Doesn't every seafood restaurant have octopus? And every Greek restaurant? If you see 'pulpo' on the menu, it's octopus. Not all that different from calamari (squid, BTW), but a little more chewy. Don't forget your dentures.

And if you ever order House Special Chow Fun in a Chinese restaurant, don't even think of asking what's in it. Last time I asked, there was some reference to "inside of fish stomach" among the ingredients, so I just don't ask anymore.

Eat and enjoy.

There are some in Texas that actually FRY turkeys.

But, I'll tell you one thing we all do: Right before the turkey is brought into the dining room for carving, we blow our whistle so any that were dunking bread in the turkey gravy can stop. :D
