Oh, Tracy… you are an inspiration. ^-^

I’d like to send you some of the snacks that my in-laws brought back from the Philippines. I’m sure you can find most of them at your Asian Market, I just want to create the illusion that I’ve actually eaten some of them! The tamarind candies are okay, but I couldn’t make myself even one of the tiny dried spicy fish. Damn American-raised taste buds.

no no, the cuttlefish is not a squid. it is related to the squid, but it is not a squid.

I just found your website and wanted to tell you that I love your writing. Your take on things has me in stitches!! Thanks for the entertainment!! I have to go get some Bacchus to try, since I grew up on Flintstone vitamins, and would regularly sneak St. Joseph aspirin to eat like candy. As for the cuttlefish and anchovies…YUM…I have both in my freezer. Have you ever tried Pocari Sweat? It’s tasty, but odd to drink something with the word ’sweat’ in it.

Hey to you too Tracy! Well, to answer your question, since I’m part of a very traditional Asian/Vietnamese family, my family eat all sort of things. I don’t mind if people think it’s disgusting, but I’m very proud of my culture actually ^^ and yes, me and my family loves dried anchovies! =D We eat it with rice and I just really love how chewy and crunchy it is at the same time. Sometimes, we even snack on it like bags of chip or popcorn as you mention xD Yup, and just eating it alone is as tasty as eating it with rice. It’s also one of the few fishes I can eat whole xD

Hi Askagal is it not the actual cuttlefish then, just squid? I feel robbed!

Hi Hoa! Wait until I have the conversation with my mom about the next product I bought. Heh. (Hows that for a plug for a future post?)

Do you like those tiny dried anchovies, too? We used to eat them like popcorn when I was a kid!

Cool! This was a really fun article to read, especially the part when you had that conversation with your mom. Lolz xD And about the taurine, I’ve read some about it. People say it’s suppose to help your heart, but from what I read, truly it doesn’t, maybe a little amount works though ^_^ and yum! Dried squid are pretty good, and you’re eating the same brand as I am ^^ they sell it here at my local Oriental Market, where when I go into the snack section, it’s always there, full and never sold out. But eating it so much makes me wonder if it’s really nutritious for you… probably not xD

you do realize dried cuttlefish is dried squid? I am half Asian so I grew up eating it as a kid and still do today. My kids even eat it who are adults now. Instead of giving them candy as kids, you give them that. Just like in Iceland they give their kids dried fish instead of candy. More healthy.
