FISH SAUCE

From The Devil’s Food Dictionary
©2006 by Barry Foy (www.devilsfooddictionary.com)

fish sauce - A condiment much used in Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, made of the liquid from fermented fish. A similar concoction called garum was a favorite of the ancient Romans. They carried it to the farthest fringes of their empire, where the Celtic tribes returned the favor by creating a sauce made of the liquid from fermented Romans. Fish sauce imparts a distinctly non-American character to any food, and fans of beans’n’franks, for example, or key lime pie, will find it an unwelcome addition to those dishes.
