給我一塊臭豆腐 Give Me A Piece Of Stinky Toufu

下班後在回家的路上，開車經過一片農莊。忽然間聞到一陣似曾相識的味道，說不出是什麼，但是它奇妙地牽動我腦海裏有關臭豆腐的聯想，一時之間有關臭豆腐及我所熟悉的各種小吃的記憶排山倒海而來。想當年我當師大路「路長」（同學封的）的時候，不只是吃遍了師大路、龍泉街的小吃，公館就不用提了，更是遠征士林，淡水，圓環，饒河街，西門町。。。什麼沒吃過啊？但我最鍾愛的仍然是臭豆腐。我最愛的那一「擹」，是在中學時代，老家鎮上菜市場邊邊的一個老爺爺做的。他做的臭豆腐，味道特別「香」，皮炸得酥酥薄薄的，心是軟軟嫩嫩的，再配上他獨門的蒜蓉辣椒和泡菜，真是好吃得沒話説。尤其以前，總得背著父母（爸媽愛乾淨，不吃路邊擹的東西），和同學一起在週六下午，或是補習結束回家前偷偷地去吃。因為是「偷吃」，那滋味就更好了（人性本惡啊）。。。想到這裡，就想起以前的同學，不知她們現在都過得如何？不想了，再想下去思緒汎濫，一發不可收拾，還是那位好心的，趕快給我一塊臭豆腐吧！！

I was reminded the taste of a Chinese delicacy -- stinky toufu -- by a strange smell when driving by a farm land on my way home today. Stinky toufu is my favorite food out of all the so called "roadside cafes". The one I loved the most was prepared by an old grandpa. His little food cart was right outside the traditional marketplace in my home town. I used to go with my middle school classmates on Saturday or after we came out of the afterschool class prepared for we losers. They smelled so good with crispy skin and soft and tender inside. It is especially good with his sauce and pickled vegetable. Because my parents didn't allow us to eat at the roadside cafe for health reason, so it tasted even better when we went secretly(human sinful nature I guess)... Man, I really miss it...and my partners-in-crime... Don't know how they are doing now. Maybe I can google their names and see if I can find them. But, before I do that, can someone give me a piece of stinky toufu to ease my craving?
