I would have thought it was ketchup. But it's not. In many countries in SE Asia, when you see a push-pump out in the condiments section, it doesn't contain ketchup, it contains chili sauce. Ketchup you have to ask for. So is the chili sauce hot? You're kidding, right? You're asking me if the chili sauce is hot in places like Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia where you can't get bland food? Yes, it's hot. I usually cover my nachos in jalapenos back home, but I've had a couple of situations in SE Asia when I really regretted taking a bite of food, because it contained some of the hottest chili peppers I've ever had the displeasure of tasting.
About Me
- RollingOkie
- My grandparents were born in the Indian Territory/Oklahoma. My parents were born in Oklahoma, as was I, my wife, my children and my grandchildren. I was an irresponsbile teenager (it was the 60's, what can I say?) but managed to mature a little. I attend the University of Oklahoma and got a BA in History and went to work for a Fortune 500 company where I was unhappy. Eventually, I went back to OU for my MBA and PhD in MIS (ABD). I became a contract programmer because I programmed much better than I published. I also became a VAR for a firm selling accounting software written in a comupter language called dBase for the 8088 processor. I stayed at it and in the first years of the new millenium I decided I needed a change. I figured that if I was ever going to to do all those things I said that I wanted to do, I'd better get going. In 2005 I sold my house and business and went to truck driving school. I now drive a Big Rig - mine - and I try not to work more than 6 months a year. I make an effort to spend at least 3 months a year outside of the U.S. I'm married. My wife and I have 6 kids and 9 grandchildren. Maybe that's why I like to travel so much.
