Eating dried squid is an acquired taste. You certainly would not want to order dried squid when you are eating in an air-conditioned room.
Dried squid vendors usually come out at night and wait for customers from beer gardens and restaurants that are open late at night. The strong smell and salty taste probably kicks people awake.
But eating grilled dried squid is only slightly better than having your teeth pulled. So it has to be prepared properly – as the Thais have learned.
Grilling softens the dried squid and takes only around one minute. Immediately after grilling, the squid are passed through a roller-press to stretch the dried squid – almost like it was chewing on the dried squid.
The squid and a peanut and chili dip are placed in a paper bag and taken away.
