Instead of popeyes, I've been looking at the cook's country Puritan Backroom–Style Sweet-and-Sour Sauce. I found the ingredients list here https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/2404-9-famous-restaurant-dishes-you-can-make-at-home . I'm just wondering if I found the complete list?

It is a bit difficult for me to accommodate your style of meandering around topics.

 

Now, is this the dish you want to recreate ? Ask for this, specifically. Then make an effort. No excuses as in „I am concerned about the shelf life“ (send it back) or questioning „is this the complete list“ (it‘s a copycat - tweak it if it doesn’t deliver).  
 

I read frequently you aren’t able to source stuff - I can relate, being in Germany and participating in a US/CAN/AUS dominated forum. But if you make an effort you‘ll find solutions. Maybe start asking concrete questions: I am in Iceland and have only access to fermented shark and ice bear urine - how do I make Peking Duck with these ? Chances are high someone will come up with an idea.

 

If you ask generic questions like - well, this one - chances are high you don’t get a satisfying answer. Because noone knows what you are after. And even more so, you are potentially exhausting the patience of a very helpful crowd*.
