What to do with tinned Octopus tentacles

gaz_jones

I love squid/octopus!!

I would fry them and either put a bit of lemon juice on them and eat away. Or fry them and mix them with something like a pasta.

I'd recommend just eating them on their own though. Much nicer that way

I would if it was fresh, but wasn't so convinced with tinned.

The reactions to this thread have made me laugh, and wondered what is the most obscure tinned foodstuff is out there?

Will check out the Eastern European Mini market and the Chinese supermarket on Friday. They must have some funky tinned food.

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

Sew them on to a red and blue jump suit and go climb up buildings.

Am I the only one who's worried that if I ate these, the suckery bits would stick to my tongue and then I wouldn't be able to get them off? (I know they wouldn't but there's this little voice telling me that they will ...) It's the one thing that's put me off ever trying anything like octopus.

There was an episode of CSI once where the 'murderer' had fed someone an octopus delicacy and they suffocated. Said delicacy was a live octopus wrapped around a chop stick in just a way that it could not free itself when you swallowed it... whole...and live! Unfortunately this particualr octopus had been wrapped incorrectly and promptly unravelled itself inside the victims throat causing her to suffocate!

Ahh this thread is making me laugh in so many ways!! :beer:

I was watching a BBC documentary where the presenter tried this.... where was it? Thailand? somewhere like that. He said it actually tasted quite nice, but it was too uncomfortable to swallow because he wasn't used to it. :eek:

Edit: They don't stick to your mouth because they're not alive
