A few questions regarding allowed food

[Nat]

Hi everyone,

Ive got a few questions regarding some of the food we are allowed (or not allowed) to have....

Firstly - Calamari. Ive always taken calamari to be the white tubes that come already cleaned (and sometimes cut into rings already) and ready for cooking. When I went to the fish shop the other day, I realised that those white tubes that I previously bought as calamari are actually some type of squid. True calamarie was a pink looking octopussy thing (with tenticles and all) that you still have to clean. Now Im one of those ppl that really couldnt be bothered cleaning the calamari and Im not even sure how!! What I am wondering is what other ppl are eating. Are you eating the already cleaned white tubes that are squid or does it really have to be true calamari??

Secondly - Ricotta. Does it have to be low fat ricotta? Do you usually buy it fresh from the deli section of the supermarket or is it ok to buy the low fat ricotta that comes in the tubs? I bought a tub of "Mama Lucia Cheese" brand Low fat smooth ricotta. Its ingredients are just whey, milk, salt and food acid (330). Nutrition wise it contains 2.2g of total fat and 3.2g carbs total per 100g. Does this sound OK and Cohens friendly?

Id be very interested to hear what everyone thinks.

Thanks everyone.
