LOL. In Rome, the highest-value food commodity was a concoction made out of fish guts.

We still eat it today, we call it soy sauce.

If that soy sauce came from China it might be made of human hair.

Actually the closest thing to Garam is probably Vietnamese Nuoc-Mam or Thai Fish Sauce. Worcestershire may be a descendant of the original Garam. You are correct in that it was/is made out of fermented fish paste which includes the guts. It's good stuff!
