How do you cook your Octopus?

I like very much "Octopus". I eat it in salad or i make a tomato sauce for
seasoning spaghetti. Today I've found in supermarket a fresh one.
Tomorrow I will eat Spaghetti with Octopus sauce.

I bet you eat the testicles.

Even after all these years it is still funny! Thanks for the day brightener.

Now about octopus, I think it is immoral to kill a sentient being. Octopi
are intellegent, self-aware, and have language.

Is it the same with squid? Because I think that's what the OP really means.

and lot of parseley)

who will make Radicchio pasta another time): fish can't wait!

I like it lightly sauteed in butter, then added to a white sauce served
over pasta or rice.

It's also excellent raw, all by itself with a bit of soy sauce and
wasabi. ;-) Sashimi style......

My favorite version of octopus is to poach small pieces a short time in
broth, then drain. Mix with some chopped onion, and garlic of course,
some capers, parsley, good olive oil, and some lemon juice. This is for
an appetizer. I like to use calamari for pasta sauce and ciuppin. How
do you keep octopus from getting too chewy, Pandora?

I thought maybe "cook your octopus" was a new sexual euphemism that I
hadn't heard before. (Is there anything that can't be used as a sexual
euphemism?)

Disappointedly,

I've never made like this. I copy the recipe!

I like calamari filled with calamari (Gnam Gnam) and baked with some white
wine; or fried.

I've never had this problem. If I have to make a salad, I cut Octopus in
pieces, then I boil it and I let it cool in the same water. You must put
salt at the end (about 15 minutes before it's ready) because salt make the
mollusk hard when boiled. When cool I take away the skin and I season it
with lemon, oil , pepper , parsley and garlic.
If I have to make a tomato sauce, I generally use pressure cooking (you save
time and Octopus come out very tender in only 20 minutes): I put pieces of
octopus in the pan, with oil and garlic; mix for 2 minutes then evaporate
with white wine. Then I put some fresh tomato sauce, salt and pepper; I
close the pan and wait about 20 minutes for a big Octopus.

I have a whole octopus in my freezer right now. After reading about how
you need to clean it, I think it's going to stay in my freezer. I like the
taste of octopus, but have never prepared it myself. I now know why. What
a messy job!

Anyone need some fish bait?

Both are commonly eaten in Italy. As are cuttlefish.

We generally eat squids with green peas and tomato sauce. very good!
But you can eat them also grilled and then seasoned with he so called
"Salmoriglio" (Oil, lemon, salt, Oregano, garlic and black pepper).

I clean the squid. Then I chop the tentacles and mix them with rice,
chopped shrimp and a light tomato sauce. I stuff the empty body with hte
mixture and simmer it in more of the tomato sauce.

Also fill with sausage (shrimp and fish) and grill.

Also eat raw. Cook the tentacles and serve with vinegar and oil.

It is said that Eskimos have over 100 words for snow. In the US, there
are over 1,000,000,000 euphemisms for sex. Absolutely anything anyone
ever says can be used as a euphemism for sex.

As long as you don't show it on TV.

In marinara on very low heat on top of the stove. You can also bake them
in a hot oven on a baking pan and put the sauce on top after it's finished.
