Sanctuary from The Mad World
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch. - Orson Welles

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.

Preservatives

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!
