Odd Food—Squid Ink

Odd Food—Squid Ink

       Everyone has heard of squid ink pasta, and nobody cooks with it. The reasons are pretty obvious; it’s hard to find, and when you do find it it’s usually $60 and comes in a container the size of a small coffee tin. Ironically, it's one of the least difficult things to cook with in the world. It's mostly "dump" and keep a very casual eye on the consistency because you've added an tiny extra amount of wet stuff.

Odd Food - The Octopus 

       The octopus and should find its way into the home far more often than it does. The reason they don’t is twofold: first, people don’t like whole animals, particularly mollusks, and second, the internet basically tells you it’s easy to cook and terrifies you about actually cooking it.
