Stinky Tofu

I can't believe I forgot to mention this in my last post.  I experienced stinky tofu yesterday.  No joke this is the true name for the local delicacy.  Stinky tofu is nothing more than fermented tofu. But by stinky, we're not just talking about an unpleasant odor.  We are talking major stink bomb. Words cannot describe the stench.  Despite its awful odor, which can be compared to manure, its supposed to be pretty mild.  Yesterday it was deep fried and sold by a street vendor.  It was all we could do to quickly move away.  Although, that didn't seem to help.  The odor seemed to follow us for most of the morning.
