Re: HYB: tttt

Hmm... probably the same orange-red color of oriental hot oil sauce, oil
that has had hot peppers soaked it it.  That stuff also has sort of a
pinkish tint to it, I think.

I guess I could soak a tomato in some oil and find out for myself.
Thanks Neil.

                   raw, pure form.  Same goes for the plates or pasta
bowls in tomato-containing
                   pasta sauces.  The stuff is resistant to water, but
sure does finally come off
                   with strong soap.  It emulsifies then gets flushed.>
