I cooked octopus once after my husband proudly brought it home from the fish market. I don’t think I will again. It was like dealing with a a slippery alien that I had to decapitate, and that was no pleasant task. Then, I had to pop this awful little beak out. Then I had to dunk it in boiling water in which I placed wine corks, added wine to, and said chants over. It cooked for ages, then I grilled it.
It ended up tasting delicious though.

I looked on-line and there were a hundred tips on cooking an octopus, and a little voodoo thrown in for good measure it seems!

There certainly are, Dorothy but I think I’ll stick with squid a more manageable size 🙂 x

You have quite a smorgasbord of topics here, including offal, which you say is very nutritious. I eat oats every morning, either steel-cut oats or Cheerios.

I know offal isn’t everyone’s taste, Marian I was raised on all meats and offal apart from veal I will never eat…Yes offal is nutritious and good for you but it seems to not be as popular as it once was 🙂
