2. Calimari is Italian for spare tire.

They really don't taste different at all.

[taterguy]

5. How often do you eat spare tire?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

11. They are chewy like spare tires...

... if they're overcooked. Or undercooked. Either makes them unchewable.

3. It is actually Italian for Squid....

and the best part of Calamari is the tentacle portions instead of the rings anyway

[taterguy]

8. Squid? Are you fucking kidding me?

That fucking waiter.

Maybe I misunderstood him.

It was kinda loud last night.

13. Most Calamari I have had ...

Seemed tasteless. The best I ever had was dried, with sweetner added (honey? Sugar?) from the local Asian stores.

14. Calamari is NOT Italian for onion ring

To me however, it means heaven!

[Demoiselle]

15. I love calamari, too.

But I feel a little guilty about those cute little squiddlies. I overcome my guilt, of course.

[Agschmid]

17. No guilt...

I am apparently evil.

[taterguy]

16. Onion rings are heavenly

You're contradicting yourself

[Lady Freedom Returns]

18. I'll take Calamari over Onion Rings anyday!

[In_The_Wind]

24. I agree!

[nomorenomore08]

19. I used to get dried cuttlefish (similar to squid) sometimes from this Korean market.

Pretty tasty snack.

20. The Sonic has pretty decent onion rings

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

21. I hear that...

...vegetarian is a Lakota word meaning poor fisherman.

[BainsBane]

22. onion rings with protein

What's the problem?

[taterguy]

23. There's no problem

I was merely teaching the Lounge an Italian word I recently learned.

Also, did you know that the Italian word for spit is saliva?

[cloudbase]

25. And innuendo is Italian

for "up yours."

[kwassa]

26. and we all know love flies out the door when money comes innuendo.

Groucho told me that.

27. My sister in law is Italian

and she says if it doesn't have the tentacles when you order it it's not "real" calamari. i have no idea what that means.. I love fried Calamari... but according to the Italians I know it's not pronounced calamari.... it's pronounced calamard!
but what do I know.. I love it
