Tako Poke
(From "The Choy of Cooking -- Sam Choy's Island Cuisine,"
Mutual Publishing, 1996, $35)
1 pound tako (octopus)
1 ripe medium-size tomato, chopped
1 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 Hawaiian red chile pepper, seeded and minced (or 1/2 teaspoon red chile pepper flakes)
To clean fresh octopus, turn head inside out and remove ink sac, innards and mouthparts; rinse. To tenderize fresh octopus, freeze, pound or lomi (massage).
To cook octopus, in a medium pot, bring enough water to cover octopus to a boil. Lower octopus into boiling water, return water to a rolling boil, then cook 2 or 3 minutes. Drain, plunge into cold water and slice into thin slices. In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Makes 8 servings, each 1/2 cup.
these are good too!

Let us, rather, troll the owl - the nut brown owl...
If you troll the owl - which has this funny habbit of flying - u might catch an eagle.
Has anyone eaten as eagle ?
Has anyone eaten owl, more to the point...
Owls are too smart to be eaten
I saw it on TV today. It weighs 150kg (330lbs) and is said to be about half grown. You should have seen the size of the claws and beaks (it had 2) on the thing
add some fur and you have the buuny!

I hope it don't get me!
Owl, owl, owl with rice,
Fried up for me tea!
Nothing else could be as nice -
I think I will have three!
Take a tako
Make a taco.
... and with all those yummy spices and flavorings, it could taste just like a large chicken.... [size=7]or rabbit[/size]!
ooooh, on tv, wilso? maybe there will be pix up online now - or soon!
Hmm, never had owl or eagle, think they are protected....had pigeon, quail, woodcock, wild duck, goose, duck duck goose...and lots of squid
"Row row row your boat
gently down the stream,
Merrily merrily merrily merrily,
Life and spiders' dreams"
I have no idea what that means....
From the BBC, the first pix I've run into, but the article is old, sorry if y'all have already seen this:
colossal squid
Very impressive in size...
