Last night my honey and I went on a date night. We went on the aerial tramway up to the top of the Franklin Mountain State Park. It was quite a view! Then we went to a Mongolian Grill and Chinese Buffet. The Mongolian Grill was fantastic. And the buffet had almost everything you can imagine. . . including . . . "baby octopus." I was so surprised, I couldn't help putting it on my plate and taking a picture of it next to my other food. How weird.
And I am sure you are all grossed out, but I decided to be brave and try it. It was actually kind of hard to convince my mouth to open and bite tentacles off and actually chew and eat them. This is very much unlike me. The entire time Dresden was refusing to even look at me or watch me eat any of it. She was sufficiently disgusted and horrified with my choice of food!
Honestly - it wasn't bad. It reminds me of shrimp, and the sauce was spicy enough to overpower any other taste. So now I can check that off my bucket list- eat octopus!
By the way, lest you think I am truly brave and all that, I could NOT bring myself to eat the bulbous "head." I am brave, but not that brave- who knows what lies inside there.

Yuck! I am impressed that you even ordered it.
It that an attempt at "one up"- manship? You just had to out do me. It did look kind of cute on your plate. You are pretty brave, I doubt if I would have tried it.
I'm with Dresden on that one, I wouldn't be able to look at you eat it either... glad to know you left it's megamind head in tact :)
wowza! That octopus was NUTS! Way to be!
