I knew that, you've mentioned it before. How silly of
me to forget.

Squid is excellent, as long as it's not overcooked.
Like snails, it turns into little bits of rubber.

Oh, I've never had alligator. Frogs legs are pretty
good, though there's a difference if you have big or
little ones (with little ones, all I tasted was the
garlic butter).
