Thailand is an Asian country. If it's Thai, it's also Asian.
Wow, thanks. I wasn't aware of that.
Look, the problem, as I see it, with calling it an Asian sauce is ... there are infinite kinds of Asian cuisines (and sauces). And they're all very different, and distinct. Call it my pet peeve. But it peeves me to see people act like all things Asian are one and the same. They're not. It's a huge and far-reaching area. People don't call things, or people, "European", as though being Portugese is the same as being Norwegian, or being Greek. Shouldn't do the same for "Asia".
Uh, yeah, they do...just like people talk about "Americanized" cuisine.
Why WOULDN'T sriracha be referred to as an Asian condiment?
Exactly. Everyone I know would classify it as an "Asian" sauce. It IS a Taiwanese sauce - and is named after the city of Si Racha, in Eastern Thailand. I don't see why anyone would call it anything else.
Because calling it a Thai sauce is correct. Taiwan is a different Asian country altogether ... it's 1500 miles away.
The distance of London to, say, Moscow. Which are both such similar cuisines and cultures.
Either Thai, OR Asian, would be correct.
