So, what's in the sriracha?From the Huy Fong website ( link): "Sriracha is made from sun ripen chilies which are ground into a smooth paste along with garlic and packaged in a convenient squeeze bottle." IIRC the ingredients on the (US-made) bottle are also in Dutch (for sale in Indonesia). [Addendum: Nope, Vietnamese, Chinese, English, French, and Spanish\ ( link. But I have seen Dutch on the labels of some jarred or tinned foods made in and for distribution throughout Asia. I'll bring my camera next time I got to Ranch 99.]

A chili sauce, trendy I read and looked up images. A very exotic brand name.
Thank you. I thought it was a real word.

Well, it is a real word. The brand name comes from a Thai toponym Si Racha. I think of it as Asian, but it's manufactured in Southern California.

{Si Racha, a town in Chonburi Province, Thailand
Amphoe Si Racha, the district surrounding the town
Sriracha F.C., a football club based in Si Racha
Sriracha sauce, a sauce originating from the town, which has become a genericized term for several chilli sauces}
Then what would the addition of the r stand for? Does the r stand for 'from' maybe?
