Up to this point in time, I have *never* been given packets of sauce with
any Chinese takeout. I just don't think it happens here in Oz. Our Chinese
food is tasty enough without needing to add extra seasoning.


We do, however, get packet soy sauce with takeout sushi, along with wasabi
packets.

If you need to add extra falouving to your Chinese takeout, you need to
find a new Chinese joint.

[Shaking head......] *Mustard* with Chinese food??

Maybe on a hotdog, or a sandwich......

On sushi, yes.


And the damn packets are small, and hard to open, so you invariably end up
spilling some where you don't really want it.
