say no to stinky tofu
Nainai used to make 臭豆腐 ("cou doufu") when I was a kid. It literally means "stinky tofu". You could smell her cooking it from two floors up. The whole house reeked of it. I wouldn't touch the stuff, but apparently my parents and grandparents ate it with much delight. Wikipedia says "it's is the unofficial national snack food of Taiwan and is universally loved". Joanne says that after the tenth time I smell it in the night market, I'll start coming around to the idea of maybe not gagging when trying to eat it. We'll see about that.
