With? Or Without?
A friend gave me a bottle of sambal from Singapore and by habit, I looked at the label. A prominent sign at the front screamed "No preservatives". Great! I scrutinize the English list of ingredients, they’re all legit. Check out the ingredient list in French.

I am not naive. Of course preservatives are used. But I dislike the trickiness. In the French list of ingredients? Written in English? As if no one would notice.
Having said that, I will use this sambal with gratitude to produce delicious dishes. Nasi Lemak, Kangkong Belachan, coming up!
