Dear Ron:

Subject: LL-L "Lexicon"

The 'shrimp paste' touches the raw spot. According to my grandmother's ayah
they dug a hole in the strand just below the high-water mark, lined it with
banana leaves, & filled it with a catch of sardines. The same was closed up
& left for a lunar month, opened & used. There's your blatjang! My eyes are
streaming at the thought.

Beste Roger

Onderwerp: LL-L "Lexicon"

Ik had wel een probleem met een woord
in je boodschap: "makeer" in "Wat makeer Roger?"???  Gaat het hier om een
verschrijving (a slip of the pen)? Kun je me misschien eens duidelijk maken
wat je bedoelde?

Dankie vir 'verskrywing', 'n lekker woord.

Ja, u het dit reg, ek gee skaams toe. Ek het 'n komma gemis, soos in "Wat
makeer, Roger?" Maar met wederlese het ek dit self uitgewerk. U praat van
Amerika, nê?

Laat ek vermeld: Met ons laaste besoek daar het my vrou se mense beide LA en
San Francisco omtrent onderstebo gesoek vir 'chutney'. Uiteindelik het hulle
'n halfbotteltjie mango blatjang in 'n tandoori ristourant opgespoor.
Vroutjie is alergies vir mango.

Groete,
Mark

Haai, Mark!

That sauce reminds me of _garum_ (also known as _liquamen_), the staple 
sauce of Old Rome.

 Groete,
Reinhard/Ron
