My current bottle of fish sauce has a recipe on the label. During a pause in cooking, I found myself reading it - as you do - and discovered that it requires no less than 4 different products (including the one in the bottle) from the manufacturer's range to make it.
Is this a record?
Do any such recipes actually not require the product you've already got?
PS. I suspect that the legal team at MSE Towers might prefer it, if we didn't "name & shame".
