I am not a fan of spicy food but I know some of you are. Here is a consequence of the California drought that you might not have seen–a shortage of the spicy Sriracha hot sauce that many people use in Asian cooking due to the failure of the red chile pepper crop in California this year. According to the Washington Post, shortages are expected until the next crop comes in later this fall. So if you can’t live without it, time to find some in stores before they sell out. Or switch to some other spicy condiment like chile crisp or harissa.
