Yup, same bloke I met!

The only thing is I did not refer to him as a cephalopod...

 ok ok i am not going to have squid for dinner ^_^

Ingredients

    * Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
    * 1 pound clean squid with tentacles, bodies cut into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick rings
    * 2 cups all-purpose flour
    * 2 tablespoons dried parsley
    * Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    * 2 lemons, cut into wedges
    * 1 cup simple tomato sauce, recipe follows or jarred marinara sauce, warmed

Directions

Pour enough oil into a heavy large saucepan to reach the depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Mix the flour, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Working in small batches, toss the squid into the flour mixture to coat. Carefully add the squid to the oil and fry until crisp and very pale golden, about 1 minute per batch. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the fried calamari to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.

Place the fried calamari and lemon wedges on a clean plate. Sprinkle with salt. Serve with the marinara sauce.

YUM-O!

... That is so hot.

Why oh why do I feel that this thread is going to go down the same path as that one about sincere comments??

And calamari while tasty is very rubbery in my opinion.

Especially if you get one of the suckers.
