I'll take a good look tomorrow and see how often its used. (A second
approach might be to find the same dish in another book, and see how
they make it.) I think my feeling was that the Thais had something they
called 'All Purpose Sauce', but its not looking like thats the case at
all, which makes this book's use of the term all the stranger.

I'm starting to think its Golden Mountain and/or Maggi Sauce thats intended.

More tomorrow,

Cheers,

Ian
