Dried Squid!

Although this snack has become so common place in my everyday life here in Korea, I still have to remember how unusual it truly is! Dried Squid... you can find this delicious snack everywhere and it's served in many different ways. Whether it's dipped in sauces or eaten plain, dried squid can be found in hofs (bars) as snack food, served as an appetizer or side dish (positioned next to kimchi) in a traditional Korean restaurant, or it's even found packaged up in mini shops. It is the jerky of Korea! Many foreigners I've met aren't too fond of this Korean specialty, but I actually really enjoy it, although, I didn't make a particularly appealing facial expression in the picture! It has good flavor and it's really chewy!
