I hope you people understand the sacrifices I'm willing to undertake on your behalf. Today I went to a local Asian market and picked up a bottle of Three Crabs brand Vietnamese nuoc mam. Tomorrow, I'll try dipping some pot stickers in it and report. The reason this is a sacrifice is that, while I am an enthusiastic cook and even went to school to study Chinese cooking, back when I was a young GI in Vietnam in 1970, we called the stuff "armpit sauce," and when I got a whiff of what's in the bottle I just bought, I remembered why. <p></p><i></i>
