just back from a trip to the korean market...went to pick up
a bottle of sriracha sauce, got out only spending $30...
several old friends, one new product, and one that i have
become addicted to...
mary-anne (where are you mary-anne?) introduced me to thai
eggplant, grape size eggplant that are a staple in the far
east...this is a thai product, apparently for the viet nam
market, since there is no thai writing on it, only
vietnamese and english...
it's called "fish sauce with chili egg plants" and in
vietnamese, "huong vi que huong ca mam", which means "fish
sauce with chili egg plants"...toss them into a salad, into
a stir fry, good stuff...and yeah, it smells like fish
sauce, but don't let that stop you...it tastes
fantastic...16 oz. $2.39...
the new product (as yet untasted) is "por kwan chilli paste
with holy basil", another thai product with label in english
and thai...interesting in that it is the first product i've
seen that lists the percentage of the ingredients...(32% red
chillis, 27% holy basil, 14% garlic and some other
stuff...no preservatives or strange chemicals...web site:
www.nrinstant.com...i first thought it was 'mr.
instant'...some interesting stuff, and most of it is close
to instant...like they say on the site, "For flying with
rice, rice noodles, vegetables and all kinds of meat. 8 oz.
$2.19...
