so horse chester sauce is just the european version of soy sauce huh?

it's not as spalty and also wistahsheeah is a fish sauce

>>21485346
both seem to have roots with garum with soy sauce being a vegetarian alternative

>>21485349
I feel bad that we don't really know how garum is made and how it's meant to come-out. people keep coming out of the woodwork claiming to have found the truth but I think it's a bunch of bollocks.

It's like this; you can describe a lemon caper butter sauce as "a sauce made from rich dairy and herbs, often with wine", and in 1000 years people will be following their best guesses and making a massive variety of sauces with milk, cream, butter, buttermilk; any number of herbs, with and without salt, red wine or sherry or white wine, boiled wine, reduced wine, etc.

We just don't know. Because it was so popular I have to believe the technique required had to be just so, and the sauce had to have something absolutely delightful about it

90% chance it just tastes like mashed anchovies and lemon

>>21485412
This. With countless little variations based on region and season. There is no way it tasted exactly the same across the empire at all times.

>>21485346
this except western fish sauce is called washyoursister

Idunno man sounds more like wistahsheer the more I investigate

>>21485344 (OP)
No that's Würze

>>21485438
Could be, but worchestershire was an attempt to replicate an Asian sauce so if they are similar it's a coincidence.

>>21485456
yeah idunno honestly

>>21485463
If for some reason they think citrus/vinegar wasn't added, it was probably just fermented fish ground into paste/sauce

>>21485533
the fermented liquid was skimmed off the top anon, the chunx and guts and stuff were left behind or strained, muchwise like worcestershire

I think it can bring decent flavor to some recipes but I hate how its coloring can make your dishes look like the inside of a toilet if you accidentally add too much

>>21485649
I find it's 'triffic to massage into your burgs, you do lose some with the juices cooking out but having it both crust a bit on the outside and having it steaming on the inside gives it a nice flavour

>>21485400
>and the sauce had to have something absolutely delightful about it
How do you know it's simply not the best they had?

>>21486159
I think that would count as having something delightful about it

>>21485344 (OP)
This tastes like vinegar with spices
Soy sauce tastes like salt water
Explain how these are similar

>>21486247
there's no point in explaining something to someone who's arguing in bad faith.

>hurr this is like that but not durr
Gay concept, gay thread. Waste of a thread.
