Notes: This stuff is slightly scary looking, but I begged for it every time I went to my grandparents' house. Listed as a "salad", but straddles the desert line.
It was a Nip speciality along with something she called "chopped suey" that was like no other "Chinese" food I've ever tasted.
I would have returned from those weeks with my grandparents a skinnier kid had it not been for the fact that I could always talk them into buying me copious amounts of the sugary cereal I wasn't allowed at home.
