Questão 19 - ACAFE Verão 2021

Text

When it comes to looking inedible the squid

goes all out. Tentacles, suckers, big blobby eyes,

anything to help communicate the message

"Do not eat me, under any circumstances".

[05] There's even a beak in there somewhere.

It's really more threat than feast.

 

Which got us thinking. What on earth

was the first person to eat squid doing?

Who in their right mind could look at

[10] raw squid and say, "That's the snack for me"?!?

 

TO THE VISIONARY WHO FIRST SAW

TENTACLED BRAIN SACS

AND THOUGHT "LUNCH".

 

What a weirdo. What a hero.

[15] Because as we know, squid just happens

to be one of life's greatest pleasures:

chargrilled squid salad, chilli squid linguine,

crisp calamari dunked in mayo...

 

So we'd like to say a heartfelt

[20] thank you to the first person to eat squid.

And to all the food pioneers who boldly

ate what none had eaten before -

giving those funny-looking foods

the chance to be delicious.
