We imagine the answer has something to do with apocalyptic global-economics of the end-times in which our mindless consumer behaviour ends up causing everyone to die under rising seas (for which we are utterly responsible). Boo.

However - the low price kind of makes you forget about all of that and in our quest to stretch the budget, we now find ourselves eating calamari as a staple. Back in Glasgow this animal was a luxury. Thanks to the internet we now know even how to gut and cook them.
The free olive-oil supply and the lemon-tree-in-the-garden scenario adds to the overall cheapness. Another riddle: why does inexpensive food taste so much better than stuff you pay through the nose for?

Calamari was a luxury in Glasgow? Farmfoods and Iceland sell it for £2! :D
Iceland/Farmfoods are actually amazing for fish - always come back with enough salmon to feed the 5000, without any of the Paul Daniels jiggery-pokery Jesus did.
£2 a kilo?
It's a big bag of it - not been in a while though, stuck out here in the wastes of Anniesland!
Dunno if its a kilo, but can't be far off.
More of a meat person myself though. :S
You know what to get us for our Xmas present!
