    Hey, Miacat, what's wrong with tentacles....a few years ago, they used to eat animal brains! *shudders*

    I'll take the tentacles any day of the week.

    My granny used to spread calves brains on toast!

    Back to tentacles, God only knows where they came from, have just noticed them lurking at the back of the cupboard, My ex lodger was a Malaysian Doctor, and he used to eat some funky looking food, so it may be his.

    Seafood Risotto it is. Ta spugzbunny

    Oh lordy!

    If I knew how to put up a pic of colour draining out of my face too, then I would.

    Seafood paella and risotto are lovely, but I just cant picture is with the octopus thing. Let us know how it tastes. Id be interested to know. xx

  • I initially misread tentacles as well you can imagine what and thought to myself that surely it would take a lot of male octopus bits to fill a tin!

    I would give to the cat and consider you have had a lucky escape!
  • Although my suggestion isn't moneysaving, I'd have to say throw it out! bleurghhh

    You could put them in the bath the next time you take one and then you can pretend you are Jack Sparrow. You might need a plastic sword to make the scene more realistic though...
