I had thought that my friends were kidding when they mentioned squid ink pasta. Had I ever wondered whether squid ink would be edible, I would probably have guessed that it wasn’t. Apparently it is. (Whether it would be kosher is a different question. And I don’t think it would be vegan friendly. I don’t [...]
