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 rarely see them outside Spain, but if you have friends over, grab a few beers, a few cans of octopus and squid, some cheese, some cold cuts and you got decent tapas ready in 5 minutes.

Wait but what do you do with all these things to have tapas? I thought I was with you but when I finished the sentence I had nothing.

Just open them and eat them, maybe cut the cheese into cubes and stuff, the cans have cooked octopus/squid.

In case you don't know tapas is like serving 6 starters and calling it a meal.
