You know it - it's the Asian hot sauce that comes in a squeeze bottle with the little green tip. In college, maybe you called it "Rooster" for the picture of the rooster on the front, like we did, because we had no idea how to say "sriracha." It's a staple. If i have nothing else in the refrigerator, like Nick, I have a half-full bottle of sriracha (because it never stays full for long).
I don't know what it is about sriracha that makes me want to put it on everything. Everything, I say, from scrambled eggs to mac and cheese to...pizza? Yes, pizza. If you're a sriracha lover, pizza is probably not even an unusual recipient for a lovely back and forth drizzle of the stuff.
But recently, on a night of Indian take-out, I found myself squeezing the stuff on my naan, as if it were completely normal. My dining companion at first gave me a strange look, then grabbed the bottle. "That's brilliant!"
What's the strangest thing you've done with sriracha sauce (in the kitchen, that is)?

BTW, please consider yourselves invited to join me for spicy food swapping on

Have gotten, in exchange for me sending out Texas care packs with salsas, BBQ rubs, etc. things as odd and varied as a Calgary Stampede cowboy hat, Japanese socks (way cute!), Australian cookies...it's amazing what people will share for more spice in their lives.
There's been a recent influx of knitting people swapping yarn, so I desperately need food swap reinforcements! Please!

Have to say avocado ice cream topped with sriracha is the most unusual thing I have done with the "Hot Cock."
