| Baby squid grilled with garlic and parsley, Bar Ton, Barcelona |
I LOVE squid - don't you? There is something just SO good about these critters, whether baby or adult. When fresh, as you invariably get in Spain, you bite through the protein rich flesh - it shouldn't be chewy and if you find you are eating squid with a chewing gum consistency then, my friend, spit it right out! And on the table, for if the restaurant does you the disservice of serving this, you must spit-pro-quo. Hrumph!

I love the fact that squid is versatile, tasty, healthy AND cheap! They are intelligent beings so tis a pity to eat them so I try not to think about that last fact. Forget I said that. Right now!
