"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Wow! Another traditional Canadian salad for any time of year, but a summer favourite. The added cultural seasonings of coriander and fish sauce create a savory twist on the original (boring and fat) mayonnaise dressing.
