Octopi

And, so, back in '86, walking through Porto Venare in Italy, with the
advise a
'new best' friend' to visit a restaurant "his best friend" owned, we
sat down to
  eat and ALL they served was canelli bean soup, an odd salad of local
weeds and raw octopus. RAW octopus! Whoa. But lemme tellya, and you all
know Italian food, it was superbly unbelievably delicious to the n'th
morsel.

If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of
spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man.
