每日口說挑戰老外第一次試吃臭豆腐！他們撐得住嗎？(中英字幕) (Americans Try Stinky Tofu For The First Time)

What’s up, VoiceTubers? Leila here. Back with another--
PEW! What’s that smell? Is there a horse stable nearby?
Uh, what? No, no horses. Anyway, I’m back to challenge your--
Oh my gosh, it smells like month-old wet socks! What is that?!
Hey! Do you mind? I’m trying to introduce today’s topic here. Well, if you’ve already seen today’s video, you know I can’t blame my friend for her reaction. Stinky tofu is polarizing--you either love it or you hate it. And if you haven’t seen the video yet, check it out. Watching people try stinky tofu for the first time is always amusing.

In the meantime, let’s get to the Sentence of the Day.

Sentence:
The equivalent of what I imagine, like, gym socks would taste like in, like, a seventh grader's locker that were there for like six months.
它的味道就像我想像中的臭襪子，而且它還在一個國二生的櫃子裡放了大概半年。

From the video, you can see that this phrase comes in really handy when talking about trying something new and strange to you, especially Stinky Tofu.



I’m guessing that based on my experiences, foreigners, and immigrants all over the world probably have to answer the same kinds of typical questions from locals: Where are you from? How long have you been here? What do you do? Yada yada. For foreigners living in Taiwan, after we get through those starter questions and we get to chatting a bit, it doesn’t take long before Taiwanese ask, “Have you tried stinky tofu?”

I avoided it for years until a student of mine promised to bring me The Best Stinky Tofu. Well, I’ve always loved stinky cheese, so I figured why not? And y’know what? To me, stinky tofu is not that far off from stinky cheese--they both taste way better than they smell. I would tell any American now, “If you like stinky cheese then--” Actually, now that I think about it, not everyone likes stinky cheese either. I suppose it really is an acquired taste.

So, what do you think about stinky tofu? If you haven’t tried it yet, would you like to? Let me know in the comments. And as always, when you’re ready, hit that record button with your sentence. Catch ya next time!
