My big take away from the situation is "don't get in a legal dispute with the only supplier to an irreplaceable ingredient". Doesn't even matter who was right or wrong in the end.
Huy Fong ("Cock brand") Sriracha isn't even particularly good. Flying Goose brand is much better to my taste buds, and is made in Thailand, not California, so is unaffected by the Mexican red jalapeno supply issues.
