A Fancy Greek bistro

[Charles Albert]

recently opened in my now rapidly gentrifying backwater. They declare that
their octopus is like buttah. On my only visit it was, as it had been for
several weeks, on back order from Portugal (stateside product apparently
being unfit for consumption.) I'm very curious, but that Google algorithm
is preying in my ambivalent carnivory.


If my kid could do this, I  would have kept her..


*At the Sea Star Aquarium in Coburg, Germany in 2008, staff were puzzled
when the electrical system shorted out two mornings in a row. The third
night, when they took turns sleeping on the floor, they found the culprit:
Otto, a six-month-old octopus. “He had crawled out of his tank and, using
his siphon like a fire hose, aimed it at the overhead light. Apparently, it
annoyed him or maybe he was just bored. As director Elfriede Kummer told
<https://bit.ly/3PFXSMn> The Telegraph, ‘Otto is constantly craving for
attention and always comes up with new stunts… Once we saw him juggling
hermit crabs in his tank.’”*
