Pat,

Conimex Sambal Oelek is one of my favourite sambals. Sambal Oelek
originated in Indonesia, which the Dutch once colonised. I find it's too
expensive and too yummy to use in cooking: cook your meal, out a tbsp of
sambal oelek on the side and have a bit with every bite. Yum! Goes
really well with kedgeree and peanut butter sandwiches. (Not at the same
time, knuckedraggers!)

Now it's gone up to Au$4.50 for a 100 ml jar, I don't buy it so much. I
now make my own using Thai chiles, and having grown used to this, I find
Conimex's offering still yummy, but lacking the kick you get from
Thai's.

happy hots,
Tara
