Believe it or not, the Ceasar salad was 'invented' on Tijuana. Maybe the only Mexican addition to our culture.

Vietnamese fish sauce is surprisingly good tasting when you consider how it is made. It's fish heads and guts that are buried underground in a clay pot for a year or more.
Also, Worcestershire sauce is another kind of condiment that you can enjoy as long as you don't ask too closely about its ingredient list. (Among others, anchovies pickled for years in open-air tanks.)
I think this kind of sauce is giving you a taste of what's left over after the really foul sulfur-containing byproducts of decay (like putrecine and cadaverine) finally break down.

Had it about a year ago. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

I love the stuff personally, guess that comes with having parents that "went native" in VN, where they met. Yeah I grew up eating fried rice with a duck egg on top for breakfast every morning.
