> garum—a highly flavored fermented beef extract I'm guessing they actually mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_sauce http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_sauce from Thailand or Vietnam, rather than http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garum from the Roman Empire. In any case, a fish sauce, not a beef extract.
