a supposed "shortage" (now just ended), I am also seeing a bunch of new locally produced srirachas. Guess its the DIY entrepreneur spirit of America! Glad I could expose you to the new brands! Until I empty my fridge of the existing srirachas, hubby isn't too keen on me buying new ones. But I think another taste test could be in order later in the year... I could add this one to the list (and no, I haven't seen it here in California).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354137763419535158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353825782605165892.post-81507727565263537082014-01-07T06:26:56.446-08:002014-01-07T06:26:56.446-08:00I'm very eager to try the apinya!

I think though that the American palate is just different, and probably because we were introduced to rooster sauce as the first sriracha - and that is what my brain was searching for. These things are never without their biases! FWIW, I still use the thai sauces in a lot of my cooking, even if they didn't rank as highly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354137763419535158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353825782605165892.post-11339033321108020452013-12-22T16:14:16.784-08:002013-12-22T16:14:16.784-08:00I agree.

I haven't quite reproduced your taste test but I have now tried Trader Joe's (local), Panich and Shark Brand (Import Products by mail), Crying Tiger (Amazon) and Dark Star (shipped by manufacturer). I have not yet tried Roland's although Fairway and some groceries carry it. I have yet to check the asian megamarts in Flushing (Queens, NY) to see if they carry Panich or Shark Brand.<br /><br />What have I learned? If Huy Fong is available thats what I'll get although the Trader Joe's was a pleasant discovery. I liked Panich and Shark Brand but they're pretty similar to Huy Fong and not worth mail order unless Huy Fong isn't available. Dark Star is very yummy but really a different flavor combination. I didn't care much for Crying Tiger.<br /><br />Thanks again for corrupting me.<br />Tardigradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712155688451149547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353825782605165892.post-54500822767252914062013-12-18T11:57:01.561-08:002013-12-18T11:57:01.561-08:00Our household upgraded to Apinya sauce months ago....Our household upgraded to Apinya sauce months ago.

I tried my best to call something accessible if a good number of folks could get to it. <br /><br />I used to live in Oklahoma City...nary a TJs to be found! I totally understand your frustration. Hell, it took 4 years of petitions and oil money bribery to convince a Whole Foods to come to OKC (and unfortunately that is the only place to get Sky Valley), and only after I left for Sacramento! If you ever do get a TJs, treasure it, and don't let them leave! Best store ever. Oh, and I know about the BBQ and fried chicken. I miss it so. You've got a valuable commodity. Amen.<br /><br />On the flip side, we don't have Krogers. If you want to do a full review of their sriracha, let me know and I'll try to fit it into the scoring matrix!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354137763419535158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353825782605165892.post-19466363196034394222013-11-23T15:32:03.456-08:002013-11-23T15:32:03.456-08:00Wow, the infamous triple poster- sorry!

They won't build any more here because we don't allow wine sales in grocery stores, so I'm told, and are underwhelmed by the performance of their Nashville store... probably for that reason. I have never seen Sky Valley or Dark Star anywhere, and have to search through small asian markets(which we do have a ton of) to find Sriraja Panich... sigh. Thank God for the Rooster! By the way, I have tried the Kroger brand sriracha- and found it mediocre but serviceable. Not even in the same league as Huy Fong. It would be interesting to see where it fell on your rankings, though. Ah, the trials and tribulations of living in middle America. At least we have the best BBQ and fried chicken!
