Mmm...as an Eye-talian I love calamari. When I was stationed in Monterey I used to love to go the weekly market and get fresh fried calamari straight from the bay. Also developed a taste for squid jerky in japan...yum!
Can we get some nominations for best posting based on local cuisine/natural bounties? As a non service member (on this day, TYFYS all, I mean it), I will place a proxy vote for New Orleans. Some of the best fisheries, deer and waterfowl hunting, coupled with an obvious pick (I think this is objective) for food scene. Will take all comers on this one.
