Yes pasta is the way to go, en su tinta, flavored with mace or cinnamon, throw in shrimps, and other shellfish, over fresh egg pasta….Venice in a bite!

Like GayeN, I was also about to say this might be good with pasta! :) Maybe you can mix them in a marinara sauce instead of the squid, yum! I just remembered watching on TV, they showed how to eat live baby octopus in Korea, a popular delicacy.

Repeating a story I heard from a friend in Manila that they are now shipping a lot of octopus caught in Philippine waters to thriving market in Greece, Spain, Italy – countries around the Mediterranean.

Yummy stew!

Akala ko walang herb kaya binasa ko hanggang sa huli ang post…hayun ang parsley! No good without that added green! Mukhang susugod na naman ako sa oriental market nito. Sana ay suwertihin na may octopus, kahit matandang octopus papatulan ko, hahaha!!!

okay, so the octopus DOES get tender! 45 minutes, you say? must try that. looks like it’s something i can do with squid, too. thanks, MM.
