Some protestants also take fish on fridays.

That may be, but I know that in the past there were also lots of
Protestants who would not eat fish on Fridays because they viewed it as
a Catholic thing.

Same here. I wouldn't kill an octapus or even squid now.
I've never eaten either but I did use to use squid for bait when
fishing. No longer though since I've learned about them.

Octopi have been shown to be very intelligent creatures. I saw a show
on PBS about them (NOVA?) a couple of years ago. Fascinating!

<shrug> I eat fish whenever I feel like eating fish. Many years ago I
picked up a bunch of sausage biscuits to take to the people in my
department. (They were made from scratch at a small market down the
street from where I lived; they had a full kitchen setup and baked
biscuits from scratch, served eggs, bacon, sausage. At lunchtime they
did fried chicken and potato logs.) This was on a Friday. The manager
of the department at the time said, "Oh, I'm not supposed to eat meat on
Friday." She ate one anyway. I guess she was hungry.

My current boss is Jewish. He often has a pork chop for lunch. So much
for religious dietary restrictions. <shrug>

I'll have to look and see if there is any Chilean Sea Bass available at
the seafood counter the next time I'm at Publix Supermarket. I really
like mild tasting white fish.

Details matter. Many Reform Jews feel that how they treat other people
is more important than what they eat, and do not keep Kosher.

No, no. The plural is octopuses or octopodes.

I like fried calamari with lemon.

My mother-in-law offered me some hellish soup once. I think she was testing me. It was a miso based soup that was fiery red with Korean pepper. There was tiny whole fish in there drifting around in the bowl current. There were also a bunch of tiny octopus tumbling around on the current too. These were some scary critters because they were all stiff and in a fighting pose - probably because they were dumped in boiling water while alive. It was horrible and I think I didn't pass the test. I would have may tests along the way.
As far as cuttlefish goes, they are a popular snack on this rock.

How does your MIL achieve a current in a bowl of soup?

Awhile ago, I went to an asian themed restaurant (I don't actually know which country it truly was), but we all sat around and watched the chef cook for us ... right at the table. One person's lobster was actually still slightly moving when it was put on a lady's plate, ha ha haaa !!

You'd have convection currents. Hot soup does that. When I was a kid, I used to watch intently the currents in my miso soup. It's a most amazing sight.. I was also stirring the soup around to see what I was getting into.

At that point the chef should have pulled out a big hammer and whacked that lobster. Well, if the chef was John Cleese, that's what he'd do. Your group would exclaim "that lobster is alive!" Of course, he'd say "no he's not." Big laughs all around.

A lot of Koreans think that eating live food is a pretty good idea, so that's a thing now.

A lot of Asians, blacks, and native peoples believe that white folks are ruthless people - and barbarians. I guess it all depends on a person's skin color. What's your point?

As it goes, I'm not too concerned with Koreans eating live octopus. There's a lot of critters that live in the sea. A lot of them are eaten by other critters every single second of the Earth's existence. It's the history of life on this planet - you eat and then you get eaten. The practice of killing your prey and cooking them up before eating them is "practically unheard of" in the animal kingdom - so what's your point?

A lot of those Asians, blacks and natives also think that only white
people are racist.

There are degrees to that. There are a lot of strange diets around.
Vegans are bad enough, but then there are the Jains and their strange
beliefs. Not only do they eschew meat and dairy, they won't eat root
vegetables because the roots are ripped up and the plant dies, plus the
possibility of killing insects and micro organisms in the soil. Fresh
green vegetables are taboo because they have in infinite number of
living organisms on them bit dried legumes are okay because the number
of organisms on them is finite.

Back in the 70's, it was soy beans that was going to feed the world. 50 years later, algae is where it's at man!

Dutch are much more civilised, and only sniff asses.
They know that more flatus will be produced later if they tend to
their dinner.

And then there are the Dave Smiths. They're not allowed to eat
anything until they've first bitched about everybody they've met that
day.

Well, that's just bullshit. The number of living organisms on fresh green
vegetables is finite. The process of drying legumes kills gazillions of
organisms that were on the fresh plants.

Ah, well. If religion were logical and consistent, it wouldn't be religion.

Why are people arguing about the plural of octapus anyway?
I said "I wouldn't kill an octapus"
I was talking singular...one octopus...but I did spell it wrong.

A lobster that's still twitching on the plate might not be still alive
but it would be very undercooked....almost raw.

I kill and clean blue crabs right before I cook them.
They are very dead but once I sprinkle some Old Bay Seasoning on them
the legs muscles will start twitching.

Once cooked though, no movement.

It's religion. It doesn't need to be true. You just have to have faith,
then it is true.

Nobody gives a shit about your pointless pathetic "obsessions."
Nobody gives a shit about your life.

NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOU. SHUT THE **** UP AND LEAVE!
