octopussy

i've never seen a real life octopus. nor a whole, dead one (those baby fried-and-crunchy ones don't count). not even at the fresh seafood stalls at the markets. i like to know how the animals i'm eating look like when they're alive. chicken (and all other fowl), cows, pigs, seafood, etc.

oh. we were on the subject of roadkill just the other day, and a friend was saying how his friends ran over a kangaroo once, promptly got off their 4WD, carried the carcass into the vehicle and brought it home where they skinned and consumed it! weird how a "national" animal becomes a meal on the table. wonder if anybody eats wombats or koalas...

at prime poseur paradise, chapel street today. this place has EXCELLENT food, especially octopus in lemon oil! could've just died and gone to heaven and came back for just for the next bite!
