Seaweed makes a good beef jerky substitute. As long as it isn’t the baked kind, get the dried kind. Chewy and Unami-y. And, yes, salty. Great stuff.

I’ve only ever eaten seaweed in sushi. I may have to try this.
Wasabi cashews = win.
Don’t you mean Umami? Christ, you’re Asian, aren’t you? 
What? Xunxian is Asian? I always thought he was your average Euro-centric (a mix at best), mid-western corn and white bread kinda guy who just happened to have a fascination with all things Asian, and alcohol.
I’m basically that normal half-irish guy who is totally normal most of the time, but on St. Patrick’s Day you’d think they were a card-carrying member of Sinn Fein. Only, you know, ILP is my St. Patrick’s Day.
But why you’d expect me to be able to spell Japanese words due to my extraction (and interests) is beyond me.
Your right - seaweed makes a great beef jerky subsitute. Shame I dislike beef jerky.
In a similar theme to your whale thread, I was at a bar and someone I know produced an (apparently extremely expensive and illegal) packet of eagle jerky. Actually, given the rarity of eagles I actually kind of felt bad, but I couldn’t miss the oppertunity to try some. Still just tasted like beef jerky, though.
I prefer dried out and salted squid. Or the crispy seaweed.
Sorry, didn’t mean to blow up at you, Xun. 
Just figured anyone who goes out of their way to use a word as unusualy as Umami would know how to spell it. 
Still, let he who’s never misspelled cast the first dictionary.
