Good eating is pulpo (octopus) just twat it against a surface, slice it up, fry it and serve with lemon ;)

Rabbit Pie ! And, for the purists, made with shortcrust pastry, NOT puff pastry ! ? ! Cheers.

Family get together at ours, so a bit of a spread.. 13 hour cooked brisket, slow cooked pork shoulder.. Home made coleslaw, stuffing, roasties... and a 2 day hangover! Lol

Treat off my dad tonight, he's a friend on the fresh fish stall up town... Scallops and lemon sole fillets...

Try making the chilli , with baked beans and the sauce…. Instead of ghastly kidney beans …. Game changer ( trust me I’m a self appointed gynaecologist)

How many times does one recommend “twatting it” ? Does it act like tenderising a steak ? … does anyone do that anymore

Yep and many times lol. If you go to the older established small family type restaurants here. You'll hear many bangs from the kitchen when you order the octopus. They kick the fuuck out of it :laugh:

After Twatting it how do they cook them fast or slow?

It is just the tentacles they eat yes?

I fancy having a go a one if I can get my hand on one. Most are going to EU and fetching good money.

It's only done with the tentacles normally. Some will beat the shit out of the whole thing though. Depends on the person cooking but normally high heat and very fast. It goes rubbery if you do it too long or too low. I've cooked it on the beach on my little BBQ and I always get it as hot as possible before putting it on. Be careful with the tips, they burn/ruin easy. The thicker pieces is what you fry up first then add the tips in the middle of cooking time ;)
