An Ode To Sriracha Chili Sauce

My soup was bland
My hot dog blah
You are not just for Pho or shumai anymore

Thicker than sauce
Smoother to a puree
Technically a "red pepper coulis"

The tounges of five lands
Emblazoned on the bottle side
Surely these are five tounges on fire

Heat but not light
Sweet but not "TGIF rib sauce"
More like a symphony of flavors; specifically that symphony where Metalica thought to play with an orchestra... except good.

Look! I wrote my name on the plate
"Too late or still too soon too soon to make lots of bad love and there's no time for sorrow. Run around, run around with a hole in your head 'til tomorrow."
