        a bit of a sidetrack ... we (kids and I) are having a treat tonight ...

        simple food ....

        Tesco in my village are selling fresh large Calamari/Squid

        lass behing the counter knows my daughter and beckoned me over .... said it's very fresh and was delivered this afternoon

        bought just over £12 worth .... remove the outer skin and plasticy inner membrane .... slice in thin strips, rinse .... dry ... salt and fresh ground black pepper then toss in self raising flour ... shake off the excess flour and deep fry for a few seconds in boiling hot sunflower oil

        remove and place on paper towel for a minute or 2 and squeeze fresh lemon juice over it

        serve with homemade crispy chips and a salad of ripe small tomatoes cut in half, loads of fresh basil, salt, ground black pepper, feta cheese and drizzled with loads of extra virgin olive oil

        have not had large fresh squid for a long time ....

        wife is having chicken pie as she does not like squid (but she has never even tried tasting it?) ... I'm having her portion

        :rolleyespink:
