Squid Jerky

I love food.  I will never deny that fact.  And one of the coolest things about having Bible studies in China (besides the obvious spiritual nourishment) is that afterwards everyone munches on some pretty nice grub as a way of having some easy conversation and fellowship time.

Well, after one study, a girl brought some food to share with everyone and was passing it around in a sandwich baggie.  It looked very interesting and had a slight fishy smell.

Then I did what you're told never to do in China when it comes to food.....I asked what it was.  She said it was dried squid meat with some added flavoring/seasoning, and that she had brought it back from her home town over the weekend.

It was very good.

Once I found out it was basically squid jerky, I started taking pictures of it as proof that I had eaten such a thing, and they laughed at me a bit.  Then, because Chinese people are the most generous people in the world, they told me to take the baggie home with me and finish the bag.  

I didn't argue with them.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, squid jerky.
