Ok, yesterday I joined the fish sauce taste-testing crowd.<br>
I was wandering through the Oriental section of the grocery store and found Golden Boy Brand Fish Sauce. It says, "Winning first prize guaranteed by Kasetsart University, Thailand year after year as the best Thai authentic fish sauce." It only cost $1.78 so I bought a bottle, took it home, smelled it My first impression was sweaty socks, but that wasn't quite right so I smelled it again and thought--barnyard. I heated up a spring roll to dip in it, and as long as I didn't breathe while eating it, it was tolerable. I'm thinking that wet-dog-smelling stuff in the restaurant was either not fish sauce, or a very mild type.<br>
