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?

That looks delicious!
Heather´s last [type] ..A ladies’ weekend that includes the spa Count me in
It was!
Very interesting salad. I want to come back to your blog to see how it tasted, on Thursday of course…
It was pretty good. Definitely different!!
OMG that looks so delicious! I would eat that in a heartbeat, but I’m weird like that.
Lisa from Life with Lisa´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday Back In Time with LINKY
You just gotta make him sing the them to Chorus Line like we did. Oh and do the kickline!!
now I’m truly jealous.
Lisa from Life with Lisa´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday Back In Time with LINKY
I would have to say maybe. I love calamari, so I would prob give it a try. Sure looks pretty with the lovely colors.
What was your verdict? Did you like it?
Karen Hartzell´s last [type] ..Mommy and Me Monday
I liked it. It was different but good!!
I had octopus once, at a Greek restaurant. I thought it was funny how the little suction cups kept sticking to the inside of my cheek. It wasn’t bad.
Virginia from That Bald Chick´s last [type] ..Sausage and Cheese Quiche
I don’t know… maybe if I didn’t pay for it, lol. It sure is pretty to look at though!
Jacqueline @Blessings Abound Mommy´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday- Aunties Are So Much Fun!
I know! Isn’t it beautiful? Every time we walked through the pool area, I couldn’t stop staring at this salad.
NO WAY!!!!
Yeah I know. This is definitely freaking some people out!
No way! I am a southern meat & potatoes kind of girl. That thing freaks me out!
BalancingMama (Julie)´s last [type] ..Nathazu
Yeah I can completely understand. I cannot wait for my dad to see this!!! He is the exact same way.
I would probably be ok trying the “legs” but I don’t think I could eat the whole thing. You are braver than I. LOL
Elizabeth´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday – Lego House
I only made it to the legs. I couldn’t really try the rest.
NO WAY! Haha, Yuck!
Shop with Me Mama´s last [type] ..Mars Needs Moms- Blasts Into Theaters March 11th & A Giveaway!
UH, no thank you! My husband would love it!
My husband loves to try stuff like this too!
lIt’s actually scary to look at!
Louise´s last [type] ..Washing The Car in 40 Degree Weather Wordless Wednesday
That is funny. I think that it looks kind of surreal but not scary at all.
Absolutely not *GAG*
But it made for a pretty colorful picture!
It was wonderful!
NOPE! I have eaten octopus made in several different ways, but not in a way that looks like THAT.
YIKES!!
Lorie Shewbridge´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday- Spring has Sprung in Celebration
I have had octopus before too but never quite like this!
I don’t think I would have!! I KNOW I wouldn’t have!
It did take me a day to work up to even trying the salad!
Ewwwww!!!! NOOOOO way!!! I don’t even like seafood.
Its creepy looking!
Ha Ha! I think that the colors are beautiful!
Aww, sad
Don’t be sad. I am proud to be at the top of the food chain.
There’s no way, not even if I was starving…just looks too creepy.
Kristy@MyPetSavings.com´s last [type] ..Wesco Pet Kabob Shreddable Parrot toy-41 off Free Shipping!
It is so funny how widely the opinions vary. Some people think that it is beautiful and others find it creepy.
It’s definitely beautiful! I don’t know how I’d feel about that much octopus. I’ve only ever had it in small chunks.
Kelly´s last [type] ..Giveaway Challenge – Day 29
I did not eat the entire thing. Just some of the legs.
There was way too much!
Octopus Salad..haven’t tasted that before. How was it? Yummy?
It was wonderful! Very tender.
You are a braver woman than I. Actually, I just may try it…
Give it a shot! It was fun to try something new and expand my horizons!!
Absolutely I would try it! I linked up and am a new follower. I also have a linky today for Wordless Wednesday for my 3 year old Miss E enjoying Chocolate Molten Cake.

