Status: offline 		i'm confused, it's just octopus, people round here (sydney australia) eat them all the time, nothing particularly exotic or anything. Personally the only issue i could see would be the intelligence of an octopus, which I would think outstrips a house cat (i say as mine jumps into a window chasing a fly). It has even been proven that they can communicant with their chromatophores and pass on learning.

i'd rather eat fried squid than fried octopus, there's just something about the way they look that is creepy and scarry at the same time.

LOL...I've noticed that this is the comment made about many other foods as well. I still can't help thinking..it it taste like chicken, wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy chicken? Maybe I'm just looking at it too logically.

Status: offline 		I've eaten baby octopi on sushi, but the best experience was in S. Korea.  Someone in our group pointed out a live octopus in a tub of water.  The lady with the tub yanked it out, cut it into pieces,  and put it on a plate with hot sauce.  The pieces were squirming off the plate.  There is nothing like putting a piece of tentacle in your mouth and having it stick to your lip.

Its about the tenth I think, without counting. But this one was meant to be a humorous one related to the thread about organ transplants for cash in China.

I'm not picking on China unfairly anyway. After all, I pick on just about everyone. Its one of those things with having a boring life thats hardly worth the living - it passes the time and sometimes results in human contact.

I'll have to keep this short, there's some picking on to be done elsewhere. Brits are the best to pick on, they take it so personally.
