Artificial Calamari... WTF, That's Nasty!

A guy at work was telling us about some restaurants may be selling calamari at a low price.

It seems that the fake fried calamari in question is actually pig rectum, sliced up to look like 'small rubber bands' we see as the real with real calamari servings.

I don't eat it too often, but I'll lay off the stuff for a long while now.

Is this a new urban myth or a tactic for low grade restaurants to save money?

Murica!

That's why you make your food your self so you know whats in it

 

Tastes like ass

 

Thanks for the heads up.

BTW (While in Asia, that's not chicken on a stick).

 

Sounds gross!!!!! The only way to eat calamari is if you see the bodies as well.

 

Get in my belly!

 

This American Life just ran this story. I didn't get to hear it just the promos for it, so I don't know what they concluded.
