Speaking of squids , Yum ink
I was talking to my importer of car parts from japan and kept hearing him munching on something , we get along good since ive met him and stayed at his place while I was visiting . ( He has a jelly fish tank which is beautiful ) ... Anyway I was pretty hungry and asked him to shove whatever he was eating in the crate too . He then said "You like squid ink pizza" , now I have heard of it , But I didnt think people actually ate it . Supposidly its pretty popular over there . Has anyone actually tried squid ink? if not wanna take a squirt in the mouth and report to me your findings? .... I dont know HOW that crap cant be harmful to you but supposidly its used in a wide variety of countries , from doughs ( bread , pasta ) to "pizza" , and just a normal sauce with the ink by itself.
mmmm

hahahaha no , The other day ( I tend to eat everything and force myself to like something ) I was like "k im ganna try this sushi thing again" so I get salmon and basically vomit in my napkin ( haha they give you cloth ones too ) ....
Anyway , someone needs to taste squid ink and tell me what happens .. I hope this doesnt get me in trouble , last time i got suspended cause i was trying to sell a blue ring octopus as "friendly and hand feeds well" I guess not all enjoy my immature humor . What exactly is the "ink" composed of , how is it processed and made inside the squid ? Im just trying to find out how it isnt poison to us.

Wonder if it has a shelf life.

squid in risotto here.
The cooked ink has an undescribable taste. The closest i cant get to is like a metal type taste (like blood), it has the slightest bit of bitterness yet is still sweet. quite nice if you can stop thinking about the fact that its ink. |

Squid ink...
Squid ink is used in the culinary world for color and shock value...it is mainly flavorless however, adds a beautiful black color to almost everything. The pizza that was shown at the top of the page was probably topped with a squid ink bechamel. Bechamel is a thickened cream sauce which sometimes contains cheese. "shocking...isn't it?" Bechamel is also the base to a good homemade mac and cheese!!! Now who's hungry???

It is very hard to describe the taste. It is not exactly like metallic, but it kind of has that subtle bitter/metalicy feel to it. BTW, its not flavorless.. trust me. I made black risotto (risotto with cuttlefish ink) and it tastes way different to risotto with no cuttlefish ink (but still cuttlefish flesh in it). |

i had a squid ink dirty martini at a bar in nyc once...it tasted a little different than a regular one..a bit briny perhaps?...i think it was in my head, though, knowing well that there was squid ink in it...i had a friend taste it and she said it didn't taste any different than her grey goose dirty martini

Squid ink is concentrated melanain, the same pigment that makes you get a tan and what albino peole lack the ability to produce.
Cool thing is it supposedly makes your stools go black. |

Yes it does! It's a delicacy and a natural food coloring in different cuisines. I've seen them in various culinary dishes from Italian risotto to Filipino Squid adobo and French sauces. It has a slight taste to it, but not overpowering as say, oregano. Used in a small amount, it's a very faint flavor, not metallic per say, but a little bittersweet. (It's very hard to describe) If you know of any Filipino restaurants (polynesian restaurants too), try the "adobong pusit" (squid adobo). It's quite good.
