Searching for Soy Sauce

The joys of shopping in a foreign place!
I’m still trying to build up our supply of basic cooking ingredients, and sometimes shop in the small Atac supermarket in Jouy (where Rod works) and sometimes at the small Intermarché in Lozere (where we live). Both are in the outer suburbs of Paris and don’t seem to cater to a very international market. That’s okay, as we want to live like the locals.
But, sometimes it’s hard, when I’m looking for something they don’t seem to have, such as soy sauce. Daily French cooking obviously doesn’t use soy sauce. But eventually in Atac, after I try to explain, in French, what it is—dark brown, salty, often in Chinese cooking—one of the workers says, “Ah oui! La sauce chinoise” (Ah, yes. Chinese sauce). He leads me to a tiny section called “biologique” and we find a row of small bottles of different brown sauces, one of which is labeled Sauce Soja (French), or Sojasaus (Dutch). The lady at the checkout points to the word ‘sojasaus’ and tells me that’s the English name. I tell her that, no, in English it’s soy sauce. She disagrees and asks me what language I speak! A very interesting exchange, but all very amicable.
I now have some soy sauce, the taste a bit different to that we are used to. That’s fine, it’s better than none.
