My Lunch

6spdChick · 10-02-2006, 03:11 PM

OK so yes I know calamari is octapus. But have you ever seen it as a whole cooked small octapus lol This is in my lunch. Not sure if I should eat it

CoryB · 10-02-2006, 03:17 PM

I've seen those at authentic Chinese restaurants. I can eat calamari and even octopus sushi, but I just can't work up to eating the whole thing like that.

atomicEXcoupe · 10-02-2006, 03:17 PM

Never seen it like that but the legs are the best part......
Not sure if i would eat it either though. hmmm

***Mikey6p*** · 10-02-2006, 03:18 PM

Its awesome. eat it.

***Izzy*** · 10-02-2006, 03:19 PM

Squid, if I'm not mistaken, no? Eat it, you'll be fine. :) Good with lots of horseradish and marinara!

skittleslegend · 10-02-2006, 03:21 PM

Ah, yes, those are what are referred to as "whole bodies". I only eat the legs. JB eats the whole bodies. They're not bad, but you have to close your eyes and eat them with horseradish as Izzy said.

6spdChick · 10-02-2006, 03:21 PM

I ate it... the legs were weird and um ya I like regular calamari

Sli(ks · 10-02-2006, 03:24 PM

cover it with hot sauce and you're good to go

**sickyute** · 10-02-2006, 03:40 PM

but yeah it's good...best appetizer ever...imo

JeShUa · 10-02-2006, 03:47 PM

calamari is squid which is different form an octopus. Cmon now...
We ( the restaurant I work at ) have some good fried calimari.. but nothing with octopus :\

**atruhondagrl** · 10-02-2006, 03:48 PM

Thats one of the ways that calamari is served in Italy. It's actually pretty good.

**CameronJr9** · 10-02-2006, 03:52 PM

Just one more reason I don't do seafood.

8thgenuser · 10-02-2006, 04:04 PM

What's the difference when calamari is served chopped up or whole? It's the same. The legs are the best!

What's a bit weird for me is when I have whole squid at some Indian, Thai and other south-Asian restaurants because sometimes the guts aren't cleaned out. Yes, they're intentionally served that way, too.

***Izzy*** · 10-02-2006, 04:07 PM

You'd vomit to think what we filipinos think of how squid's to be served. Hell, even I'm sick when I think about it.

**atruhondagrl** · 10-02-2006, 04:20 PM

Worse than balut? I love filipino food but I can't do balut.

***Izzy*** · 10-02-2006, 04:28 PM

Not quite as bad as that...but let's just say the squid prepared is actually black and purple. Pusit, I believe it is called.

Oh.... okay. They use the dye in it? I'm allergic to the dye. I can only have cooked squid which sucks because I love sushi. I can't have squid or octopus raw.
