That’s interesting information, but the number of spoonsful is lost along with the recipe. The stuff had a fairly strong and unpleasant smell, but a steak marinated in it and then grilled was pure heaven. I can sort of replicate it, as there was an equal amount of soy and wine. The rest is guesswork.

You made that cake with  
All the sweet, green icing flowing down  
Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don’t think that I can take it  
'Cause it took so long to bake it  
And I’ll never have that recipe again, oh no
