LiT Pt. 4

As my friend Lauren pointed out, I am long overdue for a new Lost in Translation post. Luckily, I stumbled across the perfect addition in the supermarket this weekend.


Yes, those are Strange-Taste Horsebeans! If that name isn't enough to turn you off, the description on the back lists one of the ingredients as "Chinese prickly ash." Not one to pass up weirdly labeled food when it costs less than a dollar, I bought the horsebeans and had a try.


They were disgusting. Maybe the mistranslation wasn't so far off for once-- a combination of Strange-Taste and ash was a pretty spot on description.
