Sriracha -- Goose Sauce vs Cock Sauce

On the left:
Flying Goose Brand Sriracha of Thailand "the knockoff"
On the right:
Huy Fong Foods Sriracha of the USA "the Original"
Taste is everything!
With Goose Sauce, there is 22% sugar, with Cock Sauce 9%. This is immediately apparent by the hotsauces having a great difference in sweetness. Cock Sauce is sweet-ish, Goose Sauce is a sweet sauce.
Then there is salt. Cock sauce has 3.7%, Goose sauce 7.3%.
Goose sauce also clearly has more, or stronger garlic.
But we're not buying Sweet sauce or Salt sauce or Garlic sauce, we buy HOT sauce, in this case a hotsauce based on fresh JalapeƱos.
How about that?
Well, Goose Sauce has 61% and Cock Sauce 83%. That SHOULD mean that Cock Sauce has more bang for the buck. Plain and simple, IT DOES. Cock Sauce is CLEARLY hotter than Goose Sauce.
Goose Sauce has a complex, overpowering taste. You get the quite sweet, the quite salt, the quite garlicky, less pepper AND you get MSG
By contrast, Cock sauce has a clearer pepper taste. You taste the quality of the pepper more and it is made to shine, whereas the Goose sauce is more an all out attack on the senses.
Its important to know that Flying Goose Sauce is certified Halal on the bottle, Cock Sauce is not.
Then there are the food additives:
Both share potassium sorbate, xanthan gum and acetic acid, Goose has citric acid - non objectionable. Cock sauce has sulfite and goose sauce has MSG in terms of objectionable additives.
We are cooks!
If you cook a Thai inspired dish, a liberal squirt of Goose Sauce (Thailand's #1 sriracha) is just the thing cause thats the flavor and heatmaker that the Thai prefer.
But, and now comes the final verdict:
For all other purposes Huy Fong Foods "Cock Sauce" is the superior Sriracha. It is clearly hotter, its flavor is clearly more like the fresh pepper, garlic, sweet, salt and sour are tuned down in favor of that JalapeƱo flavor, and because it is a clearer pepper sauce, it makes for a more universal food additive. Flying goose sauce tends to dominate the dish with its own flavor. Cock Sauce first and foremost adds no frills red pepper heat and flavor
Each has their fans and purposes but all in all, Huy Fong Foods Sriracha, the Original, WINS - Go USA

Niether of them are fermented, lactic acid fermented hot sauces have the best flavor IMO. I don't use either of these, for the most part if IM going to use a purchased product I use the store brand knock off of Frank's Hot Sauce and when red peppers are on sale I roast, peel, and add cayenne powder, gzrlic and salt, puree, then ferment to make my own sauce.
A ten day fermentation makes a hot sauce better than anything I've bought. If I have Serrano peppers or Jalepenos, I'll use them instead of the Cayenne.

Yah fermentation is key for these types of sauce. I wouldn't go for more sweetness if anything less. I like the garlic chili sauce way better anyway

I've always found Sriracha to be too sweet. The colour of Sriracha i find very off putting too. I doubt i'd like the goose sauce if it has more sugar. Cool comparison none the less.

Regarding hotness, the goose with a red cap is simply a hotter variant. Not starting about the other 5+, with 3 of them already in my fridge I'm afraid to try.
Anyhow, interesting comparison, the method reminds me of cultivation threads. Shroomy-sciency.

I've never heard of the goose sauce but the comparison makes me think it may be better suited (well suited) for use in stocks or marinades. Whereas cock sauce is a great finishing condiment. I will keep my eyes open for this goose sauce and give it a whirl.
