    I hope this thread gets featured

    "What to do with a can of octopus tenticles in the OS Forum!"

    After all, it's the most intriguing post I've seen in ages...

    I have actually been subjected to these in the past by my sister. I found them tasteless and chewy. Yuk.

    I also have a tin in the cupboard, but even better, mine is called "musky octopus"!!!!

    OH bought them in Lidls and I was not sure what to do with them but I think I will try the seafood risotto idea

    Same here!!! Kept reading along thinking "don't these people realise how delicious tentacles/brains are?!"
    Anyway, *I* would grab a fork and eat them straight from the tin! YUM! My mum would have put them in a paella. Rarely, as tentacles are rare in my country, very hard to find (and expensive when you do!)
    Brains on the other hand are very cheap where I come from and my mum uses them in caneloni filling (spinach and ricotta) in place of the ricotta which is often not cheap....
