Taverna Nikos Blogging: Octopus and Cake
I recently went to Taverna Nikos and tried octopus for the first time. A whole tentacle was marinated in a vinaigrette and served with a side salad. It was surprisingly good and very tender. I enjoyed the octopus quite a bit and will definitely order it again. I'd probably had itty bits of octopus in sushi rolls before, but that's just not the same.
Chef Giorgios's mom made a wonderful cake for me, too!
Looking at your plate, did you feel like you were at the Mos Eisley Cantina?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen octopus served that way. Pretty cool.
I've loved octopus in many things, but not everyone feels that way.

George: Octopus/squid. Same thing.
Buddy: No. Not true. Squid is like eating fried rubber bands. Octopus is like eating boiled tires.
