Good Lord, son!

I’d be all over that except for the octopus. I have not yet gotten any of my eight arms around octopus or squid. 🐙 🦑

I HAVE tried it. It was like chewing salty rubber bands.

Not to mention; ok, I will mention: “tentacles” is not a thing that I want to see on my plate. eeewwww

Well then I will have to say (as I do with wild game) whoever cooked it is a bad cook. People tell me all the time I hate venison, rabbit squirrel, blah blah blah... but their only experience is with poorly cooked or poorly handled meat. In this case if it was chewy rubber bands it was cooked too long or not long enough. Now if the optics Of the kraken is what bothers you or you “hate seafood” then I prob couldn’t help you.Also the pre breaded frozen calamari rings u get as an appetizer at the big chains like Olive Garden are crap. Like the difference between saying I hate tuna cause u had canned tuna once and I’m fixing fresh Med rare grilled tuna loin. I can tell you we Cut these with a fork and they were as tender as a pancake With a hint of lemon. Wish I could have sent u some but I ate all their arms so they had no way to get there. 🦑🐋

Glad that you enjoyed them. 😁

I love seafood. But I don’t think that that automatically implies a blanket endorsement of everything that comes from the sea.

I’m 66, and I’m still working on expanding my culinary horizons. So it could still happen. My youngest took on calamari when she was four, while the other two balked at anything beyond Tyson chicken tenders.

And Olive Garden, omg. Gimme a break.
