Octopus is quite good, when done right.  My first experience with it
was a smoked tentacle I purchased in a park in Japan about 50 years
ago.  That was a bit chewy.

Octopus is a local specialty in Mykonos, and they know how to do it
well.  The traditional way of tenderizing it is to slam it against a
rock 100 times, but I suspect they have easier methods today.  In any
event, this dish was quite tasty, as were the caramelized onions
served with it.  A glass of Ouzo completes the experience.

A glass of Ouzo tends to help, doesn't it?


Yeah, but be careful. Ouzo is sneaky and it'll creep up on ya'.

Octopus is really nice. The first time I had it was in Greece, and I found the 
tentacle suckers rather off-putting to begin with, but after the first taste it 
no longer bothered me.

Astonishing. You ate that? Only kidding, Dan. I have never tried octopus - 
in fact I can't even remember seeing it on a menu.

I was a month in Athens in 1988 or 89—forget which year.  I ate Octopus salad 
virtually every day at a cafe near the Parliament building.  It was wonderful.
