Adobong pusit, how about this black seafood dish for dinner? I know, I know. It hardly comes across as the prettiest thing in the world. Heck, it even looks like tiny pieces of swollen aliens bathing in boiled printer ink. But have faith.
It tastes spectacular. Just close your eyes if the presentation bothers you and let this bowl of deliciousness from the Dark Lord’s kitchen meet your belly people.
This is made from squid, ink and all, plus vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic. The taste is fresh, like the sea, with a subtle zing from the vinegar. Cut up or whole, the squid is cooked until tender and smelling like kingdomcome. Best eaten with rice.
The color may be intimidating, but I am certain your own cauldron of emotions is even darker, so move past the ink. It is edible. Also delish, have I said that already?
Look, I don’t know if you have similar black dishes in your continent, but this is hardly the most terrifyimg dish in the universe. I wish you can all give it a go.
Yes, you will have goth-inspired lips and teeth after eating adobong pusit, but your belly people will be so charmed it won’t matter. No, don’t tell me it does. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life.
Oh my taste buds I want to try this. Where did you find squid?

At first, I thought they were mussels. However, after reading the description, I found my mouth watering for a taste. In Italian, we call it Calamari. One question: does the ink change the flavor? If not, perhaps some could make it without; after all, anything with garlic in it can’t be all bad.

Not the prettiest dish. In my experience the least eye pleasing dishes also tend to be the most tongue pleasing most of the time

I was once offered squid ink ice cream in Japan. Turned out to be liquorice! But squid and its ink make great pasta and risotto.

First – thank you for liking the recent post on my blog! ๐ second – I fell in love with Paella Negra in Madrid some years ago. Have you ever tried that? It is a similar evil looking dish, but oh-so-yummy. Somewhat different from regular paella, but it’s my favorite!
I would LOVE to try this one! If ever I see something with squid and ink on a menu I get it, hands down, no matter what. I guess I’m on the Dark Lord side too for this one ๐
