09/29/2004 Entry: "The Truth about Soy Sauce"

Robert Brady of Pure Land Mountain has things to say about soy sauce. Don't get LaChoy! "Few Americans, let alone other worldlings, have ever heard of an organization called the International Hydrolyzed Protein Council, which supplies the elemental falsehood (at least it's the remnant of a protein) that goes into American made 'soy sauce,' a non-brewed fingersnap containing caramel color, corn syrup, salt and hydrolyzed soy (or other!) protein. This brownish, salty, uncertain liquid is to genuine soy sauce as kerosene is to Chardonnay."

He had better avoid this article, in that case...

Huh! De gustibus non disputandum est, they say. But with so many *real* soy sauce brands in the world (even Kikkoman!) why buy something that's not really soy?

Yeah, but La Choy tastes soooo much better than any other soy sauce (well, except Chun King, which tastes virtually identical). *shrug*
