i dunno what it was that i had at this chinese place last week (i dindt
order it), but it came with the spring rolls, and i vaguely recall that
whoever brought it said it was mustard, and sure looked the part, smelled
aweful and first taste wasn't so bad, just odd, but few seconds later all
the passages in your mouth and nasal cavity felt like they were on fire
and "tasted" like paint thinner. waiter was amused when the entire table
asked for some ketchup in lieu of the sauce.
