Goth pasta

[triskellian]

One of the most memorable things smiorgan and I ate on our honeymoon in Venice was risotto nero, made with cuttlefish ink - which really did make the whole thing black - and ever since then I've vaguely been looking for somewhere to buy some and attempt the same thing at home

Ah... arroz negro. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arroz_negro
It does indeed have an interesting flavour. And i'm feeling nice so you get a link in English :-)

Cthulhu would eat Black Pasta.

(I know have Arcade Fire's 'Black mirror' running through my head. Except the chorus is now Black Pasta. )

(You do realize that when viewed on your journal, there is no icon, right? That's twice in the last week or so you've mentioned your icon, but I can only see it on my friends page.:-P)

It sounded interesting until you got to the fishy taste. Blech. sosoclever's don't like fishy.:-P

[sosoclever]

Oh, wait, the first time I think it referred to the icon you used in your comment. But still!

[triskellian]

I almost always use the same icons in comments as on the post.

But yeah, I know it doesn't display on my journal style. I keep meaning to poke around the style system and either work out how to turn it on, or find an alternative style I like which displays them. But I figure most people view on their friends page and/or with their own style (because I do; my sample size may be somewhat small).

[sosoclever]

I read it on my friends page, but you can't "view in own style" unless you have a paid account (I think), so once I go to read comments, or add my own, your icon disappears.

I try to fit my icon to what I'm writing. I seem to be "defaulting" to "moose" far more than my actual default icon.

I'm surprised it hasn't spread further due to the cool factor of black food.
