plates that shared space with car parts just doesn't sound right..."

Mebbe you ain't a country boy?   Out in Hawaii where I'm from*, here's how 
you get a squid from the ocean to the dinner table.

1)  Catch some squids.  Bite 'em between the eyes to kill 'em, turn 'em 
inside out to clean 'em, and throw 'em in the bag.

2)  When you get home, pitch 'em in the wash machine and run it through a 
cycle -- no soap, of course.  Bangin' em around in the washer is the absolute 
best way to tenderize 'em.  

3)  Slice, fritter, serve and eat.  Melt in the mouth good!

Note:  If this process is out of sync with the queen of the household's 
washday plans, woe betide the unlucky fisherman.  One's nearest and dearest tend to 
get a bit frosty when they have to go around smelling like squid all week.
