    Really? You chose to eat that?

    It looks like something Jeff Probst would put in front of the survivors in competition.

    You are a brave, brave man.

    Why are people so grossed out about octopus? If it's prepared right, it can be quite tasty.

    Everything about that salad looks wonderful except for the octopus. What on earth possessed you to order that?

    Dear Jorge Garcia,

    Octopi are awesome, especially when deep fried. You know what else is awesome? You and Beth's jack-o-lanterns from last year. Any chance you would be willing to post a Pumpkin Carving Tutorial this year? You know, in all your spare time? I like to plan ahead.

    Ps-my dog has a crush on your dog.

    Jorge,

    Is that not a calamari salad? I realize calamari is a 'squid;'

    My 15 year old daughter loves octopus. But would gag over the salad. Go figure.

    Ah, tako (Octopus in Japanese)! I learned to love it while there, and thought the best way --though not the healthiest way--was quickly deep fried in tempura batter. MMMM!!! My daughters also love it this way. Can't find it like that here in NC. Enjoy!

    I had octopus & calamari in 7th grade. One of the little sucker things got stuck in my teeth. Never forgot the chewiness. That's actually one of the things I miss from the pre-vegetarian days.

    I had arroz negro in Spain. I didn't find out until later that it is colored with squid ink. Hmm...it did have small squids in it, but I've never eaten octopus.
