Default Octopus Anyone...

The flies, the heat, but it tastes lovely cooked...

I liked the light at the time.

Wow. Looks completely disgusting, but your focus is sharp! I've never eaten any octopus, but I can't say that I wouldn't give it a try.

My guess would be that it's being dried out ... sort of an octopus jerky so to speak?

I've never had it dried, but when I was a teenagr I'd stopped in a Greek place in the New Orleans area and had some wine-marinated octopus there. It's quite tasty.

Wow that is a unique photo. Great sharp focus. I'm definitely not keen enough to try it but I do like the photo.

Octopus is good we have it here fairly often, but I don't think I want this after hanging in the sun. Good capture edible or not.
