minus-square@PugJesusOPMlinkEnglish4•3 days agoA friend of mine is big into Southeast Asian cuisine and he says it’s a very strong, and very acquired taste. XD I haven’t been brave enough to take him up on the offer to try anything with it yet.
minus-square@ZombiepiratelinkEnglish6•3 days agoOh, if you eat southeastern Asian food I guarantee you’ve had some. It smells foul on its own, but you can add it to anything that needs some savory flavor. Just a bit will do it, but the results are magical. I’d never eat it on its own but I’ll add a few splashes to anything that needs a flavor boost, especially things like stews or curries.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•3 days agoIf you’ve had Worcestershire sauce, that is a form of fermented fish sauce. It’s made with anchovies.
minus-square@PugJesusOPMlinkEnglish3•3 days ago[narrowness of my tastes intensify] If it’s not bread or deep fried, my mother probably sent me to bed as a child for refusing to even try it at least once. XD It’s taken me a long time to branch out at all, and even then, only slowly and without much success.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-23 days agoWow, Thai restaurants are everywhere, at least where I live. I’m surprised you’ve never tried it. If you go to the actual place, they have a version called pla daek, which is the chunky, historical kind made in a bucket.
minus-square@PugJesusOPMlinkEnglish3•3 days agoLet’s put it this way - I pass by far more restaurants day-to-day than I’ve tried in the entirety of my life XD Getting me to try anything is like pulling teeth. Perhaps especially if it’s me trying to get myself to try something.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•3 days agoAh. Yeah, I know someone like that. My fish sauce days are over anyway. For whatever reason they can make vegetables taste like beef, but not even like a humble shrimp cracker.
minus-square@theunknownmuncherlinkEnglish3•3 days agoWas going to post exactly this. It is soooooo good in Thai food. Don’t smell it though lol
I do! This stuff is incredible.
