Calamari aka Squid

Do you like calamari?   I do.   So I was glad to read a recent report on our local KSBY that said the business is booming right now.

 We went to San Luis Obispo (SLO) yesterday and decided to have lunch at our favorite trattoria.   Although we found their menu had changed a little, we were able to order some of the things we've enjoyed the most.   

 Speaking of calamari....




Ahhhh yes, the fresh Italian bread.   We were disappointed that they are now serving focaccia with lunch, and it wasn't the thick kind....so they kindly brought us a basket of bread.


Erik jokingly asked if I wanted to take a photo of his meal, knowing that I would not.   The main ingredient begins with a V and ends with an L.   Criminal.   I couldn't even look.

 Have a great Sunday.   Based on this morning's sunrise, don't be surprised if I have sky photos to share tomorrow.

I don't know what a V and an L stand for. Call me an inland girl. What is that long skinny stuff? Octopi? Squid? I guess not much of this appeals to my sense of taste other than *maybe* I could eat the calamari if it were deep fried. Clams.... no, they come back up as fast as they go down, and you don't even WANT to hear that story. Glad you enjoyed your platter full of stuff.... I'll just have the lettuce. LOL

We used to catch squid when we lived in the South Pacific and I certainly grew to love it...breaded or not! It is a different experience when you kill your food before you eat it.

The rule around here is: Never say no to calamari. Yum!! It works out great for us, because he likes the rings and I like the tentacles best.

A personal fave. Though they are amazing creatures. The bread said so much.

Well, being of Greek descent, I certainly know of Calamari and eaten it many, many times. And really like it. I prefer it breaded and deep fried with a sprinkling of lemon over it, but I would also enjoy it in that fabulous-looking salad in your photo. Looks delicious!

Oh Gosh! I wouldn't have eaten anything that you have pictured with the exception of the bread. And I am now gluten free so I couldn't eat that either. As for the V _L NO THANK YOU! I'm with you it is criminal.

Oh, I love calamari, and any fresh seafood, which I am sure you have easy access to.
I agree with the V__L - I won't eat it either.
