The difficulties of Christianity

Today, my dearly beloved (Asian) boss had some questions for me about a Catholic funeral he had attended over the weekend.
"J, what were they eating?," he asks, holding up his fingers in the shape of a circle.
In my head, I do a quick sort of small circular foods: cherries, cucumbers, egg rolls, peppermint patties...mints! Maybe they passed out mints after the funeral? A tasty little memento.
"No, they weren't candy. They were like white potato chips. I didn't understand why they were eating chips during the funeral."

He was talking about the communion wafers. Christianity is tough.
