It's a trap!

I went to the grocery store to buy lunch today, and a container of
freshly fried onion rings caught my eye. I got them home, opened them
up, and took my first delicious crispy bite... of a squid ring. Ahh! Even
with my absurdly limited vocabulary and practically non-existent
reading skills I know イカ (ika) is squid. It was right there on the deli
label as part of a longer description.

The moral of this story is always read labels, even when what you're
buying comes in a clear plastic container and you think you know
exactly what you're getting. Surprise squid strikes when you least
expect it.

(Note: While not onion rings, the squid was delicious.)
