[WAY OT] What the heck is fish sauce?

[Buttercup]

Yeah Angcuru, I know what you mean. Better not let him near all those chipmunks that fall in the pool and drown. He might try to turn them into lutefisk. Or would that be lutechipmunk?

Hey, I'll give it a try. Couldn't be any worse than being forced to eat Corned Beef and Red Cabbage.

mmmm corned beef. Much better if you add a few whole peppercorns to the broth while preparing it.

And some celery.

But no lutemunk. That's just a bad idea.

How about a leet monk?

Actually, the correct equation is:

Cod + Potato + Medieval Religious Organisation = Fish Friar + Chip Monk

Daaaaang. Those musta been some REALLY BIG FISH!

fish sauce is one of the basic ingredients of thai, vietnamese, laotian, and cambodian cuisines.

it is dried anchovies, salt, water and sugar.

it may sound a little odd but it is great.

adds a nice saltiness that is deeper in flavor then salt or soy. nothing can replace it.
