Yeah, generally octopus sushi in Western countries is of the cooked variety. In Japan they have that AND the good raw stuff.

It was hilarious making my mother try it when she visited me a couple of years back. I'd say it's an acquired taste.

It's not that bad - I've tried a few. They are either cruchy or slimy - but taste wise you can barely taste most of them. It's just the initial disgust at the thought of eating that rather than the taste that stops you.

**** this Paul ****. He should make himself useful and do my tax for me.

He wasn't able to predict draws was he? Makes it even more awesome.

Who the **** decided to call him Paul anyway? Diabolical.

They should have called him something interesting, like Octavius VII (there need not have been Octavius I through VI).

? Nah. I love trying new things tbh. It doesn't mean I like everything, but no point in living if you don't try stuff.

How people even think about eating snakes after watching National Geographic is beyond me.

It looks fun. Just watched an episode of Bizarre foods, and I can't wait to go and try this.

So anyway, dreams about gaining psychic powers after eating magic calimari aside, how did he actually do it?

_Ed_ · 15-07-2010, 07:56 PM

A match-fixing scandal unlike anything the world has ever seen before. The players on the teams the octopus predicted would lose were paid huge sums of money to throw the games.

Or a fluke.
