Ive bought this brand, before. I'll buy it no more!

In case you haven't noticed, this is the same guy who makes the much
loved Sriracha chili sauce one sees almost everywhere. Sambal Oelek is
supposed to be an Indonesian chili sauce. This brand taste too much
like a Mexican chili sauce (I prefer Cholula).

Huy Fong uses Mexican chilies (serrano? jalapeno?) as his main chile.
How he gets Sriracha to taste like Asian chiles, I cannot say, but his
Sambal Oelek definitely taste like it was made in Mexico fer Mexicans.

If that does not bother you, go for it.

I like the sambal sauce on the table at the Vietnamese restaurant down the street. It has a fermented taste to it with some garlic, fish sauce, and oil added. I'll ask the guy how he makes it the next time I'm there. It's placed on the table in a cheap plastic cup with a ill fitting plastic soft drink cover with a hole cut into it to fit a cheap plastic spoon. It's a very cheap but effective sauce container.

Huy Fong is, though, and the company is a huge purveyor of
Asian sauces (including sambal oelek) in the U.S.

Conclusion:
Sambal oelek is not a brand.
Huy Fong is a brand.

Wow. Possible good information, but almost 23 years late.

I don't have any on hand these days but, living in a community with a
lot of Dutch immigrants, it is sold at a local corner store and a couple
Dutch grocery stores. However, the recent poster was responding to a
question posted in 1996.

Probably Conimex brand then.

Of course she doesn't. OTOH, it's stimulated a discussion among
RFC regulars that's actually on topic. (I feel a little guilty
for perpetuating Kuthe's political thread.)

It only matters because the person they are replying to from 1996 likely
has figured things out by now. The gmail posters are mainly
fly-by-night. I'd be surprised if he/she ever bothers to come back to
read this.

Google isn't promoting more food and cooking related discussions here.
It definitely promotes trolls who are interested in blind dates, etc.

Those must be Indo-Dutch folks?

I know about the OP question being from a while back. I get to see the entire thread because I use Google Groups. My response is pretty relevant because I've been using sambal sauce when it's on the table. It's wonderful stuff - if you desire extra heat.

I certainly agree with you there, O. An old post might never had
been read by others here. No big deal...if it's interesting,
nothing wrong with it...new people and often new ideas. Old food
posts revisited is certainly a nice break from all the bickering
that goes on here.

That said, the bickering here seems to be the glue that keeps
this group going. When food talk gets slack, everyone can just
pick on the person of current interest. lol Once that gets worn
out, another food topic shows up just in the nick of time. :-D

Only 3 of those per day. You read them all don't you, Jill? Come
on...fess up..you do read them all. I'm certainly teasing you
now as I'm LOL. Don't (as in that one pic of you) grit your teeth
and glare as you reach for a knife in the kitchen. That was a
scary pic. I always assumed that your evil x-husband was the one
behind the camera.

"Trolls who are interested in blind dates..." This woman has to leave
home more, see more people. She's creating her own scary little
universe full of Gmail trolls who want to blind date her.

How can he be evil if she loved him enough to marry him?

I think that is more likely one troll using multiple names. My reader is
set to sort by date and the date site posts tend to come in within
minutes of each other in the early morning.

No. They are Dutch Dutch, the type who immigrate and settle in rural
communities where they farm and build churches and schools. The Dutch
have adopted some Indonesian dishes because of their former colonial
involvement in Indonesia. My wife's second cousin/close friend spent
part of his childhood in Indonesia. The first time we had dinner at his
place he served Indonesian dishes. Some of the restaurants in the towns
with lots of Dutch people serve rice table.

Well, it's spicy. I might like a dab of it in a stew meat stew or

You don't need to add that all the time. We know you have a limited
palate and always cook the same stuff.
