You ever hear of a dish so weird, so bizarre that you just have to try it? In investigating my Italian roots and watching way too many episodes of The Iron Chef, I came across the fact that in Venice squid ink pasta exists. So when my host mother took me to a fancy and slightly romantic Italian restaurant in Hiroshima and I found it on the menu, I could not turn down the chance. To be honest, there is no real way to explain this dish. The taste and texture are definitely unique. Was it good? I don’t know, I would definitively not eat it again... but, I will never regret I tried it.
