It's a different proposition when the octopus weighs a couple of kilos! My son aged about 8 brought a live one home one morning and waved it my face - I was still in bed! his main comment was, you have to stab it between the eyes! Some knowledgeable locals tenderise it by beating it against the rocks for ten minutes. Then it is almost possible to chew!

Octopus is a regular item around the Mediterranean countries: in Greece it is often dry roasted / bbq'd and served as a snack with a drink. Delicious.
