M²T³ Event: Calamari, Cabbage, Zucchini and Chili!

Serious discussion ensues. Too spicy? Personally, I’ve never heard of such a thing, but it has been mentioned. Too salty? Sometimes it’s better to measure than eye-balling it. Wow–fresh mint is what makes this dish pop. Recipe here! Do you think bacon is really necessary in this dish? Oh wait, that was just me. I think everyone else voted for more bacon.
