What kind of food is this ?

I just went to asian groceries this afternoon and this thing caught my eye.
I've seen weird and gross food before but this is truly weird.

Look Here !

Anyone seen weirder ?

Its a mushroom-ish fungus that looks kinda like an ear. Not sure what the jew part is about.

it's a fungus

one of my favorite foods! i LVOE IT!

if you haven't tried it before you probably woul.dn't like it. it has a texture similar to jello, only crispier. can be rather weird if you are not used to it

I think some Chinese people eat it for health reasons.

You got to send it to that Engrish site

Well, I do like most mushroom and fungus is pretty close relative to mushroom.

dighn,
From your description, the texture is similar to (raw) seaweed ?
I might give this a try next time.

Wow, so it really is Jews Ears. If only the packaging didn't say Jew's.
