Ok, I am prejudiced about certain things

I'm cooking a gourmet meal for a friend of mine tonight. I was looking at recipes on the net.

So, why is it that I'm just not trusting a video of a British dude cooking calamari? Sorry dude, just can't take instructions for cooking seafood from a Brit. :lol:

That's more like it.

He he. I am vegetarian who has never eaten any kind of seafood and I don't even know what that is. LOL. I'm ignorant.

 

[Jazzey]

Nah, that doesn't make you ignorant- it just makes you a heck of a lot more knowledgeable about vegetarian foods than most of us.

I've always cooked and eaten seafoods and meats. I'd be hard pressed to cook a good vegetarian meal.

You've never heard of Graham Kerr ("The Galloping Gourmet")? Jamie Oliver? or any of these other British chefs?

 

[Jazzey]

Sure I have. Love them all. But, this was not a gourmet chef cooking the calamari. He was just basically doing what he would do with a piece of haddock for fish and chips.

Hint: If you're seeking a recipe for squid, don't watch videos for fish and chips, regardless of the nationality of the chef.

 

[Jazzey]

:lol: Good point, I hadn't thought of that.

This is my favourite chef!

During my 'relax' time, I've been having fun watching all of the chef competitions, including the Bocuse d'Or. (geeky, I know...)
