I had some really excellent calamari and some pretty terrible calamari recently. First, the bad, to get it over with. I was at the Gardner Ale House and three of us split the calamari. It has half rings, and half tentacles. Now, does anybody really want the tentacles, or whatever they're called? I don't think so. I tried some just to be a good sport. They weren't that bad, but really, all I could taste was breading, which wasn't that tasty. The rings were kind of rubbery, which is always bad, and they weren't spicy. I prefer the hot and spicy calamari, like the appetizer at...
O'Connor's. That's right, the Irish restaurant makes a mean calamari. It comes hot and spicy, they were cooked perfectly, not at all rubbery, and no tentacles, or whatever they're called.
You can also get delicious spicy calamari at the Boynton on Highland Street.

You're a moron and should not be allowed to eat calamari.
That comment is mean. But okay, I can understand why someone might think I'm a moron. I recently (meaning, after I wrote this post) learned that rubbery calamari is actually BETTER than non-rubbery calamari. So it seems that I've been enjoying the poor man's version of squid, and I might sound kind of idiotic to squid connoisseurs. Oh well.
I do think it's shameful to post a nasty comment anonymously, however.
You're forgiven.
Leave the gun, take the calamari.
