But the pertinent question is - Do (did) they taste better than octopus?
41 years ago I ate octopus for the first (and last) time at a Greek restaurant
on South Street in Philadelphia.
They were Very bad.
Multiple people have told me that: 'They must have been cooked incorrectly.'.
I counter with: 'The mistake was cooking and serving them AT ALL.'.
You stated snails were like: 'garlicky rubber'.
Octopus gave the impression of pencil erasers.
I have no desire to research this matter any further...
I agree wholeheartedly! I didn’t try snails...I watched as a friend ate them, and all I could see was rubber. I thought I heard it squeak in her teeth. Much like a pencil eraser.
I draw the line at octopus, squid, snail, and sushi. I’m a carnivore and prefer my meat red or at the least white, like pork or chicken and turkey.
Although I spent the first five years of my life on an island, I’m NOT a seafood fan. Period.
