Some people like Tabasco, some people like Texas Pete's, some people like Cholula, but I love Siracha sauce! Most hot sauces are 90% vinegar, or more. There is nothing wrong with vinegar, it has its uses, but I prefer a sauce whose ingredients are full of flavor, and work less as filler. Siracha sauce does still have vinegar, but the majority of it is made up of chili paste, garlic, sugar and salt.
The name comes from Si Racha, a town in Chonburi Province, Thailand. That makes sense since I love Thai food, too. Apparently, the version you can buy in Thailand is thicker, tangier, and sweeter. I would love to try it, but I also like the American version just fine.
I have no idea what the significance of the Rooster is, but the Huy Fong Foods version featuring it on the label is often known as Rooster Sauce, or Cock Sauce, which are both kind of gross.
Bon Appetit featured Siracha Sauce as on of the best ingredients of the year in 2010.
