Stamp found on a block of tempeh.
Edible, drinkable.
You can eat it, and apparently you can also drink it.

Nature's Bouillon Cubes
May 18, 2004
Roasted cloves of garlic thrown into salted water seem to work as nature's bouillon. I roasted the cloves for about an hour in a hot oven (200� c) and had been adding them to soups like bouillon cubes, but now I'm just popping them into my mouth and eating them like raisins.

You can use the bike to get away from the clams, mud and blood.

The Tofu Section
May 07, 2004
A tofu stand at the open market in Nanjing.
The black tofu is 'aged' and has a smell that takes some getting used to, but once you get past the aroma it is very mild of taste. It might take awhile to get past the aroma. I didn't succeed.

Black Pearl
May 02, 2004
This is a delicious milky 'iced' tea drink with black rice gluten balls drifting around the bottom of the glass. The straw is huge but never huge enough to ensure smooth sliding!
