Aggie Ring Eats Octopus
Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring decided we were going to go to a little luncheonette a few miles from us named “The Greek Spot” for lunch.
Aggie Ring likes it because the Greek food there is very reasonably priced and they serve good sized portions. You never leave there hungry.
The Aggie Ring typically gets some sort of beef/lamb/chicken order. Sometimes a gyro or gyro plate or, more often, a Greek salad with gyro or chicken meat on top.
However, during this visit, Aggie Ring noticed the sign that said they had octopus (Greek: ὀκτώπους [octopodes]). It was very reasonably priced and even came on a simple Greek salad with feta cheese and tomato. Now, Aggie Ring typically only finds octopus smoked and in oil in little cans like smoke oysters or clams. Fresh octopus always a treat.
Aggie Ring has always enjoyed eating octopus ever since he was an Army Aggie Ring stationed in Istanbul many, many years ago. He assumes that the reason anyone won’t try octopus is because they’re racist against the Mediterranean peoples and have no souls or just plain ignorant.
We watched the old Greek man grill the octopus over the fire behind the counter. It’s boiled first and the grill finishes it off. He called Aggie Ring over when our order was ready.
“Describe the octopus for my many fans.” Aggie Ring told me. Well, the smell of it was amazing and it was so tender you just almost could have cut it with a fork. There was nothing rubber like or chewy about this delicious octopod!
Aggie Ring quickly consumed his very ample order alternating between the sweet octopus and the Greek salad. He said that this was even better than scallops.
The portion was so large that Aggie Ring didn’t even have room for a Greek dessert.
As we were leaving, Aggie Ring told me, “Well, I guess we’ll be coming back here more often now.”
