Try it if you can get it... and if it doesn't cost too much in your area.<BR/><BR/>Lera, thank you my friend! *hug* Talking about black, Chinese love to eat food black... I'm not kidding... so I am very comfortable to handle this dish :D<BR/><BR/>Peabody, yes it is :D <BR/><BR/>Tanna, please go try, but as I said, it doesn't taste special to me.

Thanks for your sweet words, I did enjoy the dish a lot :D<BR/><BR/>Chris, please don't say sorry daring! But glad you left me comment, then I got back to check my post, then realized I had used a wrong expression :P No-so-licorishy is fine, can't wait to explore more about this veg! Your recipes sound really wonderful, I just hope when fennel's in season (???), then I can pay much less :D<BR/><BR/>Marce, it's quite challenging to plate this food esp this wiggling black thing. I know this color should have been looked better if on my jacket or bags :D Oh the price, it isn't high, only 30% higher than that of regular pasta. Texture is great though.<BR/><BR/>Sandi, I missed the city tempo at Trastevere, too bad last time we run of of time, couldn't go there again...<BR/><BR/>Freya, yes I just saw it, love your black rice pudding!<BR/><BR/>Angie, but what's the point to make them black? I mean, (a) because the color makes them look better. But not. or (b), it tastes different. But not. I think if I use fresh ink, the flavor should be bolder *?* But thanks my pal, always with be giving me encouragement and input :) :)<BR/><BR/>Ruth, oh you are so kind! And I got your reply via e-mail, happy Easter to you too!<BR/>That might be the reason why I grouped in more ingredients, probably I aimed for a complex flavor in the beginning. Most of the time, I make my pasta dish very simple though. Yes, will "see" you on Friday!<BR/><BR/>Asha, you scare of snake? Mmm... someday I'll tell you about my story about it, kekee.<BR/><BR/>Ari, oh thank you sweetie! <BR/><BR/>Windwhisperer, if inside residential area in Rome, it has nothing special. But their life style (coffee, sweet, eat, talk loud, and being nosy) is what appeals to me the most :D <BR/><BR/>Sue, me too, pasta and pizza... or any carb.
