Ummm, Um, Um, ....nothing says "Greece' more than that delicious smell of freshly grilled squid or octopus wafting over the seaside cafes of any Greek isle harbor. Freshly grilled with a little olive oil, add a quick squeeze of lemon and oh my oh my - what a delicious treat. Throw in the iciest, coldest bottle of Mythos beer possible and in that moment one could not conceive of any greater pleasure. If it is lunchtime in Greece - you know where to find me. I'm salivating now just thinking about it! Off to the market for a little Octopus!Catch of the Day - On the quay of Aegina Harbor, Greece (c) 2004

ReplyDeleteThat's a new one on me. I've never had squid or octopus. I'll take your word for it that it's delicious. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I love both squid AND octopus, so yummy! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteHere's my take on the theme:
Delicious
Have a great weekend!
I'm not sure I agree with you ,but you certainly sound like you love it
ReplyDeleteThat's something new I've learnt. Octopus with olive oil..will try it one day. Where I reside, we have them raw with washabi or some sauce :)It's not a Weekend;It's a Lifestyle
ReplyDeleteHmm, can't say I have ever tried Octopus!
ReplyDeleteNice pic! But I would rather not try that:) My deliciousness pics are up as well;-) Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeletehaven't tried grilled octopus before (grilled squid tastes great!)...they sound delicious! :)
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
My PhotoHunt post
I think I'd prefer squid over the octopus, though I like the octopus when it's a sushi. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteYour description sure does make this squid delicious. I love calamari. It'll be quite an experience to have it this Greek way.
ReplyDeleteGreat Photo!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sorry to say it doesn't look or sound too delicious to me!!!
that's a "must-try" recipe! :)
ReplyDeletehappy hunting!
i know calamari and that smells great but since I've yet to travel there, I'll just take your word for it!
ReplyDeletehmmmm... I'd have to put that in the "not" side. But there are so many interesting and delicious foods from Greece!
ReplyDeleteI tried octopus in South Korea. They are delicious!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo of your delicious food!I love both!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...sounds so good to me! :-)

I can't say that I would eat the squid or octopus but, your picture is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI looked down your page and found so many photos I liked that I will have to come back here again.
That poem about the fallen trees is beautiful. Did you write that or was it by Pablo Neruda like another commenter mentioned? Either way, thanks for sharing that.
Have a nice day.
Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThat was definitely Neruda. I hope it still says so at the top.
Thanks for stopping by.
May I have some pizza instead :P

Never had octopus or squid. I believe your recommendation being a good one, however - NO THANKS. LOL!
ReplyDelete"Who is this clever chap?", I said, when I read your comment on Ree's Quarter Horse post today.
