10. Dinner was served soon after I got 'six' a drink; we had calamari. I noticed that 'six' didn't really like the meal. Too much food, apparently. A squid has two tentacles, but how many other arms does it have?

From Quiz Six for Sunday Dinner

Answer: Eight

Squid, the main ingredient of calamari, is an underwater creature with ten appendages-- two are tentacles and eight are arms-- and one can grow to colossal sizes! Fried squid, or calamari, was a dish originating in Southern Europe though its popularity expanded to Asia as well, particularly because of an abundance of seafood in East Asia. Fried calamari rings may be the most popular; squid is fried for a short time and served as an appetizer. If 'six' was thinking about only eating six-legged creatures, I neither knew how to prepare insects nor did I want to. Just grin and bear it!
