mmm.. I love the preserved plums. They are a good time. I'm pretty
adventurous and with the exception of Durian Fruit (fresh, popsicle
form, or candy form... all terrible... not the king of fruits in my
eyes) I've always been able to at least slightly enjoy my random
unknown purchases. I found Haw Flakes that way, at first I thought they
were like mothballs, but then I translated the ingredients and saw the
symbol for sugar and knew they were edible. Now they are a favorite.
One time I bought longans instead of fresh lychees by mistake and that
was a bad time too. I will give the Lichee Fructis a shot.

I'm not sure if I was clear enough, the "LU PU" was a canister of tea.
I'm not sure if any bits of wolf or pianist were involved though...
I am kicking myself for not just buying it and seeing, but it was a bit
expensive and I was a bit low on cash. I'll go back this weekend and
pick it up. I was thinking someone here would know right away what it
was... at least I don't feel so dumb now.
