billcoe Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 discuss. italy, france, china = sauces aplenty = civilized somalia, sudan, syria = not so much? You need to get out of the house more, the horn of Africa, despite otherwise being a shithole in many respects, has some amazing sauces on foods. Syria....sauces...uhhh..... good hashish that they get from Lebanon? (ie, blond Lebanese! Woot!) ..nevermind...LOL Quote
ivan Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 ketchup pretty well sums it up, at least as a product of that which is unique to us - our usurpation of every unction the earth has to offer a testimony to our brilliance? Quote
billcoe Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 We've stolen a lot of foods and done OK, but the Vietnamese have stolen *cough** borrowed* some (French, Chinese are the 2) and absolutely mastered them. Wow! Quote

Syria....sauces...uhhh..... ..nevermind...LOL my intense period of google-fu led me to believe the skinnies only succumbed to the influence of the eye-talians okay, fine - somalias can be civilized - i recall somethign about them thare swahilis of yore setting up shop in-country anyhow - but what of the san? the sioux, firfuksakes? as for syria, closest i've done was lebanese n' morrocan, and can't recall much beyond the need for a bath-towel for want of a fork Quote
ivan Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 who would dare accuse the australians of being accoutered w/ rarefied, civilized sauces? Quote
ivan Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 the hadza? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadza_people holy shit, here are some people who could give a fuck about a fine horseradish sauce! Quote

Wow! Finally something I can agree with bill on. World cuisines ranked in order of perfection: West Coast Mexican (Nayarit through Oaxaca) Tuscan Vietnamese Everything else Quote

World cuisines ranked in order of perfection: West Coast Mexican (Nayarit through Oaxaca) Tuscan Vietnamese Everything else seems to support my theory generally - the longer you've existed as a cohesive people w/ yer shit wired-tight, the more you've to contribute by way of tasty toppings for otherwise bland foods?

rob Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 If sauce is the yardstick of civilization the I think Thailand is off the friggin' scale! Two words: fish sauce. It's the only substance on earth that smells more like fecal matter than actual turds do. Quote

Buckshot Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Don't hear a lot from the millitant Seattle vegans on this one. I am a huge fan asian sauces but its hard for me to pass up good (not store-baught) barbecue sauce. Let the Eastern WA hick jokes roll. Edited April 26, 2012 by Buckshot Quote
