Hi All,
For all the chilli heads here this chilli sauce is a must! Its my absolute number 1 favourite and I've tried many. Before you know it you'll be smothering your cornflakes with it.

I can only direct you to stores in Copenhagen, Denmark unfortunately ;) but here I find it in some Thai/Chinese stores. If you go looking for it, watch out for fake copies, it should have the rooster on the bottle and be made by Huy Fong Foods Inc. further info on spotting fakes can be found here --> http://www.huyfong.com/same/counterfeit.htm (http://www.huyfong.com/same/counterfeit.htm)
Try it, this stuff is magic!
:)

I have it. ;D
It's on both Indian and Chinese store shelves over here. I find its obviously nearer the Chinese flavour but its certainly really potent and well worth getting for many uses.

Currymonster,
thanks for the timely pic. i'm shopping this w/e for chili sauce. i can't get to my fav place which i'm sure will have it but i will keep the pic in the back of my mind - it looks exactly what i'm after.

Jerry, I haven't tried it in BIR cooking yet but I use it in an on pretty much everything else ;) It has a garlicy sweetness to it (but not excessive sweetness).
-
I have (of course). It's not what they use in mine.
-
You can get that brand in Tesco, it's in the Chinese section.

CoR,
many thanks - i'll have a look as my local Asian shop is thumbs dn (i had thought i would have to have a kobeda day).

could not find the sriracha stuff at tesco. i did get the franks and lingham's.
i intend to compare with the ashoka south Indian garlic sauce. the ashoka tastes the better as chilli sauce (closer to what i'm after for putting in curry).

I've tried the Linghams before but IMHO its nowhere as near as nice as the rooster sauce.
-
currymonster,
i am pretty sure i agree. i need to taste the rooster to be 100%. i've used the lingham in the past and "never go back" rung true a little - i was a tad disappointed. either the ashoka equivalent is so good or the lingham's is not as good as i thought. i will know this week for sure.
i will look out for the rooster on my travels though.
the franks stuff is not the same animal that i'm interested in (the rooster/lingham category) - its a sort of tabasco. i certainly like it and will use regular it but not in curry.
for those interested the testing was done by way of chip butty.

Hi JerryM
Ever tried mixing the Linghams with some brown sauce and/or Lea&Perrins, fab with chips.
Cheers

CoR,
not gone that far.
i do like HP Brown on toast for a treat and Lea&Perrins is a must for cooking in general (ie chilli).
-
i've had one night on the chilli sauce and still work in progress.
i'm settling on the ashoka south Indian garlic as my preference.
the lingham for me just doesn't do it.
i was surprised how much sweetness the lingham added (and red colour) which has given me a bit more to work on though in terms of ideas.

Sorry guys I said this stuff is available from Tescos and it is (at least it's in mine, checked yesterday) but it's branded as Flying Goose, it does not seem to be available on-line from Tesco but Spices of India have it and so do plenty of others. CLICK HERE (http://www.scorchio.co.uk/flying-goose-brand-sriracha-chilli-sauce-p-342.html)
There is even a WIKIPEDIA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flying_goose_sriracha.jpg) page on the stuff. HTH.
Cheers
CoR (who would never make a twitcher, can't tell a happy rooster from a flying goose!)

I've tried the Flying Goose brand and its not the same, only the Rooster will do, accept no substitutes! ;)

Theres also a Wikipedia article for the Rooster Sauce http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooster_sauce (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooster_sauce)
A google search will also reveal many fellow addicts ;D

i checked in my nearest Asian Supermarket for the rooster but no luck.
they have a huge selection of chilli sauces and also sell to the trade. just to add injury the linghams was half the tesco price (well double the volume).
i'll keep a look out but i think rusholme is going to be the only place local to get the rooster.
the ashoka chilli sauce has done the trick for me so i have no pressing need - i'm thinking more for BBQ.
-
interesting - the lingham's has been going down great guns - been using it on copycat subway. anyhow emptied the tesco bought bottle and needed new.
i got new bottle from my asian store - same label - bigger bottle - lower price.
big difference in the taste though - it is far less blended - u can see the bits of chilli and the garlic hits u right away.
anyone else come across the difference - the jar printing is exactly the same.
ps got to try the new one in curry.

I used to get Linghams from Wing Yip in M/chester before Tesco started selling it and could have sworn it was sweeter from Tesco than it used to be from Chinese market, have to go back to Manc and check it out!!
