Pretty normal-tasting hot sauce but it's too funny a label not to share.

The more I look at the label the more I think Ganon and Zelda hearts design.

There are very few hot sauces in Mongolia that I've found so far, so I think the mild taste is a symptom of that.

If hot sauce is going to be cursing left and right, it better have some heat to it.

Otherwise, it's gonna be flavored similar to a kiddo droppin' f-bombs for laughs: so precious and increasingly awkward. 🤣

Right. With an army of these jars on each shelf, they really overplayed their hand.

Overplayed and underspiced. Did they crib from Britain's culinary test sheet? 🤦🏼‍♂️

I think part of it is my spoiled palate, traveling around eating good food all the time, but I talked to a couple Mongolian people who said that their food isn't particularly remarkable because so much of their history has been spent as a nomadic people so they didn't really develop their cuisine in the same way as more sedentary countries did.

That's an intriguing point. I'd not considered that, but it does make perfect sense. Feed the horde for a sustained campaign, not novel experiences. 🤌🏼 That tracks, totally.

Yea, they are historically a utilitarian meat and flour people, was how it was explained to me. Hunks of meat to keep moving.

I read that a lot of Mongolian meat was preserved, not air-dried, but slabs of meat were placed under Mongol warrior saddles so that with each bump onto their saddle, the moisture in the meat would get pressured out and the salt from their horses sweat would cure the meat, then after a long ride, they'd have a bunch of cured meat.
