Seaweed is only tolerable when dried, chopped and baked into animal shaped biscuits. Pretty packaging also adds to the appeal. So much so that I’ve been craving these critters for almost a week, but only now have I finally been able to acquire a few boxes that are -as I type this- already half emptied.

A walk to the Asian market on a cold, dull weekend in Belfast might seem like a bit of a chore for most, but both my tummy and myself can tell you it was worth it.
