The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've never had cephalopod tender enough for me to enjoy it, and there just comes a point where I stop bothering to try it.
Yep.
Though it might be amusing to watch being made at the Hump. You have to figure the tentacles would be a bonus.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Snake was slightly chewy and light. Someone else eating it (deep in the Venezuelan jungle, btw, to add to the mystique) made the "tastes like chicken" comment, but I didn't necessarily think so. It did indeed have a bit of a tang to it. It was good. I liked it.
Horse just tasted like any other dark meat. In fact, we weren't really told we were eating horse. Initially we assumed it was mutton. It was a little tough and strong, but it was in a stew, so not unpleasantly so. Later on, when we realized it was horse, we thought about it and said, yeah it didn't actually taste all that much like mutton.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm tempted to get calamari linguine at the place a block away. But the portion is so huge I always end up totally stuffed....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Hump does know how to liven up any dish.
Earlier this morning the woman in the cube over was reproaching someone for being the cause of lobster death. She must have then been asked (phone convo, remarkably not on speaker) if she was vegetarian, because her next statement was "No. I only eat beef, pork, and chicken."
I wish I trusted there'd been irony in her dismay at the dead crustaceans.

List of acquired tastes
To that list I'd add cod tongues and schrunchions (basically fried fat from the back of a pig.)
No one's ever going to get me to put something that had tentacles into my mouth.
Word.
On that vein, scientists found a Dumbo octopus (and other crazy sea creatures) off the coast of Sable Island.

Mmmm, calamari. I find squid or octopus can be wonderful, if properly prepared. But yeah, can also be really rubbery. Despite my many other food squicks, I have no problems eating tentacles. Yum!
Sadly, I'm in the Seattle airport, where my lunch options are "Udon Deli" and BK. ::sigh::

I had McDs which is not helping with the antibiotic-caused stomach woes.
