Imagine if someone served you this at a dinner party? I would simply have to get my partner to ring me with a fake emergency.

Dry looking squid ink pasta/noodles, chewy lemon, tinned sardines and tomato puree? Nah x
Looks like the cover of the Primal Scream album. I’d rather eat the album cover and vinyl!

I have no idea what squid ink tastes like, but it is literally repulsive. It'd be like fish swimming around squirting pepper spray or Lynx at bigger thug fish.

Even beyond the clearly obvious awfulness of that so-called culinary dish, it's the basic things such as apparently undercooked pasta and the lashings of lemon that must surely just drown out the taste of everything else before it's even got anywhere near the plate. That isn't fish seasoned with lemon, that's a lemon and fish dish. Subtlety and balancing flavours are concepts that Monroe is seemingly yet to grasp...

That dish looks like something even Lovecraft himself wouldn't pull up from the depths of his imagination...

I suppose if the squid is used for food, the ink might as well be used as well. It’s black so that when it’s released it stops predators from seeing the squid while it gets away.
The black pasta, common or garden stuff just has colour and flavour added though. Real squid ink pasta is real gourmet stuff and not for me 🤢

I love squid ink - it's a key element of arròs negre, which is utterly delicious, although I can see how all that blackness can look offputting.

Having said that, Jack's squid ink pasta looks vile. I dunno if it's all the dry pasta, or the sad little splodge of tomato sauce, or the weird combo of tomato and lemon peel, or the dirty pan. It's just so pitiful.

now, I like squid and squid ink (sorry!) nice delicate seafood flavour (if you like that sort of thing) but the spaghetti jack used in that coolinairy crime is merely coloured with ink. i don't think it retains the flavour, like how you can't really taste a difference when you get red or green pasta

Ozzy Osbourne threw that up back in his hey day. * Drumroll please.*

I'd probably like it too. I like oysters, and they taste of the sea, but sadly I don't eat them frequently enough to be hospitalised for an allergic reaction.

😂😂 I always think of the lumberjack shirts as the 🇨🇦 thing tbh maybe it's because Mr Spam has a whole bloody wardrobe of them which he's itching to break out when we emigrate back in July ...
Mr SM has just purchased from eBay a pair of LL Bean jeans lined with tartan fleece, who knows . I can see Jack embracing the lumber look.

I know that not much of her food looks appealing, but, that’s the most horrible thing so far.

Wait, what time did she make this dish? I thought it was an old picture.How is that going to reheat? Why is she cooking for people, what have they done to deserve that?

I imagine that her friends have a secret WhatsApp where they decided whose turn it is to be I’ll and not go. I enjoy anyone cooking for me, but, not that, please not that.
