Edible Grass?
Even with my inexplicable love for vegetables and health food, I can appreciate that “grass” is just not an appetizing ingredient most people look for in food. That’s why when I picked up this tofu from my local Naturalia, I had to laugh that someone would actually print “with grass” on the label. Enticing, I know. This translation faux pas reminded me of the time I was explaining to a friend the problems with the American diet, and decided to conveniently translate preservatives into what else but préservatifs. His laughter was the first signal that perhaps something had gone wrong. He shook his head at me. I’ve never been to the States but I don’t think they put préservatifs (condoms) into the food.
