FB I have some. believe it or not, my grandma gave it to my mom and she gave it to me. it is FRIGGEN old. it took several years to mow thru one disc. it's good. unique. has an earthiness, kinda like a dried mushroom.
I have one disc remaining that I kinda forgot about. my mom said it was expensive and damn near gasp when I broke a chunk off like chewing tobacco and toss it into hot water. I believe there is a process, and some fancy fork to break off sections with style. I dont have the tools or the style.
I'd be happy to snap off a section, jar it up like contraband and mail you some. I'm sure the drug dogs could use the testing.
let me know. disclaimer. my mom had it stored in layers of plastic and stuff. I put it into a ziplock and into an airtight plastic bin. I dont claim to have properly stored it according to any Chinese lore. it is dry. it could taste like a wet dog foot at this point. dunno. maybe I'll make some before I send you a hunk.
