re: #59 Jimmah

Morning folks! Bought some asafoetida as it was recommended by a recipe. Opened the lid and had a sniff. No way is that stuff going anywhere near my food.

I had to look it up.

Asafoetida (Ferula assafoetida), alternative spelling asafetida,(play /səˈfɛtɨdə/)[1] (also known as devil’s dung, stinking gum, asant, food of the gods, giant fennel, Jowani badian, hing and ting) is the dried latex (gum oleoresin) exuded from the living underground rhizome or tap root of several species of Ferula, which is a perennial herb.

I’ll eat anything once but I think I’ll pass on satan poop.
