I'm waiting to hear back from my friend to see what the items were. Here's my thoughts on number one: dried frozen meat / freeze-dried meat? It's a stretch, and I can't quite figure out what agarit is. There's agar-agar which is a gelatin-like substance made from a sea weed, but I can't imagine cooking with it.

I was thinking of something seaweedish for agarit, it will be interesting to find out for sure.

The only guess I can make for #1 is that something is apparently floating...
Thought I'd put here that when I did a search for foods that are good for sick people, one of the sites which, by some of the ingredients I'm guessing has to do with India or thereabouts, has listed "sizzled buttermilk".

Wow, you learn something every day. Including the fact that Texas apparently has a Jim Hogg county.
