I have been watching Spanish Chef José Pizarro. He was cooking a meal but the title is in Spanish. I tried to do on-line translation but failed.

Flamenquín de cerdo Ibérico with romesco sauce, calamari and aioli

Yes I saw that, and wondered why he kept saying "Calamari".

I expect "Flamenquín" probably means "Flamenco style" - although Pizarro himself is actually extremeño, same as my wife's family.

The title of the dish, as you wrote it, consists of Spanish, Catalan and English.

Flamenquín (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamenqu%C3%ADn)
(and from his book (http://www.andalucia.com/gastronomy/recipes/flamenquin.htm))

de = (made) of

cerdo Ibérico = Iberian pig

with romesco sauce (a sauce that originated in Tarragona, Cataluña)

calamari = squid (from Spanish calamar)

and aioli (a sauce that originated in Cataluña, meaning garlic and oil)

My question was why would an extremeño repeatedly pronounce it as calamari?

Singular = calamar
Plural = calamares
Català = calamars

Understood. He was using the English loan word.

For a moment I though it was Italian... but English borrowed that from them... ;-)
