I was wondering what the hell sriracha was. I'm starting to see it everywhere so thanks to those that are posting about it. LOL!

Datil chiles, I think I heard about them when I first moved to FL just over a year ago those and them damn boiled peanuts. haha. and I still haven't tried either!

Speaking of festivals, FL has one for the datil chile. They also have a strawberry one http://www.flstrawberryfestival.com/ that I would love to attend sometime. Looks very cool! I also want to go to this chocolate place for a tour https://www.facebook.com/ChocolateKingdom I think it would be interesting to see how chocolate is made. I had the priviledge while in Mexico once to see how tequila is made. That was quite interesting too.

What cool and awesome festivals and tours have you attended relating to food?!

Hey ruff!

There are a ton of food festivals in CA & AZ, impossible to get to all of them but...since AZ starts warming up about now..there are a lineup of festivals slated for the next 3 months. Some are bbq, bbq & beer, beer, and one big one in Scottsdale which is a multi Chef event.

In CA I like the Garlic Festival the best of all and of course the State Fair. The problem with Strawberry Festivals imo is that they are not organic and therefore, sprayed with poison.

Siracha is fabulous but speaking of poison...loaded with sulfites. So make your own. It is the preferred ingredient in Japanese sushi spicy tuna rolls..my favorite roll. However many people are allergic to sulfites and have not a clue. No wonder...the stuff is used all over the market.
