Great. Now I’m craving fish sauce. I guess I know what’s for dinner tonight...

I'll be adding a tablespoon or two of "Baby" to the spaghetti sauce, but the prik doesn't work there. I'll just have a couple bird peppers on the side.

Did you know that the Romans had a fish sauce equivalent called "gumur" (sp?).

If you add a bit of nam pla (aka VN nuoc mam) to any italian sauce, or to dishes like beef chile, stews, chicken soup, etc., you will have found the "something" that's been missing for all this time. It's incredible how two tbsp. will make such a big and dramatic difference in so many dishes.

I'll have to try that!
