I am curious about adobo sauce. I did a web search and found out that adobo is a cooking method that started in the Philippines. Many other cultures have adapted adobo to their own tastes and now the word can be a noun, a verb, and an adjective. Bottom line - Adobo is not standard. I found chilies in adobo sauce, adobo mole, pineapples adobo, dry adobo (which I have), and adobo curry sauce, among others. Do you make your own adobo sauce? It sounds like it is a moist product, not dry like the Goya Adobo I have.
