Chou doufu
sock is the wrong smell ,more like refined dog manure is more accurate.
but my nephew says it`s taste very much like limberger.
there`s a place in chinatown that make it only on the weekends
definately for the locals,doubtful tourist will give it a try.

My Taiwanese friend invites me to Thanksgiving dinner at a Chinese Buffet restaurant every year. They serve a lot of Taiwanese specialties, but most of them tend to be rather slimy and icky. There were several I liked, but I don't remember the name and they are hard to describe, other than fish is involved in making them.

I once had some fried rattlesnake in Tlaxcala, Mexico. Like white meat chicken, and sort of greasy like everything else fried by Mexicans.

I am looking forward to Uruguayan and Argentine beef. None better, anywhere.

something about it being grass fed

It is not just the grass, it is also the cattle breed as well as the way Argentines cut and prepare the beef.

By the way, I have always ordered the cheapest wine on the menu there, and it has always been great, at around $5 a bottle.
I rarely order wine in the US because the markup in restaurants is too high, and the quality sucks.
