What a pompous, vain, average chef he is… 🙄
Calamari…one of the grossest things I ever put in my mouth! 🤢🤢🤮 Now the fried pepper rings, those sound interestingly good!
How about a redo with an air fryer?
This channel has a 90s vibe to it
i'm very glad keith is back! but can someone please tell the grocery stores in central missouri to PLEASE supply us with fresh squid?? i've been doing my damnedest!
great to see Keith again
I've never tried that or tasted it… 😉
😎
Keith is a genius! My… it looks so delicious!
As a Little Rhody native, it’s great to see RI getting the spotlight! Also they probably went with the word calamari because RI has a very large Italian population.
written ingredients and time for myself
1 tsp table salt + 1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups AP flour + 1 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp blk pepper
1 cup banana peppers
2 quarts vegetable oil at 350 f , fry for 3 minutes
Fried calamari is like chewing on rubber bands with coating.
Keith Undressed (in my dreams)!
Make extra so you can toss them with your friends afterwards!
Growing up, we called this "Squid Game".
You don't take the wings off because it's unneeded extra work but then trim the tentacles because they are too long? Just leave the long tentacles and enjoy.
Looks delicious but it's alot of oil to waste just on a small amount of ingredients
Missing the link for the calamari recipe. Although it's a relatively easy recipe, I love reading the whole recipe on their website.
If you must bread squid, use a light tempura style coating. But squid is better uncoated and quick fried with garlic and black pepper, or with chili and fermented black beans, or some other way traditional to Mediterranean or Southeast Asian countries where eating squid is a long-standing culinary tradition. There is no reason to bread and deep fry all seafood.
pork bum!!!! the real calamari
Wow! Looks so yummy my friend! I support u .. thanks for sharing 👏( I cook this as well on my channel btw)
Any substitute for milk due to dairy allergies?
