and tried squid for the first and last time.
Ive been in and out of bathrooms since sometime after lunch.....

....and what's up with every one of these places having the same crystal chandeliers and neon lights? I guess they're all related to each other.....

"they're all related to each other" ?

I'm sorry for your bad experience, but is that comment really necessary?

I took it the wrong way, but I don't really think the statement was very specific.

I apologize Blake.

I like the taste, but perhaps it wasn't cooked very well?

I love squid!
And yes, there are chicken balls and even fish balls, though neither are mammals.

Squid is good when eaten at a good restaurant. Don't judge the type of food when the certain quality is probbaly pretty crappy because of the restaurant. If that made any sense.

calamari is great deep fried. it can be good stir fried also.

it's a very tricky thing to cook, it's VERY easy to overcook it, then it's like eating a rubber band.

deep fried calamari with aioli YUM YUM!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing the sesame seed balls I had at the Chinese buffet this week are non-mammalian, too.
