My husband is a very adventurous eater, and I love him for it (late and unlamented was so picky I often wondered how he got off mother’s milk) but he once ordered calamari because it “sounded interesting”. I asked him if he knew what it was. Oh. And ordered something else.
Long ago when I was young my best friend, who was Greek, invited me to eat dinner with his family. He said they were having calamari.When I set to table they placed this thing with tentacles on my plate. It just laid there and stared at me with these black shiny eyes.After a while the father started laughing and had his wife bring me the hamburger he had told her to make earlier for me…

you may be lucky or just young. as mark twain said, he had to stop frolicking with mince pie after midnight. until then he thought it wasn’t loaded.
