@hhardy01 I shall not let you sully the good names of miso and ketsup!Grilled miso is a fantastic delicacy and ketsup, while it takes a bit getting used to, is delicious too.France has 360+ types of cheese, and some (many) of these will give rotting bloated whale corpses a run for their money in terms of smelliness and sheer disgustingness. But once it's in your mouth? Melted heaven for your taste buds.Source: I am French.

Yes this is all satire, trolling. 👺 Our ketsup is different.The Malay kecap I mean is "fish Kesap. But you can also note the original UK and US:1727Eliza Smith, The Compleat Housewife, or, Accomplish'd Gentlewoman's Companion"The first published recipe: it included mushrooms, anchovies and horseradish."I am fine with miso and grew up on peanut butter sandwiches.Have eaten Stinking Bishop which is vile but good.@ParadeGrotesque

@hhardy01 I knew you were trolling, hence my tongue in cheek answer. And I also knew ketsup was made with fish.A little bit like Viet Nam "nuoc nam", which is also delicious in small doses.
