Day 294 of #LMB365 shows a bottle of Caveat mTOR, a hot sauce made from chillies grown on the windowsill of Roger Williams’ Lab. After picking, the chillies are lacto-fermented for a week with onion, garlic, and a few herbs and spices before blending, seasoning and bottling. The protein ‘mTOR’ is a key target of investigation in the Williams lab, hence the hilarious pun which gives the sauce its name.
