Frog in boiling water

Had two octopus legs for an appetizer with dinner last night. It was excellent they served it with guacamole and a slightly spicy sauce.

My memories of calamari (octopus or squid?) was having it in Sicily when I was in the US Navy.

Looked like onion rings, chewed like rubber bands.

Saw a woman cleaning octopus in Naples, Italy. On a rock, in the ocean water. Beating the crap out of it (literally) with a stone. Turn it inside out, beat on it some more.

Like liver, not on my “most wanted” list of things I like to eat.

I love Calamari, but that is the only way I have had it. Thought it was cool at the last place I had it, some of them were complete little octopi.

On both counts, there was an older and younger sibling involved...

Ask me how I know.

On a side note, there's a SPECTACULAR, authentic Peruvian restaurant in the Galleria area of Houston...Latin Bites. Their Ceviche in leche de tigre, to include octopus and squid, is some of the best I've EVER had. I haven't been there in a while, so I don't know if that was just something seasonal or on the regular menu.

Now I'm hungry...

That’s a great photo! I love squid, octopus, lobster and all other things seafood. I am 2nd gen American though and it is what I was raised on.

My adult children have no interest in such cuisine.

Being that it is my name, I was most certainly present, and all my brothers and sisters hated me because I was an only child...

Wrong coast. There are no lobsters out west.
