I HEART Squid & Chorizo

Jump to Comments

I have learned many things here in jolly old England, and one of them is that I LOVE squid.  In my Canadian youth squid did not exist, the closest I came to the heavenly squid was defried calamari, which was very much like chewing on battered bits of rubber.  I have been converted 100%, and actually would maybe even condsider myself a bit of a squid addict.  I never knew this could happen, but the Squid that I was introduced to while working at Vinoteca is soft and tender and absolutely divine!  I didn’t think it could get any better really, until a classic Spanish combination came my way. Squid and Chorizo.  Fresh, young squid is key, as well as good quality chorizo, like the stuff from Brindisa (rumoured to be the best chorizo in London).  I took a half a day off work the other day for the Radiohead concert, and for lunch treated myself to the squid and chorizo dish at Vinoteca, it was heaven on a plate.  Thank you Spain.
