Hi there,

Have you ever seen Smelly Preserved Beancurd (Chou Dou Fu)? It is a street food popular in many cities, such as Changsha, Shaoxing, Beijng, Xi'an, Shanghai, Nanjing. Often it is fried in a pan and covered with patato salad and some caraway. It smells really disgusting, but tastes well.

Do you think it is a kind of health food?

That is definitely my least favourite Chinese food! For westerners not familiar with it, the closest I can comapre it with is a very strong Chiltern or Gorgonzola cheese... after all it is a fermented product too. I was once served a fish and preserved tofu (Aus English for bean curd) dish... I ate some but the smell was spoiling the rest of the meal so we had to have it removed.

GUEST01143 Hello

Paul,

Your response to the question is amusing.

What is your last name and what do you do and where do you work?

I really can not bear its smell let alone its flavor. Eating too much fried food is not good for your health.

I don't like it either, but I like the Pickled Bean-curd of Hubei. A friend sent it to me and I disgust it at the first sight of it, but after tasting some I began to like it.
