Don’t you love the type of bodega that, instead of having potato chips in front of the counter for your last minute impulse buys, has things like this? The beautiful green rectangle pictured in my hand is an Annie Chun’s Roasted Seaweed Snack
flavor. It contains the following, all of the following, and nothing but the following: seaweed, canola oil, sesame oil, salt. A serving size has thirty calories, and I dare say that they just may have the ability to satisfy a potato chip craving.* The texture is strange, something like flaky cellophane. The flavor is intense, fishy, and salty. Both the texture and strong flavor slow down the eating process, so these light-as-air sheets of seaweed last a long time. And if I could find fabric that looked just like them, I would want to make my curtains from it.
There is a wasabi
flavored variety as well, which I haven’t tried yet.
*While I have thoroughly enjoyed these roasted seaweed snacks, I have not yet experienced a potato chip craving with them in my possession and can not guarantee that your potato chip craving will be satisfied.
