Mizuyōkan - a popular Japanese red bean jelly made from agar.
A blood agar plate used to culture bacteria and diagnose infection.
Agar or agar-agar is a gelatinous substance derived by boiling from a polysaccharide in red algae, where it accumulates in the cell walls of agarophyte and serve as the primary structural support for the algae's cell walls. Agar is a mixture of two components: the linear polysaccharide agarose, and a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules called agaropectin.
Throughout history into modern times, agar has been chiefly used as an ingredient in desserts throughout Asia and also as a solid substrate to contain culture medium for microbiological work. Agar (agar-agar) can be used as a laxative, a vegetarian gelatin substitute, a thickener for soups, in fruit preserves, ice cream, and other desserts, as a clarifying agent in brewing, and for sizing paper and fabrics.
The gelling agent is an unbranched polysaccharide obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae, primarily from the genera Gelidium and Gracilaria, or seaweed (Sphaerococcus euchema). For commercial purposes, it is derived primarily from Gelidium amansii. In chemical terms, agar is a polymer made up of subunits of the sugar galactose.
well i drove down to the ocean
left my heartache way behind
but the rain won't leave and the pain won't ease
and the sun don't wanna shine
so i ordered me up a killer
found a view out across the sea
i sat down in the sand
a drink in my hand
and in the glass looking back at me
i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
yeah, i got a long, long way to go
well i met an old boy from georgia
yeah, his woman done knocked him down
i asked him how's he doing
he stared at me confused
and said, “hey, ain't you looked around?”
he said the rain won't leave
and the pain won't ease
and the sun don't wanna shine
and there's something in the bottom of this drink i just got
and it don't look like a worm to me
i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
yeah, i got a long, long way to go
so we put our drinks together
and toasted rainy weather
and the women that had done us wrong
then we threw back margaritas
the bug just made it sweeter
and we both sang a happy song
i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
yeah, i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
yeah, i got a bug in my margarita
seems bad luck won't leave me alone
i got a woman i'm tryin' to drink away
and i got a long, long way to go
