Grass jelly is definitely an acquired taste. Before I read your post, I thought the photo was of Gwei Lin Go--the Chinese medicinal jelly made from severely bitter herbs and boiled turtle shells. Have you had it?

My mother used to make me eat it when I was a pimply teenager. It did

I think black licorice and squid ink is pretty "ick" too...I sadly cannot think of any other black foods...I hate anchovies and black (and green) olives...does that count?

Other than to indulge in sorbet or sherbert in the summer (cliche, I know), to keep cool I drink water with lemon or cucumbers. mmmm...

I LOVE Vietnamese food pretty much any time of year, even if it doesn't

I used to think my parents had magical powers when they cut grass jelly in their hands with a knife.

Grass jelly also goes really well with vanilla ice cream as a refreshing summer dessert.

Haha! I made this last week with a bunch of other canned fruits. And when I photographed cutting the jelly, I put it on my hands too. Must be a VNese thing. :P

Black sesame paste is pitch black. Yummy! Ha! And guo ling gao (tortoise jelly).

mini ice pellets; love those... although they're extremely elusive, I only see them at certain restaurants and always forget where it was that they served it. So every time I discover a place that has it, I'm get so excited, then obviously forget after a time.

my food challenges are going well too. I only have one more to do, but all of them to blog about! :) good luck on yours! Oh,
