Don't knock it until you've tried it

One night in Barcelona, Spain, I ordered a squid ink paella. It was absolutely black like the photo shows, but it brought out the flavor of the squid and rice. Then, a couple of English speaking folks walked by my table. One of them looked at my half eaten plate and said "Look! The black one". His friend replied "Horrible". Don't knock it until you've tried it. On the other hand a distinguished Caucasian woman who was sitting next to me smiled at me and ordered a squid ink paella. I think to each his own.
