Yes, read them! She includes food references in most of her stories, and likes to describe characters using food similes: “Rendi’s muscles were as soft as uncooked tofu. . .” 🙂 Stinky tofu, in particular, figures in this story quite prominently.

Yes, you probably would 😉 The smell can be quite off-putting. But if you find any, Jama, do give it a try!
