Deep fried haggis is much nicer than it sounds. I tried it a few years ago in Edinburgh on a rugby weekend.

I had what I thought was fried squid in Spain once. I’d tried squid a few years before, and it was flavourless and rubbery, but I later learned that it had been overcooked. When I saw Calamari on the menu in a seaside restaurant, I thought I’d try it again.

It had a longer name, but a badly translated conversation with the waiter convinced me that it was the same dish.

The same waiter brought out a plate of what looked a lot like deep fried baby squid or octopus.

It was very nice, but I got filthy looks from my young niece for ‘eating all the babies’, so I haven’t had it since.