Katie @Pinke Post´s last [type] ..Every Married Couple Needs
Thanks Katie! I linked up.
I like eating calamari so I might like octopus. But, not sure could do it.
You would probably like it then. It tasted very similar to calamari to me.
Looks yummy.
Cafe au lait´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday – Coffee n Cream
It definitely was!
I would definitely try it
Happy WW!
stevebethere from bethere2day´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday Weight Lifting
It was fun to try something like this!
I don’t do sea food. but I’d eat that lettuce and such under it
Tricia @Nightowlmama´s last [type] ..Flash Back to the 50′s with Nifty Fifties Costume from Costume Superstore
The salad part was really good too!
I would but I don’t know about my human.
Sparkle´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday- Up Close and Personal
Yeah you would probably devour it, wouldn’t you?
I would try it! We had canned octopus before so I know what it tastes like lol… although I’m not sure I would pass up a good “other” salad lol
PippaD @ A Mothers Ramblings´s last [type] ..Things to do with Bubble Wrap – Dancing on Bubble Wrap!
Now that I have tried it, I would probably try another type of salad next time!
WOW I’d have to say a big NO WAY, personally I dont like the looks of it or the textures of that kind of seafood, I think it should of stayed in the water and not be put on a plate, sorry I just freak out at stuff like that, I do know people eat some strange things in this world after having been to China, it is an eye opener thats for sure, and I know my husband would eat it and not think twice about it, as long as he doesnt start requesting that I make it at home, LOL, Glad to hear you liked it, I guess its always a good thing to be adventurous and try new things, but for me, I like usual meat & potatoes, (regular meat that is, beef, chicken, pork) no weird stuff for me-
thanks for the picture
Yeah I have seen some seriously strange stuff from China. This was tame comparatively speaking!
Oh Lord. I’m in the no way crowd. If someone set that in front of me, I’d jump.
At least they sliced the head off…(or was that consumed before the picture?)
I swear, girl, I have seen fish wash up to shore that looked more appealing than that.
It looks like they caught it afire. Octo-Crisp!
Nah I don’t think I could eat the head. At least not without singing that fish heads song from the 80′s!
I would run far away!
But it’s many legs will probably chase you!
Not a chance.
You are braver than I am. I will admit that it’s a pretty salad….
Lolli @ Better in Bulk´s last [type] ..Winning the Pinewood Derby
It is pretty. That is why I ordered it. I also kind of wanted to try it but I was afraid I would chicken out. I didn’t though!
Oh hell to the yeah I’d eat that…………it looks yummy!
Thanks for joining our hop on Mommys Online Garage Sale, hope to see you again next week.
I am your newest GFC and FB Follower!
Have a great day.
Thanks Jen! Glad to see you here!
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
Probably. A little. But shhhhhhh…don’t tell anyone!
I would totally try it, and probably like it. Heck, I think my 3 year old would try it
Aleksandra´s last [type] ..WordlessWednesday – Lily and Marlow the Cat
I think that my 7 year old son would probably try it. He likes calamari and they taste similar.
Oh my word! You ate that? EEKS! I couldn’t do it!
I did eat it! I loved it!!
Oh, my gosh, Stacie! I am all for trying exotic foods, but I don’t know that I could do THAT! Did you cut it with a knife? I’m scared!
Real Life Sarah´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday- Bride of FrankenStylist
I did cut it with a knife. It is a little tough but tastes like calamari!
I grew up eating squid (calamari) but I’ve never had octopus and I don’t think I’ll try it.
Rachel Ferrucci´s last [type] ..Grandmothers Love for her Grandchildren
I am thinking at Blogher that I will have to get the eight legs of some octopus wrapped around you!
Hmmm…I’m not so sure I would be as adventurous!
Dee´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday – Busy Bee
Yeah I know. I wouldn’t have tried anything like this 10 years ago. Now I find it kind of fun!!
OMG absolutely not! I don’t eat any seafood and that is the stuff of nightmares for me!
Tenille´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday Bloomin’ Belly
I know. I didn’t eat seafood for the longest time. Now I love it!
Can’t say it would be my first choice, but I would try it!
Abby Approved´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday-Three Legged Race
Yeah I really just had to try it because it looked so interesting!!
ew ew ew i’m so not that adventurous.
Lisa´s last [type] ..Monday Mingle- 2-21-11
Awwww you could have joined in the chorus line with me then instead of eating it!
I’m sure I would. I’ve eaten it many ways, including sushi and it was yummy! Guess I’m just an adventurous eater. My readers went a bit nuts at a similar post last year: http://www.babylovingmama.com/2010/07/wordless-wednesday-my-30th-birthday.html
Guess everyone just isn’t as “open” as we are!
Emilie @ Baby Loving Mama´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday – Walking the Dog
Yeah I know! I am really surprised at how strongly some people feel about my eating choices!!!
Absolutely NOT!
But my mom would love it.

Not sure that I could get my mom to try it.
You would have to put a gun to my head before I tasted that. EWW
Carolyn G´s last [type] ..Mostly Wordless Wednesday My Office Artwork
Really? I thought that you would have liked this!!!
OMG no, no way could I try that. It scaring me.

Awww sorry. I shoulda put a ninja mask on him or something.
He is scaring lots of people!!
Sure! It looks great and I’ve had octopus before so no surprises really.
Deborah´s last [type] ..Lessons Grandpa Taught Me
Thanks for stopping by!!
You are much braver than I! While it’s beautiful to look at, I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to eat it, no matter how adventurous I was feeling!
WW: Paleontologist Heaven at Paleopalooza
I really ordered it at first just to take a picture and then I just had to try it!
Oh my, it does LOOK gorgeous, I’m not sure I could it that octopus looking like that though, maybe if it wasn’t so alive looking
(I’m sorry I accidentally put in my giveaway linky url instead of my WW post url in your linky, please delete it! thanks!)
Henrietta´s last [type] ..Wordless Wednesday – unfinished project
I know. I just love the picture. It looks amazing and so foreign to me!
7 months ago I would have in a heart beat! Now I don’t eat anything from the sea that doesn’t have scales and fins LOL
