No mention of the fact that Tran's sauce is an americanized knockoff (made with jalapeno peppers) of legitimate Sriracha sauce from Sri Racha, Thailand.

You can't "knock off" a cuisine concept, only a specific product.

Also, I'm kind of sick of the notion that any recipe invented in America must automatically be inferior to its foreign predecessor. It's ridiculous to care more about how "authentic" food is than about how it actually tastes.
