So what does one do with shrimp paste?

bk, you are a riot.



You know, only on the IHB could 50 replies be had on such a topic. Classic.



Prof - I love that hazmat suit !



This is my favorite thead of the month eff !
 
Troop,

Gotta hand it to Eff for starting this thread. It's not quite 50 at this point, but it's early yet. Moreover, we have not gotten close to invoking Godwin. We

haven't seen any kittens yet either. Knowing IHBers, I predict this thread will live for some time...probably peak at 100 posts...
 
Use it like antibiotic creme for your wound. No bacteria can survive in such a medium. It is an excellent ointment to cure athlete foot.

Methinks Prof is poking IHBers with her instigation stick... or is that just her martini swizzle?

<em>BETTER RETHINK THAT NEXT BOWL OF PHO...</em>



HANOI, Oct 22 (Reuters) - A Vietnamese man died and three of his co-workers

nearly suffered the same fate after trying to rescue a colleague who fell into

vat of fish sauce.



The state-run Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper said the accident happened on Monday

in southern beachside Phan Thiet town when a man at a fish sauce factory fell

into a 2.2 metre (7.2 foot) sauce tank.



Four other workers, including the man's wife, who came to his aid also fell in,

and all lost consciousness after inhaling the gas from the fish being fermented

to make the sauce, the article said.



A doctor at the emergency unit at Binh Thuan provincial hospital told Reuters

on Tuesday one of the rescuers, a 34-year-old man, died after being taken to

hospital. The cause of death has not been established, he said.



"The fish sauce tank is very tall and the victims had been lying in the sauce

for a while before being rushed here," said the doctor who declined to be

identified. "When they came, the man (who died) was already in critical

condition."



Phan Thiet, the capital town of Binh Thuan, lies 190 km (118 miles) northeast

of Ho Chi Minh City. Besides being a centre for fish sauce manufacturing, it is

known for beachside resorts.



Fish sauce is ferociously pungent and commonly used in southeast Asia to spice

up dishes.

The cat's feet look very clean and probably smell fresh. We need something dirtier to rival shrimp paste. Fresh shrimp paste has a pink color just like eff's posted photo. The pink color turns to dark purple after a while because of the ammonia and nitrate and further fermentation (rotting). Notice few jars actually have expiration dates because one literally could keep them for years. I heard that women with bound feet during the Ching Dynasty after taking the cloth wrapping (bandage constriction) off their feet stunk like shrimp paste.

bk--you crack me up. How do you think I managed to get IAC to lower my rent? I just told them I would start a shrimp paste BBQ near the pool if they didn't comply :)



Hey what's with the cat photos? I do like cats too. Maybe I should feed the stuff to my felines as well--I am sure they would like it too.

The IAC attorney is working on a "no shrimp paste allowed on premise" rent agreement.
 
Do not feed it to felines or any other animals. Even this Thai Elephant couldn't handle the shrimp paste.<img src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:zJPDc04BUkoSqM:http://bp3.blogger.com/_wvoLtwni0kc/RkKQGoJxsfI/AAAAAAAAIZQ/_PxZuELUtxM/s400/funny+elephant+toilet.JPG" alt="" />

You think that's bad, Prof, look what the elephant had to do to get rid of the aftertaste. . .

BK,



You are correct, the feet smell really bad when these women bind their feet, because of all the infection. But if they don't bind their feet, they will not able to married.



Plus, it was fashion that associated with class....and men would love women with bind feet for other reasons.

Well jeez, at that point you might as well just leave him in there. That'll make the special "founder's estate" batch, like that wonderfully complex 2001 cabernet savignon you opened when celebrating your wedding anniversary. Bonus stinkage if his socks were going on seven days unchanged at the time of his mishap.
