nsr: content warning for 'Nam vets

[Stig / Major Tom]

New grocery item seen yesterday.
Nuoc mam is a condiment made of fermented fish (often just heads)
One could smell this sauce from a distance,  just as they could smell our Dial soap from a distance

An olfactory memory.

Saw and smelled this made in huge barrels at far east🤦.

just the HEAD of the fish costs $4.25 USD??? A fish head is right up there for me with pig feet, pig ears and cow tongue....I have to pay YOU for this???

You can see where brother Bob was packaged nearby!
I was in a restaurant in Germany in the 60s, and the only thing I recognized on the menu was trout, so I ordered that. Then the waiter came,  took me over to the tank and said, which one do you want?
Oh my. I murdered a fish! And I was only 15......
