Some Weird but surprisingly tasty Vegetable Recipes

[Major Robert Dump]

I am actually going to try Weird Vegetable Soup if for no other reason than the name is spirited.

I figure the ingredients will cost me about 6 dollars. If I am not satisfied, you owe me 6 dollars.

It was actually a very cheap meal here in Indonesia (well, I'll explain the price difference now)

- two lump (about 200 gr) of mashed tofu
--> Tofu is definitely a cheap things in Indonesia... they are about Rp 2000 per ounce, so total will be approximate Rp 4000 ($ 0.4)

- a glass full of frozen green peas (about 200 gr)
--> He often stock frozen green peas in plastic bags... it was priced Rp 2500 per ounce, so total will be approximate Rp 5000 (S 0.5)

- a big onion (about 150 gr)
--> Onions are really cheap thing in Indonesia, well, especially the big bombay onion... it was priced Rp 1000 each ($0.1)

- a bowl full of black ear mushrooms (about 200 gr)
--> It is common Asian mushroom, priced Rp 1500 per ounce so total Rp 3000 ($ 0.3)

- some garlic
--> He must used his spare garlic from backyard... it was common spices here (free)

- some chili
--> He probably pick that from his backyard (free)

- and some coconut gravy (about 200 ml)
--> And that thing is cheap (Rp 2000) ($ 0.2)

so all he need for his soup is only worth $ 1.5 ..... and you say it was $ 6

Problem is that these ingredients are far more expensive in the United States than in Indonesia,

Most of the flattish-thinnish fungi are virtually tasteless anyway, and only serve to add texture. Replace with something else crunchy, or just do without.
