Fried, grilled or chopped up in a salad you're going to love our , delicious chewy purple friend, Il Pulpo. Biologists speculate that this creature- which has no exoskeleton- is EXTREMELY intelligent. Some scientists report Octopi watching the researchers and picking up gestures and sign language. A psychic octopus named Paul found itself the center of a paparrazi feeding frenzy when it displayed the ability to pick World Cup match winners in 2010. Paul passed away in October 2010- may he rest in peace- he never made it into my mouth, or onto my plate o insalate di mare. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11626050
Shout out to Il Pulpo! We were very sad to hear of Paul's passage. Some of your west coast readers may recall that I had the unforgettable experience of eating one live! (The trick is to chew thoroughly -- otherwise the tentacles grab onto your throat on the way down.)
