Talk:Squid as food

message: The change of the section "Worldwide" and its content into "Squid Preparation" is uncalled-for and culturally insensitive as it erased a lot of culture-specific content (like dish names in various countries). Preparations may be similar, but they have different cultural associations. "Squid Preparation" should be a different section.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.60.243.102 (talk) 07:01, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section Titles 

message: My wife and her friend just spent 5 days/4nights at a resort 90 miles south of Cancun, Mexico.  Since they came back 05-05-06 she has been tired, lethargic, diarrœha.  Has bumps on her elbows, forehead.  Thought it was 2nd degree sunburn, but she is sleeping "real" hard.  Only food ate out of ordinary is sushi and calamari. Has no allergies to shellfish/seafood. Any help with this?70.39.36.243 02:39, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  known allergies/symptoms to calamari 

message: Why limit this article by the method of preparation?  Propose that this article be renamed simply "Calamari" so we can talk about other variations too... Socrates2008 (talk) 08:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article name is limiting 

message: In the English language, calamari is to squid what mutton is to sheep. Deleting the contents of this article and pointing it at squid is considered vandalism. Socrates2008 (talk) 22:32, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. --Gibmetal 77talk 00:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So as someone with "thousands of edits", you are obviously aware of the merge templates and the Wiki procedure for discussing and agreeing the merging of articles.  I wonder why you just deleted the article unilaterally then?  In any event, kindly do not do so again without reaching consensus first. Socrates2008 (talk) 06:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I did assume you edits were in good faith, however, as Socrates pointed out you should have discussed this first. The the term Calamari is the most widely used in the English speaking world to describe the dish that is fried squid rings. To a lesser extent, the term in the other languages mentioned is also well known in the English speaking world, especially Calamares. --Gibmetal 77talk 13:52, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Deletion 

message: I agree with the merger in principle, but the article title should be Squid (food), like Fish (food), Chicken (food), Duck (food), etc. "Calamari" is pretty specific to Mediterranean dishes -- OED says "squid as an ingredient in (esp. Mediterranean) cookery".  "Squid" is the standard, neutral English word. -- Macrakis 18:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger of Squid as food with Calamari article 

message: "Calamari originated in Japan... Because everyone knows that all weird shit originates there".
In this single sentence it is possible to detect...let me see...10 types of prejudice. Let´s see...Racism, xenophobia, imperialistic thought, essencialism, evolucionism...i´ll stop here, ok? Please, don´t let this kind of hateful stuff ruin this great public vehicle of information.
:Probably the result of someones vandalism. Please, take as a habit to sign your comments with four tildes ~~~~, so we can see when the vandalism occurred, and whether it's still valid. I'll take a look. Said: Rursus ☻ 21:21, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Prejudiced Content 

message: As someone who has had generations of my family (including myself) work in the fishing industry, Calamari - even as a food, is a specific kind of squid. It is not the same as "squid" generic. It is a subspecies of squid that especially in Australia attracts much higher prices, has a different taste, texture (its generally softer, and tastes nicer) and also has slightly different cooking properties. 
In Australia, it is also illegal to mislabel fish & seafood products - we cannot label other species of squid as Calamari. However we can label Calamari as squid genericaly, but never do - partially due to the difference in price, mainly because of the difference in taste.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.171.84.252 (talk) 02:53, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Hey, I thought I might point out that it is not mentioned where squids for food come from. From pools? are they fished? etc.
Not sure how to add this so I hope this reaches the right person. GuySoft (talk) 18:40, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  No mention on where the squids for food originate 

message: It seems to be a very minor part of the page, and unless someone intends to develop it further, perhaps it should be removed?Retrolord (talk) 07:35, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This section should be expanded, not removed. The health benefits and hazards of eating the seafood is distinctly relevant, and are included in other articles on seafoods. However the section could have a more general header, such as "Health hazards", and could be balanced with another section on "Health benefits". --Epipelagic (talk) 20:23, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I agree that this article needs improvement. However, peppering it with a large number of individual "citation needed" templates is not helpful since after all it already has a "needs additional citations" flag at the top. I also don't agree that the lead is all that bad. --Macrakis (talk) 23:57, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
