Oh? Oh.

Stinky tofu is basically fermented tofu that's deep fried.

It comes usually with pickled cabbage, a sweet and salty sauce, and chili sauce.

I always make a point to get stinky tofu whenever I visit a night market in Taiwan.

The smell was definitely something that I didn't like at first, and I've really grown to love the taste of stinky tofu.

So, today I'm going to be sharing this dish with some of my co-workers and I'm really excited to see what they think of it.

Hmm.

It smells like old shrimp.

It smells like armpit, gym socks.

It smells like like wet pennies.

(coughing)

Let's get a close up on Kane's eyes, 'cause they're watering a little bit.

(coughing and laughing)

Wow, that's good.

I don't like it at all.

It's got an aftertaste.

The aftertaste is like the smell.

It's good. Yeah?

The texture is nice, I will say that.

The equivalent of what I imagine, like, gym socks would taste like in, like, a seventh grader's locker that were there for like six months.

Oh my god, you're killing me, but also, also I can see it.

I'm kind of into it.

She doesn't like it.

I have mixed feelings.

This sauce is dope.

These sauces are really great. Trying to convince.

Definitely soaking the insides is, like, key.

Do people eat this, like, in their homes mainly, or like out in the open?

It's very much street food.

Okay, 'cause they don't want the smell, I'm assuming, to, like, get trapped in their house.

I don't think, no matter if you're Taiwanese or not, I don't think you want that smell, like, persisting. Yeah.

It's definitely an acquired taste.

It's like just left of being really good, you know what I mean? I think it's fine, honestly.

It's just very new.

It's just very new. It's new, yeah.

Maybe I'll like it the next time around.

Okay so, a lot less people liked it than I thought they would, and I'm not insulted that a lot of people didn't like this because there are Taiwanese people that don't like this either.

Like my friend said before, it's an acquired taste and plus, it means more for me, right?

Hmm

You guys want some?
