Does thai peanut sauce contain "nam phrik pao" (=chili paste in oil)?

[edit]

I wonder, can anyone tell me? I know there r hundreds of recipes for it, but the recipe talks of chili paste, and doesn't exactly WHAT chili paste...

Peanut sauceSatay sauce – Peanut-based sauces exist in different cultures. For example:

Wouldn't it be neater if this page is renamed as Satay sauce? See also: d:Q107310187 (broader concept) and d:Q81840785 (disambiguation page) --Scudsvlad (talk) 20:42, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's not my reading of the current state of the article. The only place that arguably might diverge from the specific Indonesian peanut sauce also known as satay sauce is the "Other countries" section, and even then that mostly seems to be talking about different regional names or uses for the particular sauce under discussion (peanut sauce aka satay sauce aka sambal kacang etc.), rather than other sauces which are made from peanuts (with the exception of the bullet about "groundnut chutney", which does seem to be a different thing).

Fair points. I was mainly looking at the Other countries section, and the China, India and Vietnam entries didn't seem to be clearly describing the same food item with the same origin. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:27, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom and WP:COMMONNAME. This article is indeed about the Indonesian sauce commonly known as satay sauce. This would certainly always be referred to as satay sauce here in the UK. I've never heard the generic term "peanut sauce" used to refer to it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:35, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. This article is indeed about Indonesian sauce, but globally it is commonly known as peanut sauce. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:01, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is it? It isn't here in the UK, and we have no particular ties to Indonesia. Where's the evidence that it's globally commonly known as peanut sauce? I'm not saying there aren't other peanut sauces in the world, but this article is about satay sauce. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:12, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - it's an article about the Indonesian sauce, it should have a name that is recognizably about the Indonesian sauce. Red Slash 04:12, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'm still quite unsure about this. Looking a bit further, it appears that in the US, "peanut sauce" refers to a variety of sauces derived from the Indonesian satay sauce, but which have pretty much taken a life of their own. This article describes how peanut sauce seems to be very common in American Thai cuisine, yet such uses (except as a dip for satay) are unknown in Thailand. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:19, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose the article discusses all types of peanut sauces, with a focus on satay as the most prominent. I don't see a need to split or to narrow the focus of this article. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 23:33, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
