Article Confusing!
is it JUST a condiment, or is it used in cooking itself? presence of FISH and SHRIMP makes me think this is similar to harm ha/bagoong/belachan. even if leaving out the seafood, is it close to SAMBAL (which, again, is used heavily IN COOKING and not as an afterthought on the table)?

also, what's with the last section? says the ground version might not contain pepper, while then INCLUDING it in the list of ingredients! worse yet, it leaves out ALL of the fishy stuff; is this standard among ground versions?

i'd suggest someone who knows this stuff (i do not) revamp article heavily to sort out: 1) basic sauce, 2) non-pepper version, 3) non-fish version, [4) non-pepper AND non-fish version?] ...and THEN mention which of these are routinely made into dried/ground versions. for all i know, all 8 may exist!

and again, strictly on the table or as a COOKING base....? 66.30.47.138 (talk) 03:27, 8 August 2020 (UTC)


 * hang on, even in the BASIC version, i just noticed you switched from "black pepper" in the description to "peppers" in the ingredients. which is it?
 * i suspect you were just UN-switching in the "ground version" section? as in "might not contain PEPPERS but uses BLACK PEPPER instead"?
 * ok, maybe THAT part's cleared up, but now BASIC VERSION is a mess! 66.30.47.138 (talk) 03:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)


 * maybe it's a language issue. "peppers" in english are soft and colorful (red green yellow, sometimes others).  generally either "bell peppers" or "chili peppers".


 * "pepper", otoh, is a little round BLACK thing, ground up further to make a black powder. sometimes they are also GREEN; these are usually called "peppercorns".  there is also a (much rarer) WHITE version.


 * if your intent by saying "peppers" was these various TYPES of PEPPER, use either "types of pepper" or "peppercorns". using "peppers" makes the reader think u mean BELL PEPPERS and CHILI PEPPERS.


 * maybe u did. the more i read this article, the less i understand!  is it black pepper or chili peppers?!  66.30.47.138 (talk) 03:39, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
