Pat, Conimex Sambal Oelek is one of my favourite sambals. Sambal Oelek originated in Indonesia, which the Dutch once colonised. I find it's too expensive and too yummy to use in cooking: cook your meal, out a tbsp of sambal oelek on the side and have a bit with every bite. Yum! Goes really well with kedgeree and peanut butter sandwiches. (Not at the same time, knuckedraggers!) Now it's gone up to Au$4.50 for a 100 ml jar, I don't buy it so much. I now make my own using Thai chiles, and having grown used to this, I find Conimex's offering still yummy, but lacking the kick you get from Thai's. happy hots, Tara -- ______________________________________________________ Tara Deen School of Earth Sciences Division of Geology and Geophysics Building FO5 University of Sydney NSW 2006 Phone: 61-2-9351 4271 Fax: 61-2-9351 0184 email: tara@es.usyd.edu.au ______________________________________________________
