I luv me some Pickapeppa with jerk on an oppressively humid day.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe that the boomers contributed to the popularity of hot sauces. Like Massacre said, you can blame the hipsters for the resurgence of the Buffalo wing and the popularization of sriracha.
-
Somewhat-related: plant chilies around your tomatoes and herbs -- it makes deer and squirrels more reluctant to nosh on your shit. Because Frank's and Tabasco have been used with popularity for a very, very long time. The Boomers have little, if anything to do with it.

Post as many articles as you like. I'll still be skeptical of that explanation.
-
Somehow I doubt this.

I reckon it's the "exotic" connotation that sriracha and sambal have that make them popular. It's out of the norm for ketchup/mustard eaters, so they're eager to replace their usual condiments with whatever flavor-of-the-month sauce/spice is out there.

La Borincana Market in a West Side barrio in the 'Cleve is great for spices. They stock their shit by country, which is cool. For everything else, the famous West Side Market*. I don't shop at Wally World anymore, but I miss their hot foods section. And their everything French bread. *

Who, Jews?

Chester's Frank's RedHot has less of the stale-testicle-like vinegary taste and more of the chili flavor. I don't like that sriracha is "cool" now, either. My family was using it way before it was cool. I can't find a powdered cayenne that's not flavorless, and the "fresh" peppers for sale in Ohio are rarely fresh, so circumstance makes me prefer chili sauces.

Along with the golden Magen David pendants, those will come out when Hanukkah starts this Thursday.

There's an "authentic" joint in my city that offers the authentic stuff. Fried pig intestine, beef cheek, etc. Fuckin' nasty. Gimme my General Tso's and call it a day.

You must have never tried a bowl of pho or bun. You're right, though. Those two dishes + sriracha aside, Vietnamese food isn't too high on the list of good Asian food niches. You know better than to make that request^. Also, just because something's fallen into the mainstream doesn't mean it should be dismissed and ignored. Why sriracha's become the object of a culinary fad/hipster adoration, I'll never know. I do know, though, that it sure beats any Yankee chili sauce.
-
Huh. I guess Vietnamese expats are hipsters that have poor taste in food. Who'da thunk it? *adjusts fedora, dons ironic T-shirt with sarcastic slogan on both sides*

Oh, right. The Xbox One. A few of my more brand-loyal acquaintances bought both the Xbone and the PS4. As you can probably guess, most of them aren't partial to either so far.

Unless you're Massy. Then the converse is true.

I tried hard to make my character resemble me, but he came out looking like an inbred burn victim. Which, now that I think of it, is rather close to what I look like.

Though when I was six, I was quite occupied with fucking and jiving.

Congratulations, dear boy.

It was meant to be an illustration of poetic justice/irony, not bravado...

THAT. God, I love that it becomes a game of endurance once the police presence builds up.
