Scientists Create 3D-Printed Calamari With More Protein Than Real Squid
Study Finds | April 28, 2025 | Poornima Vijayan and Dejian Huang, National University of SingaporeScientists successfully 3D printed plant-based calamari rings using mung bean protein and microalgae, creating a seafood alternative that closely matches real squid in texture and even surpasses it in protein content.

“You Idiot. It’s called Manna, made from a Manna Machine from God. I ordered one from Amazon years ago. (proudly smiling) 😁
Although, since I’m switching to Keto, I’m looking forward to quail eggs for breakfast and roasted quail for lunch and dinner, once I find a supplier…
You MUST fry quail. Anything else is for the birds (of pray). The quail eggs for breakfast do sound interesting….but be careful, the Keto’s are as boney as Twiggy.
3-D printed interns?
…have it endorsed by Admiral Ackbar: “It’s a snack!”
3-D printed puke.
Quantum calamari. If you know what it is, you can’t find it. If you bump into it, you don’t know what it is. Lock it in a box with a carving knife, it becomes 50% squid, 50% calamari. But never unlock the box, because it’ll turn into an angry squid with a knife. No bueno.
I once wrestled with an angry squid off the coast of St. Lucia and the squid had 9 knives coming at me somewhere between half-light speed and light speed but my speargun- spear struck him right in the eyeball, or at least I think that was his eyeball…and I escaped back to the catamaran with a dude handing me a Pina Colada while laughing uncontrollably.
Man. The same thing happened to me.
But mine had an eye patch.
I saw him one once on the eastern shores of the Grand Caymans right by that old 1700’s shipwreck and have underwater pics to prove it.
The next step after 3-D printed calamari is 3-D projectile food poisoning. You just know them minimum wage earners ain’t gonna properly clean the 3-D printer.
… a return to old-fashioned, home-style calamari, painted by hand.
“Scientist have successfully 3-D printed Soylent Green(tm). It’s based on sea algae. It’s better because it’s 3-D Printed!”

Perseus clones to fight them.
Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction:
“Oh, hey, check out the big brain on Fangbeer!”
… unless he was referring to the stop-action Cinemascope movie with pterodactyls, action skeletons, and all. Wait. I think that was Jason and the Argonauts. Doesn’t matter. In any case, check out the big brain on Fangbeer, someone.
Who in the heck do I have to turn to stone to get an obscury around here?
Aha! Another Perseus reference!
Answer: Walrus.
A Walrus in Greek Mythology? Now that’s obscure.
I was disguised as Zeus.
That certainly fits his MO.
I just don’t remember any demi Odobenidae flopping around in any mythic labyrinths or guarding some rare questing item needed to free a damsel from some mad king.
A-Minos.
Hey, all I’m saying is the absence of a long-toothed or whiskered and portly chimera would suggest a measure of amorous restraint that uh, well, frankly, makes the whole claim a bit suspect.
Joe Biden successfully 3-D printed the alphabet once. All 28 letters.
He had a bad stutter when he was a kid and the alphabet sounded like it had 2 more letters in it to him.
Double-double-ewes.
Dissatisfied women and other liberals marrying their 3-D printers.

Was your father as bold as a surging matrix?
How come dot printers just were not bold enough yet?…
And Ink Jet …
I thought the breakthrough was a little latex
Stuff through a jet!”
At least imitation crab is made from fish like Pollock or hake. But calamari made from bean protein and microalgae? Not on my table. Get out.
Plus, it reeks of Maxine Water’s crotch.
Why and how do you know that?
Are we somehow running out of squids?
It’s a scenario that’s been modeled on global warming trays
