ROFLMAO!!

"And if you're ever chewing on a dense, rubbery ring of calamari at a
restaurant and you think you detect the faint whisper of deep-fried porcine
flavor, good luck with that."

Probably not much different than natural casing sausage. Does not
sound nice though.

Just be happy your calamari is not from where they do circumcisions.

The only way you could fool people is if
they were utterly clueless what squid is
like. You couldn't fool me. And why would
anyone attempt to counterfeit the cheapest
of all seafoods?

Is this like the scallops/skate wings thing?
We haven't done that one for a few years.
Should I start that thread all over again?

I listened to that too. Public radio is so great. I heard the piece in the car while I was driving my son and his buddy back from taking them to the skateboard park. I thought they were ignoring the radio, but they were listening. I doubt that either of them would ever order calamari at a restaurant. They learned a new word, "Bung."

Yick! Fortunately, I don't eat that kind of over breaded crud. They
look like the cheapest kind of frozen onion rings to me.

So "bung" has two meanings? I've seen "bung" hole and "bung" it into
the pan.

You could also say, "this food tastes like shit".

The last time (years ago) I had calamari I was out with a group of
people. We were attending a business function in Chicago and went to an
Italian restaurant. The calamari was battered and deep fried. It's
pretty hard to mistake it for anything else when they include the fried
tentacles on the plate.

One woman had never heard of calamari. She was raised in "the country"
as an adult owned/lived on a small farm. Seafood just wasn't something
she was regularly exposed to. We ordered a batch as an appetizer while
she was in the restroom. She loved it! What is this?! It's squid.
She didn't cringe like some people might have; she enjoyed it!
(Although come to think of it she might not have objected to pig rectums.)

As a non worldly type I have tasted Calamari and Octopus once each. They put me in to the frame of mind of having a nice platter of small diameter rubber garden hose. I would hate to get the artificial stuff..but then dont see how it get much worse than the Real Mcoy. Correct my thinking here. Thanks. I also fail to appreciate much boiled dough as is the custom of Eyetalians. Pure unhealthy carbs which turn folks into chubby boys and girls while causing diabetes and cancer etc. Sounds like yall may can use my help here..lol.

You might want to try to get your attributions (quotes) correct. I'm
not the one who heard about bogus calamari on NPR.

Apparently you didn't have good (or real) calamari.

For sure, we need your help! Heh. Yet another no-carb fanatic heard
from. Here, eat a pound of deep fried bacon while I think about this.

I'm not overweight and I'm not diabetic. Then again, I don't stuff
myself with "boiled dough" every day. I don't know where people get the
idea everyone does that. Maybe you watch too much television. Shows
like 'The Biggest Loser' must really give you a charge.

BTW, you do know them "Eyetalians" brought pasta back from China, right?
There was this man named Marco Polo...

I've never eaten either but I would never eat octopus. They are very
intelligent creatures with distinct personalities and they are NICE
creatures.....same as eating friendly bottlenose dolphins, imo. Might as
well go for human veal....that might even taste better. ;o

Absolutely.

Food is an important part of a balanced diet.

Glad to hear your staying slim. Just dont start exercising and stay away from Doctors. You should have a long healthy life. Dont even go to the horspital to visit. Those incurable germs are everywhere in those places. I only watch edumacational stuff on TV. That is why I am so smart..lol. Great to hear the Eyetalians swiped something from the Chinese. Here all these years thinkng they just pilfered stuff from the Greeks. Shows what I know huh? An examination of my dietary habits would reveal a slightly back slid raw vegan. White flour is a killer as white sugar..white rice..blah blah blah.
