Yes, I think that everyone is interested in ancient fish sauces. Everyone, I say.

I heard a fascinating talk from a woman who recreates Roman recipes, about how much difficulty she had persuading a Thai company which makes fish sauce to tell her how they did it. Apparently they didn't feel that sensitive Westerners were ready to hear 'we dump fish guts in a big, big vat, leave them to rot, and then strain the juices out'. In which they were quite wrong, because that was exactly what she did want to hear.

	Clearly that company has never heard of Good Eats. Brown spent a great deal of the pad thai episode talking about how they make fish sauce. Although it wasn't fish guts, it was whole fish. But the rest was there. (Reply to this)(Parent)
