Ever wonder how they make that black pasta black? Well, more than likely they're using the ink produced by squids, and other members of the cephalopod family to defend them from predators. ; In today's episode of WTF, we took the squid ink and used it to make the darkest risotto you've ever seen!

That...actually looks good. ahah. But does the ink taste like squid?? haha I think I'm still afraid to try it :P

[danieldelaney]

@tokyoxjapanxfan Oh you shouldn't be! It really doesn't change the flavor that much, and it doesn't taste like squid at all.
