"So what does it taste like?"
"Pretty good"
Ah ok

Fun fact, the actual fish this is made from was fished to extinction by the Romans.

I never would have guessed that ancient romans didn't use ketchup, a condiment made from a vegetable Europeans wouldn't know of for another 16 centuries.

"smells like fish sauce."

Me, entirety of Vietnam, Thailand and ghosts of Roman Empire: IT IS FISH SAUCE!

"Smells like fish sauce."
Yeah, it's a type of fish sauce

My question is who the fuck thought ancient romans were eating ketchup

[moritzneff]

Fun Fact: Ancient Romans did not use Computers… In fact they used paper to write letters

"Pretty good" then proceeds to throw it away 😂

Throws the food away

If you cook that a while longer (about 8 more hours or even longer) you will make rihaakuru. Which is a local delicacy in Maldives. Can be used as a condiment or a side dish.
