The Tale of Calamares a la Romana
Story updated
Despite its name, meaning 'Roman-style,' Calamares a la Romana, battered and fried squid rings, is a Spanish tapas dish; the 'romana' likely refers to a general Mediterranean batter-frying technique rather than a literal Italian import. It has become one of the most common orders at tapas bars across Spain.
