    Have you run across the ketchup/sriracha blend from Red Gold and Huy
    Fong? Much nicer than Heinz Tabasco version.

    I'm not going so far as to recommend making your own
    sriracha (recipe can be found easily) but would not be
    inclined to buy a premix of it and ketchup. If someone
    said, here, what do you think of it, I'd be happy to try
    it, in whatever version. Of the newly-touted combinations
    I endorse mayochup (which secret sauce and "Russian" dressing
    essentially are) and tartarechup, which moderate the sugariness
    of the red ingredient and the richness of the white one.

    Mayotard/mustonnaise just remedies the gooey anti-flavor of
    normal mayo and the acridity of the mustard, bringing the
    sauce closer to what mayo really ought to be like (it is
    best made with a dose of dry mustard anyway for both flavor
    and emulsifying effects).

    I could see potato or mac salad garnished with
    zigzags of sriracha and mustonaisse. I wonder what
    blue squeeze-bottle sauce one could add to make it
    into a patriotic salad. Speaking of which, why don't
    you Canadians have July 4? [joke]
    Because they already have July 1 - Dominion Day. s'truth. No joke.

    ... What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child?

    No doubt there is that component. I don't think of
    myself as a great patriot though I did eat a lot of
    beanie weenies and apple pie as a child. As well as ...

    Title: SPANISH HOT DOGS AND RICE
    Categories: Meats
    Servings: 4

    1 cn Stewed tomatoes. 3/4 c Green pepper, diced
    1/2 lb Hot dogs sliced 1/2" 3/4 c Onion, diced
    Thick Rice for 4 people

    Contributed to the echo by: Marge Clark The recipe has no real
    measurments...is a "what you have"... Spanish hot dogs & rice: Enough
    rice
    for four people... put rice on to cook...while it's cooking slice as many
    hot dogs as you have (lets say 1/2 pound or more) into pennies, about 1/2
    inch thick. dice 1 green pepper...I used to use the frozen diced pepper
    and
    use a couple of handsful..maybe 3/4 cup? Diced onion. ditto on the
    amount.
    combine all the above, heat, while the rice is cooking...set the table
    and
    spray on some perfume.

    This is obviously not a gourmet feast for company. But everyone ATE it!
    and
    there is little that's faster or easier!

    of the red ingredient and the richness of the white one.

    My standard sauce for hamburgers used to be a mix of mayo, and something
    red. The something red might be ketchup, chili sauce (more flavor) or
    cocktail sauce (more flavor, some heat). I've gotten out of the habit
    of bothering with that though, and just use ketchup. Gail only uses
    yellow mustard on her hamburger or hot dog.

    Speaking of eggplant, we recently went to a new-to-us Italian restaurant
    called Facci. They have a happy hour with half-priced anti-pasta
    dishes. There might be some there you might like. Mussels, calamari,
    and a stuffed eggplant with spinach D.O.P. San Marzanomarinara sauce
    (whatever that is) and a blend of three cheeses.

    I know about sriracha - and have made my own sriracha-style sauce. You
    have sampled it.

    If you're talking about Mickey D's Big Mac sauce one can come pretty
    close using 1000 Island dressing and Heinz Sweet Relish.

    E-Z P-Z .... dominion means we own you/are owned by you. Commonwealth
    means we cooperate to make wealth for us - either physical or spiritual.

    Title: Yaaaaahhhh Hooooooo Aaaaahhhh Hot Sauce
    Categories: Five, Sauces, Chilies, Garlic
    Yield: 1 Quart

    1 qt Mason jar
    1 tb Salt; plain, non-iodized
    1 pt Chiles; dried Serrano,
    - Cayenne, Tabasco, etc.
    1 pt Garlic cloves; peeled
    Distilled white vinegar

    Fill the Mason jar with the dried chiles and peeled
    garlic. Dissolve the tablespoon of salt in a cup of
    white vinegar and pour over the chiles and garlic.
    Top up the jar with more vinegar and put the jar in
    a low traffic area to let the chilies rehydrate for
    a few weeks. Add vinegar as needed to keep the jar
    full.

    After a few weeks empty the contents of the jar into
    a blender or food processor and puree. Add vinegar (or
    water) to get to your desired thickness. I like mine
    to be fairly thick (like catsup with an attitude)
    instead of runny like Tabasco. As there is plenty of
    vegetable pulp in this mix, thick is easy.

    You can decant into smaller bottles or keep in the
    quart jug.

    I have kept some in the ice box for as long as five
    weeks with no ill effects. I can't seem to get it to
    last any longer than that. Apparently the longer it
    sits in the ice box the more of it disappears.

    This is a moderately successful attempt to make my own
    "Huy Fong Sriracha Sauce". It's more garlicky than Huy
    Fong and moderately spicy and goes well on almost
    anything. Which, I suspect is why I have never had a
    batch last more than five weeks.

    Devised, made. tested, named and approved in Uncle
    Dirty Dave's Kitchen. In the heart of the Great
    American Outback.
