Tonight my girlfriend and I went out to eat with two of her girlfriends from work. We went to a pretty fancy local Italian Restaurant. After getting over my own guilt, we decided to order Calamari for an appetizer. Apparently the last time my girlfriend's friend ordered there, she got some tenticles hooked on to the meal. So when we ordered she boldy stated, "We'll start with the Calamari...and can we please have it with no testicles." We were rolling out of the booth with laughter. Talk about a slip of the tongue. We couldn't stop laughing, so the waiter said he would just come back later...but would be sure to convey her message to the chef. :wink:

Oh dear... Freud once again raises from the shadows.... :grad: she shouldve tried to blame the vino :wine: How was it prepared? fried? also, how was it?

Personally, i think the tentacles can be better than the tubes depending on the cook (tentacles being easier to tell when properly done)

It was fried mantles. I'd give it a 7. A little chewy but the batter was great. The name of the restaurant is "Carabas" by the way. Not sure if they're just a NC chain or if there everywhere. I've never had the tenticles.

:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:


:lol:

Theyre a chain, i think a smaller national chain... i think ive had their calamari....not bad, but nothing spectacular

Still think the Buckhead Diner (Atlanta) had some of the best ive ever tasted....

Thats a great place in total. But IMO - Veni Vedi Vechi in ATL is better! :D

I like mine with testicles on please :mrgreen:

Why didn't you guys want the tentacles? Were they not properly done the last time?

I didn't make the request, she did. It came as a total surprise to us. :roll:

Squids are not for human consumption.

It just makes me wonder, Steve, do you eat squid?

if memory serves, its ocot steve doesnt eat....

ocotsquink - It all depends on the preparation....

Yep, :oshea: :heart: :squid: , :yuck: :octopus: .

It just makes me wonder, Steve, do you eat squid?

:cry:
.... yes

If you make it stateside, will you bring an Archi sampler?

:heart: :cthulhu: :heart: :tentacle: :beer: + :archi:

Cupidlhu loves trying new things....

what the hell, the title of this topic is totally outrageous I say! :P
just came to take a peek ay.. :periscop:

I was at an aquarium watching a GPO once when a small child asked her mother if those were his "testicles'. Heheh she then started laughing and told her friend what her daughter had just accidently asked.

i just saw a commercial that starts with "the word is tentacles... besides i dont think there are any octopuses in this lake anyway."


:thumbsup: except for not using octopi :thumbsdo:

Oh, I give them a big :thumbsup: for using "octopuses" myself... it's technically correct... :grad:

The english language is meant to be broken, adapt and other such nonsense.... except for the asinine things typed in chat rooms... i dont count that as english...

Therefore, Say octopi or else! :cthulhu:


:)

octopodes

:P

Apparently "Octopii" is more correct then "Octopi" :)

SOS said it wasnt. ;)


I like octopuses...

Don't know bout American English but it was correct for British... :roll:
