Not according to my calculations
I don't know that I have ever had commercial Sriracha, but I made some last year that is really tasty. Let me know if you want the recipe.I only keep two basic commercial hot sauces, sriracha and franks, the rest I make myself
I would LOVE a recipe for sriracha! I have a Korean friend (man can his mom cook! Best kimchi I've ever had) that introduced me to it about 25 years ago at a mexican restaurant of all places. We keep about 6-10 bottles on hand at all times. Here is a pic of the stuff we get, it also comes in a jar and is more like a paste that way.ORChick said:Throttlejockey wroteI don't know that I have ever had commercial Sriracha, but I made some last year that is really tasty.

I suppose the weirdest things I have in the pantry are all the various Asian ingredients, and the weirdest from that lot are probably the mini dried fish and shrimps. They make good fish stock, when fresh fish is lacking. And my Korean sister in law does some interesting dishes with them, which I always intend to learn to do, but haven't yet. (On the other hand, she hasn't learned much American cooking either, so I do "western", and she does "Korean" ). I also have some dried fiddlehead ferns (also given me by SIL), but I don't really like them, so haven't used them. Maybe I just don't particularly like the Korean way of cooking them. And one packet of dried squid that I was given in Japan; its an interesting, chewy "Japanese jerky" sort of thing.
Oxtails too, but I don't consider that weird
That looks like a bottle of what my brother calls "Cock Sauce," due to the rooster on the bottle. He loves it, I don't care for it, I will still take my Tapitio any day.ThrottleJockey said:I would LOVE a recipe for sriracha! I have a Korean friend (man can his mom cook!

On some items, yes it is indeed. But I have compared pricing to our regular grocers and I can get a lot of things cheaper than normal sale pricing there. It depends on the item. I can get all my flour and baking goods there for a lot less. They also offer some items my local grocers don't carry. There are benefits to Sam's, but you do have to watch what you're buying...really just like anywhere else.ThrottleJockey said:You guys know sams club is actually more expensive than the other options right?
I have always found this to be true. it does depend on what you are looking for. I save quite a bit shopping here and I will continue to do so as long as I am saving money.Wannabefree said:On some items, yes it is indeed.
