Tempe is one of my favourite foods, especially cut into little strips and fried with peanuts. Like sausages, as has been mentioned, it's not wise to enquire too closely into how it's made.

May we please have a breakdown of this term. It's cool having the word for that spiked helmet, but is the pickel here the same as the English pickle?

Dear WW: For a guess, the "pickel-" would be closer to "pike" a spear.
Now I've got to go look up etymology of "pickle".
