Wordless Wednesday – Side of Octopus With My Salad with LINKY

After spending a few nights at The Raleigh Hotel in fabulous South Beach in Miami, Florida, I just had to try the Octopus Salad. $10 at lunch and $16 at dinner.

So would you try it?

    Yikes! Being a vegetarian, I’d say no, I probably wouldn’t try it. But I’ll bet it is better than it looks!

    *Shivers* Oh, you are so much braver than I am! There is absolutely no way I could ever eat something like that. I admire anyone who is willing to try it, though. And the photo itself is really gorgeous. That octopus truly just leaped out at me. Which added to the shivers. LOL

      It really was good. I was a little freaked out at first when they put it down in front of me but it tasted great.

    This definitely wouldn’t be my 1st choice but if I can eat calamari, I should be able to eat this too (right?).

    Looks frighting, yet beautiful. I’m a vegetarian, so I wouldn’t eat it, but I remember how tasty octopus could be : )

    ellen says:

    It is sort of pretty in a freaky artist way. Would I try it? Probably not. I tried that calimarie (sure that spelled wrong) and the octopus seemed way to chewy. Was it tender at all?

    Eileen says:

    I am the WRONG person to ask that. LOL! Our kids are always wanting to try new things but I grew up a meat and potatoes girl. I like trying some new things…very….very…slowly. baby steps. it took me til early 20s to try broccoli! That thing looks way too science fictiony to me! (Im a weenie and would probably stare or faint if something like this was placed in front of me!)

    First of all, that is an absolutely gorgeous photo. Loving the colors and composition. Brave of you to try, yes!

    When I was visiting Greece, we had octopodi (octopus) and ouzo. It was quite common there and actually very good! I went out with a Greek friend in his boat to see how they catch octopus at night. They either bang them on the rocks or turn them inside out. Very disturbing!

    No way…never gonna happen. :-) I am not a seafood person in the first place but there is just no way, lol. It does make a pretty picture though. :-D
