Encre is the French for "squid ink".Squid ink is used to make black rice or black pasta. I once tried to order a Black Pasta and since then it became a favorite. In the Philippines, my mother used to cook squids with their ink intact (Adobong Pusit) and the taste is always more delicious than when the ink is removed. It can be messy eating this squid ink as it leaves black stains all over the mouth, but it adds great fun.
