I tried squid once years ago and thought I hated both the taste and texture, but Tip Top took me to a fancy restaurant and the tempura squid tasted... Orgasmic. Try it one more time if you have the cash x
I ate Mongolian beef at a restaurant in SLC that used (what I thought were) baby corn in the pile of ingredients they grilled together. I bit into one and nearly yacked all over the grill. Turned out to be baby octopus with the legs cut off. I didn't even want it. The waiter kept pushing it and offered some for free. Being the opportunist that I am the offer of free food was too tempting. I paid the price.I tried squid once years ago and thought I hated both the taste and texture, but Tip Top took me to a fancy restaurant and the tempura squid tasted... Orgasmic.

That reminds me when I was a youngster and was invited to eat some paella in France. I encountered these little walnut things with a flower on one end. In the middle of the flower, a teenytiny beak. The whole thing tasted ... chewy.I ate Mongolian beef at a restaurant in SLC that used (what I thought were) baby corn in the pile of ingredients they grilled together.

I love grilled baby octopus. The texture is perfect. Like a tough mushroom. Very meaty like a mushroom as well.I ate Mongolian beef at a restaurant in SLC that used (what I thought were) baby corn in the pile of ingredients they grilled together.

I've only tried squid twice, takoyaki, a scallop once and shrimp usually coerced into it by wealthy friends/at a restaurant lol. Seafood is just alien to people further inland I guess. It is often considered a middle class food in some places though in others it is the staple of the working people. Much Like horses in society (are they for rich kids or the vehicle of the poor man?)I wish more people ate seafood. It'd make goin out for dinner a lot easier. We have 'marisqueria' restaurants here (seafood) so its pretty popular. I eat everything in the sea ( I won't eat sharks fin) Particularly langostines and squid. I love the smell of the cooking here as I drive down the streets.
