Paul-

At this point, it is hard to be sure. You might be familiar with the stores that buy out huge lots and sell off all sorts of wired things. Well, the dried squid-actually cuttlefish, thinking back-was from that sort of a place. It sat in a box here another couple of years. I can't guess how long it sat before I picked it up.

I THINK it was made to be rehydrated and added to some dish. No matter what, it was very old, rubbery, "fishy" smelling, and inedible.
