I’m curious what you like and how you use them in food.

    Fish sauce! Most common use is to mix with sugar, garlic, chili, and lime as a dipping sauce. It sort of goes in everything though,

    Mam tom is awesome too. It’s made by fermenting small shrimp. The sauce comes out purple with a bunch of black dots (shrimp eyes). It sounds and smells terrible, but tastes great. Typically we mix it with lime, sugar, chili, and a little pork fat. Often this makes it start fizzing and bubbling. Then it’s a dipping sauce for tofu, vegetables, and deep fried stuff. It’s really great.

      If you keep having to add lime, chili, garlic and sugar to all your gross nonsense, maybe you really just like lime, sugar, garlic and chili, no need for the gross nonsense.

        Or maybe it’s fantastic, and even better with those things. I mean, look at the ingredient list on Western condiments. I think you’ll see more than 5 ingredients…
