Calamari Most Loved By Filipinas,Hated By Americans

I grew up and raised in a country where there is bountiful of seafoods.I love seafoods a lot that I will never get tired eating it everyday.If only I can have a chance to live in an island then I would be happy knowing that I can eat all the seafoods I want.One of them that I love best is the CALAMARI. We filipinas,love it so much,there is no doubt about that.Ask Americans if they eat it,you will get an answer of BIG NO that is for sure.They don't like it for the fact that it's kind of rubber when you chew it.BUT IT'S SO YUMMY NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY.

Talking about CALAMARI,what is Calamari anyways?


The squid is a mollusk related to the cuttlefish and octopus. It has ten tentacles, and like its cousin, the octopus, it also has a protective mechanism which releases a dark ink into the water when it senses danger.

Squid lends itself to just about every cooking method imaginable and is often eaten raw in sushi dishes. Squid is available fresh, canned, frozen, dried and pickled.

Squid is also known as calamari, its Italian name. Since calamari seems to sound more palatable than squid, you'll most often see squid recipes listed as calamari on restaurant menus.
