      More disasters in the kitchen 🤭

      I love calamari, in rings, fried as they make them in the north, like the Cantabrian rabas 🦑 with a very light batter with flour.

      Despite this, for a change and to try something different, I tried a different batter, more armed ….

      The result couldn’t have been worse: soft, not at all crunchy, very unappetizing 🤢.

      #EpicFail …but in capital letters 😅😅

          @betzamedina Pero ojo que de allí también muchas veces salen grandes hallazgos😉 ¿Tienes algún descubrimiento que te cambió la vida al probar algo nuevo, Betza?

          Even if the result was not as expected, what you are doing is invaluable: testing, comparing and getting out of your comfort zone. And that, in the kitchen, is where you really learn.
          The most elaborate breading can work against you if the squid is not well dried or if the oil is not at the right temperature.
          I love that you keep exploring and sharing, even when there’s #epicfail. 🙌

          Love

            What you have done here is worth gold. Sharing a failed attempt with such humor and honesty not only makes you greater, but also encourages others to let go of perfection and be encouraged to try. Because yes, real learning often comes with flour stains and a little bit of disappointment on the palate 😅
            You tried, you took a risk, you stepped out of the safe. And that’s a hell of a lot more valuable than a crispy squid.

            Oh nooo, the betrayal of a batter that promises crunch and delivers… sog 😅 But hey, experimenting is how the magic (and the mishaps) happen. Next time, back to the trusted Cantabrian way!
