But that it not what black fungus is. Black fungus is a foodstuff. You rehydrate it like dried porcini mushrooms. You put it in Lo Han Jai.
I'm messy but not dirty, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, that it a good introduction to something that has cheered me up all week. It cheers me up so effectively that it has just been put up on the fridge. It is possibly the most literally interpreted Chinese food menu in the world. Care for some blood curd?

Ah, that clears things up a bitI haven't run into that one, but I've seen "burnt meat" and "rotten" flavored crackers at the local Asian market. I'm just going to assume that rotten was some poor marketing guy's attempt at describing kimchee to westerners.
Happy Smells is a real place? The oddest named Chinese place we have here is New Big Wong. Though there is a sandwich shop with a neon sign in the window advertising "free smells."
You can get this rotten tofu stuff, but it makes me feel funny thinking about it.
I can't even think about fungi for too long.
