Appetising Dlsht There are some people in Wanganui who eat with relish the flesh of the octopus, according to the statement of a Christchurch resident who has eaten octopus flesh and describes its flesh as delicate and more than palatable. One of the most enjoyable meals be has had was on a trawler off Timaru. Greek fishermen in charge of rhe vessel, although they had a wide range of food-fishes, caught octopus for the table. Thev cut off the tentacles, about two feet long, boiled them for about half an hour, pulleu off the skin, hammered the white flesh into a pulp and served it up. The visitor needed some pressing before he was induced to taste the dish, but having done so he found that it was delicious, and he asked for more. He states that Greek fishermen at Timaru esteem octopus so liiuhlv that they send consignments to their fellow-countrymen in Wanganui. Only the tentacles are eaten.
