Chipiron en ajo

What’s the difference between squid and calamari? – It comes out of the boat, then into the kitchen as a squid, and comes out of the kitchen and on to your table as a calamari ! – There is actually no differece! To most(elitists), Calamari sounds much more appealing and cultured. 

I am sharing a non Filipino traditional recipe ---- Chipiron en Ajo or Baby Squid and Garlic, definitely worth adding to your holiday menu. Serve it as an appetizer or pulutan on your Christmas family reunion !
