Ypu probably do have buttermilk as it's a leftover from making

No, looks very dark and sinister when it comes to the butter milk
situation... this is what a quick google revealed:

nowadays modern buttermilk is
cultured separately

Same here.  It's thicker and apt to be what we use or close enough.

On the squid, we like it and ate alot of it in Japan (very cheap by
Japan standards).  Since the tentacles cook at a different rate, we
save them for soups (they cook perfectly then, poaching with the
soup).
 
I have quite a few squid recipes.  I can post some if curious but
sounds like something not sold where you are?

 
Sadly no. I really enjoy squid and always have it when I go to spain,
but it is definitely lacking in the supermarkets here. =(

It's not in regular markets here either but may be at the pier where
the fishermen sell at the market.  It's sourced at 2 of the Asian
groceries here best.  Sadly, most are smaller so not really stuffable.
For stuffing, you need a core about 7inches long.  They sell mostly
ones with 4 inch body core here.

Ah well, it's just one of many foods.
