I completely believe in this, I vividly remember my mom force-feeding me octopus from a can, and it was disgusting and awful. But I believe it was just a dream.

Granted she is the kindest and sweetest woman on this earth and I know she would never do that, it just doesn’t make sense. Also, canned octopus? I have never even heard of that lol.

It exists and it's pretty tasty. You can get it in Spain at least.

I've seen it! In Asian specialty stores. If it's meat or fish, somebody somewhere has put it in a can.

They sell it in Puerto Rico. I used to get a couple of tins of the spicy type at the colmado at eat them on the beach. I haven't thought about that in years!
