RE: Memories Of Vietnam In Pictures: Pleiku

in #photos7 years ago

The one thing I couldn't stand was nuocmam (I think that's spelled right). Fish sauce... I don't know how they make it here, it comes in bottles- but over there they bury fish wrapped in leaves and let it rot. Then they drain off all that nasty liquid (It looks like watery snot) and stinks to high hell!!! They put it on everything.

Thank God Jane's ok! Was it a heart attack? I'll still say a Rosary (just to be safe)

Sort:  

I love vietnamese food and nuoc mam cham (which is made with nuoc mam, chili garlic sauce, sugar, vinegar and water)which we call fish sauce. My youngest hates fish but likes this fish sauce but she changed the name to sea sauce because of her fish prejudice.
Hawthorn berry is the #1 herbal tonic for your heart!

The stuff I'm talking about I think is different... They wrapped fish up in leaves and buried them and let them rot- then they poured off the juice.

My stuff is made with that(from a bottle though).

Those guys had it coming out of their pores... You could smell it on them 10 feet away! And when it comes to fish- I'm with your daughter!

That would be rank.

The stuff your talking about is the origin of soy sauce and ketchup. The Romans had a version called Garum.

Appreciate the prayer - They said that it was "an anxiety induced cardiac event."
I spoke to her - @disarrangedjane is in good spirits - soon to be back on giggle duty!

I had a real one in Oct. 2014 it ain't no fun!!! I thought I had one years ago... bad chest pains all day. My wife came home from work and called my doc who told her to give me something with aspirin- she gave me an alka seltzer and took me to the hosp. (28 miles) On the way I belched- it was gas!
