Squid rings I can handle. Octopus - no.
We were on a cruise a few years back and I pick up something off of my plate to try to identify it. When I realized it was little octopus I nearly chucked across the dining room.
There are restaurants here that put live baby octopus in salads. If one is not careful, they will try to get away. I have seen more than one tourist order it completely freak out. It is kinda funny to watch.
