On Thanksgiving I posted pictures of dry squid and dry fish that I was confused about the purpose of and said I would figure out what they were for, and figure it out I have... http://defyinfinity.blogspot.kr/2015/11/happy-thanksgiving.html
I was told they are used for 2 purposes: 1) To make broth for seafood dishes, 2) To snack on. Apparently they roast the dried fish or squid and then just eat them. I'm guessing this would be like us eating prepackaged jerky except that the fish/squid needs roasted even after purchase.
So the thing is that as gross as this sounds to me, it seems a whole lot healthier than snacking on potato chips. I have not seen very many overweight Korean people since being here. Many of these people are short and petite in size. Obviously genetics plays a huge role in general but I think that if they are snacking on fish products that has got to help!
We have been to see 2 movies since we have been here, 007 Spectre and Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II. I was told that at the movie theaters it is not uncommon for people to snack on these things while watching the movie. I asked Daniel to grab me some Sour Patch Kids or Twizzlers when we went to the last movie and he only came back with popcorn and a pop. I was irritated until he said that they literally had no candy at the concession stand. I think that for health reasons it is great to not have candy but for selfish personal reasons I was disappointed to not have something sweet to eat on.
So yea, just wanted to share the new knowledge with you all. If/When I try it I will be sure to let you know!
