Busaba Eathai: fried calamari (um...WOW!)


Though we enjoyed all of our meal at london's busaba eathai (see below), this appetizer (which actually arrived AFTER our main course) was one of the best dishes I have ever tasted in my life. This is not hyperbole: I giggled with delight!

The squid are melt in your mouth tender, cut into nice juicy 1" wide rings. The batter is lighter than an angel's kisses. The sauce, subtly applied, is a ginger honey concoction which, if I bathed in, might lead to autocannibalism.

The whole meal for 2, including the life-changing calamari, a cranberry presse, beer, and two dessert teas came to £33, about what I'd pay for gross and greasy Thai in NYC.
