I don't eat much Thai since I found out how they made that fish sauce.... Soy sauce isn't that much better.. but it IS better......

Yeah, you got to SEE how they make fish sauce, but that's Vietnamese that specialize in fish sauce.

They probably do, but it's a national pastime with Vietnamese.

OK from wiki

The ingredient found in almost all Thai dishes and every region of the country is nam pla, a very aromatic and strong tasting fish sauce. Fish sauce is a staple ingredient in Thai cuisine and imparts a unique character to Thai food. Fish sauce is prepared with fermented fish that is made into a fragrant condiment and provides a salty flavor. There are many varieties of fish sauce and many variations in the way it is prepared. Some fish may be fermented with shrimp and/or spices.
Pla ra is also a sauce made from fermented fish. It is more pungent than nam pla, and, in contrast to nam pla which is a clear liquid, it is opaque and often contains pieces of fish.

I grant you that. And good point. However, I'm wary of fish sauces in general. Fermented in particular. IDK why. It's me.

Wonder if it's good??

Some fermentation is good for us, especially age old recipes. It's modern, processed foods that do more damage.

Grazing animals can't survive without germs passed down from their parents to digest the grass. They even found human babies are healthier when breast fed. Mothers pass down immune cells as well as "good" bacteria in their milk, can't make up with cow milk.

I wasn't breast fed and look what happened to me.

Sure it is, a delicacy. But it's very, very, very, very, very, very, very fishy. Not for me.
