Hi Light487,    I make my mapo tofu "shaken, not stirred"  ,  and it tends to stay together for the most part.

My favorite is Buddhist cuisine.  Wikipedia calls it 斋菜, but I don't see it in the dictionary.  Is this word widely used and understood?

My wife says the best she's had was at a temple.  I've only had it at a few different places, but my favorite restaurants were House of Vegetarian in NYC Chinatown, and Buddha Bodai in Flushing.

I remember John teaching 哥们儿 in a few lessons, with the 儿.  I think that it was the SBTG: Math Lesson in particular.

My 河北 friend was heating up his lunch in the microwave and I asked what he was having, to which he replied 豆腐干儿.

That was the one and only time I had heard that one.

I really appreciated this lesson, particularly the first half.  It would be so great to hear more from Pete and John about Chinese characters.

I really enjoyed this DA, as usual

babardwan,  What's in that last picture?  Is it some kind of gourd?

Impressive!

I asked because, as much as I wanted to like it, I found it repulsive the first time around and was wondering if it's the kind of taste that grows on you after a while.

Hi Pete,

I'm assuming that you didn't grow up eating stinky tofu, so let me ask you.  Did you enjoy it even the first time around?  Or, did it take a few times to get used to it?
