This wonderful burnt chile in oil can be purchased in Mild, Medium, or Hot.
It is a thick black paste that is so good on shrimp chips as a snack.  It also
can be added to dishes for sweet-HOT flavor.  

However the one you make yourself is much tastier and makes a wonderful dip
for raw veggies such as green beans, Asparagus, carrots, cabbage wedges, etc.
It is made w/phrik khee nu (Thai Birds).  If anyone wants the recipe I'll send
it off list as I understand "all Thai recipes" have been posted before.
