You know, I love fish sauce



It flavors Thai soups and curries like NOTHING else.
It's amazing!


For some people, it's mustard or mayo. For others, it's ketchup.


For me, it's Fish sauce all the way!

what's your favorite condiment?












**** OLD SHIT below / ignore it except for history sakes *****

I was tossing some salad the other day, and while I was spooning lettuce and such, it dawned on me that I only ever use 3 different kinds of dressing.

I mean, 3.... like, ever

I mean, it's not like stuffing turkey where you KNOW you're only supposed to insert a few set ingredients. Salad offers endless possibilities for combining textures, colors, and FLAVOR!


My favorites are normally Caesar (I actually add tomatoes to my Caesar salad ), Raspberry Vinaigrette, and plain old oil & vinegar with cracked pepper .

But I decided, oh fuck it--I'm going to go ahead and be daring and try some of that them there Honey Mustard....and thats hit was good! It was totally unlike anything I've ever attempted with Salad, but that's just how I roll when it comes to this kind of thing sometimes.



What's your favorite dressing? How do you like your salad?

salad dressing ruins the earthy taste of the salad. but i like putting like fruit base stuff and or ginger juice on the salad, even pickled ginger will do the job.

I stopped buying commercially made dressings a long time ago

with these in my pantry/fridge, I can make up something on the spot to suit whatever I'm making

honey
wholegrain mustard
garlic
horseradish
mayo
olive oil
salt & pepper
lemons
balsamic and white wine vinegar
fresh herbs
lime juice
fish sauce
chillies

Blue Cheese
French

Faves!

fish sauce and chillies

I used to make my own when I was a raw vegan. I really really need to get back to that.

I made a great Caesar salad dressing with no animal products. I added sunflower seeds (ground in a coffee grinder) to add thickness to the dressing, and it was


I need to try your recipe. Sounds uber yum!

Blue cheese is the choice dressing of 9 out of 10 whores, you know.

Imago said:

no!!! don't put all these together!!! these are essential ingredients for a whole heap of dressings

I don't use a recipe mostly, a little of this or that

Imago said:

sunflower seeds are preferred by sluts 10 to 1. At least I get paid bitch!

ZombieKitten said:

OH!!!





I'm so stupid with food sometimes.

I thought a lime was an unripe Lemon up until I was like 28 or something

When I said 'tossing salad' I was actually talking about S-A-L-A-D Mr. revolving-backdoor-of-love

I have a fat free raspberry viniagrette in the fridge for when I want fruity (and low calories) and I make a balsamic viniagrette myself with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and some herbs when I want/need a bit of healthy fat.

If I make a salad from the salad bar at work I use the fat free catalina dressing they have (and get my fats from cheese and almond slivers) but I'm getting kind of sick of that.

Mostly I like a good viniagrette. I really need to branch out in making more than just the balsamic. I have seasoned rice vinegar in the cupboard and dijon mustard always on hand, I have to remember to change it up more often.

UNRIPE LEMON

I don't like fish sauce.

Mostly cause now I'm all vegetarian and stuff. Or I'm trying damn hard to be. I ate seafood yesterday and I still feel guilty.

But I tried cooking with it in the past and it never worked out right.

adobo...and sazon...

You're just joshin', right?

Why did you change the thread to condiments?

I don't josh about cooking.

Maybe the stuff I had was a bad brand or something, but it never worked.

Let's see...

For Thai food:

Lime juice
Fish sauce in chillies
Vinegar
Maggi seasoning sauce
Kikkoman soy sauce
This Thai seasoning sauce that's perfect for fried eggs
Ketchup/Chili sauce mix from the market

Western Food:

Mayo
Chipotle or Green Pepper Tabasco
Ketchup
All kinds of mustard
Sour cream

My favourite condiment is probably the dipping sauce we have for barbecues though. Kinda sour, chili-based, with lots of lime juice squeezed in.

Imago said:

I can't imagine eating Khao Pad anything without some fish sauce and lemon juice on top. Fried egg on top too, thanks.
