What did you expect?

I wasn't quite sure. How do they taste? I have eaten octopus/pulpo salad in Spain and it was actually pretty tasty as well as many other strange treats from around the globe. I would be lying if I said I was able to eat it all, some of these treats just would not go past my nose while others would pass the visual test. There are many tasty treats out there if we westerners can get over our biases and acknowledge that world doesn't at our borders. Eat up and take a chance you just might find something to enjoy.......Cliff

I bet they taste like calamari

Breaded and deep fried or boiled/steamed? I prefer breaded and deep fried.....Cliff

What did you expect?

For a split sec there I was mentally reviewing my knowledge of cephalopod molluscs and wondering if Octopi had such anatomical features, but then I thought about the Mahi Mahi balls I've had at Bubba Gumps a few times in CA on the pier and I figured something like that was more likely what you were getting at. Food thing, not a lesson in octopi Sex Ed. But yeah, my mind went straight to the gutter there for a sec. It's got to be all those darned naked squirrel pics around here. All those pics with little squirrel nuts just hanging proudly. They're obviously corrupted my weary little brain...

I have no idea. I'm not much of a seafood person :-) Never had "prairie oysters" either.

No guts, no glory........ Prairie/mountain oysters are actually quite tasty once get over the idea of what they are, Chicken capers are pretty good too, it just takes a whole bunch to get a mouthfull.........Cliff

I'll bet there were Octopi harmed in the making of those treats.
