i think i know these 'rice cakes' you're talking
about. years ago i asked about them [here] and
people thought i was pulling their leg or something.
i chucked them all. they're no 'cakes'! indeed
they're hard as a rock, and they're tasteless.
what the hell is this thing anyway?

i want to know where in China these 'rocks' are from
and how they eat them. going to China for the
second time in 3 weeks and i really don't want to
have to go to the town where they make them to find
out.

cheers
