    I know of another one: Sauerkraut and or kimchee (Korean sauerkraut)
    do too, all-be-it rather slowly. For it to become really apparent
    you'd want to not polish/clean your chop sticks and eat a lot of the
    stuff as well... But really any sulphurous food will tarnish
    sterling; it's all just a matter of how long you're prepared to wait
    for the effect to become visible, is all. 

    Fermented fish paste might be another, although I don't really know,
    it does have all the prerequisites present; acidic, proteins (source
    of sulphur), and biological processing (fermentation). 

    Ok back to the regular programming. 

Cheers, Thomas.
