[snip] I found some hot banana sauce at the Pacific Island Market <http://www.asiamex.com/am.html> in the section for Philippine foods. The price is cheap enough but the ingredients of the sauce are Banana, Water, Sugar, Vinegar, Salt, Spices, 0.1% Sodium Benzoate, FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Red #40. Doesn't sound all that hot to me. -- Bob Batson rcb@kc.rr.com Chocolate is the true opiate of the masses!
