Fish Sauce

[islandpiper]

Well, curiosity got the best of me. I went out today and bought a bottle of fish sauce. My dear, devoted wife asked what it was and i just told her, "fish sauce.....made from fish". I figured too much information was a potential sticking point there in a nice grocery store in Baton Rouge. I was VERY TEMPTED to open it in the car on the way home , just to sniff it, but I overcame the urge. I may have to put a shake or two in my eggs in the morning. I'll keep you posted.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON

Ya didnt read the link frum Matt, did ya? They ban that stuff on the Vietnam airplanes cuz if ya spill some, the stink dont go away fer years. They warn ya ta be extra careful when ya handle it....kinda like Krypton. Well, guess what I done yesterday. Yep....but it dont stink near bout az bad az they say. Mebbe the Vietnam Nuc Mon dippin' sauce dont smell az bad az plain ole fish sauce?

I gotta find a cork....no, not fer the hole in my head...ta take the place of the plastic cap on the bottle that now leaks when I shake it up. I had ta cut off a nipple on the cap ta make a pour hole. I didnt see no other way. Mebbe they stay so trim cuz they have such a hard time gittin' inta their food? How did it smell? Kinda like Katie Yarbrough did in second grade. Katie's folks lived cross the levee 'n never seen no percentage in indoor plumbin'. I never blamed her fer skippin' a cold shower durin' school months.

Piper San - a man who is a good judge of Scotch, and a poor judge of fish sauce. May he rest in peace.

Any man that eats fish sauce would eat $h!t and bay at the moon on a cloudy afternoon.

If those Vietnamese put fish sauce on their food to make it taste better.....just think how bad the stuff is they eat. I thought I was done with that foul odor 40 years ago! Than you meatballs go out and pay money for that crap! :roll:

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH GEEZERS TODAY? :x

i figured I may as well try some fish sauce at home. Next thing is to put them in the tubs and go get some salt. I'll let you know how it turns out. Maybe we'll have enough to pass out in bottles at the next rendezvous.

Looks like about enough for two bottles of Nuc Mon.


True story: I participated in bringing back two of our POW'S from North Viet Nam to the US. I was an escort officer, and met them in the Philippines.

When they fed the guys on the first release, the dietitians reasoned that their stomachs would not take well to rich food. So they tried to feed them fish and rice. After they swept that crap off the floor, steak and baked potatoes appeared.

When the dietitian told them that steak would make them nauseous, the pilots replied that they'd rather puke steak than eat fish. (There are a few adjectives and adverbs I've learned to omit from this quote.)

Dietitians never did know their a$$ from a hole in the ground.

Kayak Jack, after a diligent search i managed to locate one of the USAF Dietitians who helped out on that mission.

Your vision is failing you old farte......that's a HIM. (Dang.......maybe it was a Her then and a Him now.......modern science)

Times have changed, even in the USAF. Don't ask, don't tell.
