Previous studies found that many of the oil amphorae had seals stamped with a "Chrismon," or Christian monogram — similar to the Chi-Rho symbol of Constantine — which suggested they may have been marketed by a church authority, Cau said.

Like "Hebrew National", only different.

Doesn’t look too seaworthy.

No wonder it sunk.

[one guy in new jersey]

Still, though, both answering to an even higher authority...😉

Caesar salad dressing too...

Fish sauce doesn’t really make food taste like fish. Lots of Asian dishes are flavored with it, and you’ve probably eaten it without knowing :-)

I’ve made kimchi minus the fish sauce so basically a type of sauerkraut

[Jamestown1630]

Green Goddess dressing has anchovies, too.

I remember those commercials!

Even Uncle Sam will be answering to an even higher authority...😉

Anyone knowledgeable about far eastern food knows that fish sauce is still used in Vietnam,Philippines and Indonesia where it is named “trassi” It is an extreme flavor enhancer. Smells like hell but tastes divine. Just like those who disdain durian fruit. They’re missing a rge part of culinary delight.

Isn’t that how Worcestershire sauce is made?

[Joe 6-pack]

Not sure if it still does, but the original A.1 steak sauce had anchovies dissolved in vinegar.

Love me some Three Crabs although the Filipino stuff isn’t bad at all.

[nwrep]

Can you please tell us what that is, and how it is prepared?

[kiryandil]

Just scored on two packages of Thai peppers.

There will be pleasant eating for the next couple of weeks.

Some will be going into the fish sauce. Thanks for the tip!

[ridesthemiles]

I think I just lost my appetite for about 35 days. UUUUUGH

[HIDEK6]

I think that stuff was called garum. It was a delicacy.

[mplsconservative]

The Three Crabs brand is the best!
