    Best seafood I ever had was baby octopus lightly fried in garlic butter with fresh green peppercorns on the outskirts of Valemcia. Melt in the mouth lovliness.

    Seen squid, but not (fresh) octopus at penistone Tesco. We export 90% of the squid and octopus we catch to Spain ironically.

    Only ever had tapas there once. Decent but overpriced, not been since. I ordered one called "Red Pepper Salad" - can't remember the exact price but it was about £3.

    Now, a dish described as a salad usually contains a main ingredient, accompanied by a mixture of lettuce, cucumber, onions, tomatoes or some similar combination. For example, chicken salad, tuna salad etc. My red pepper salad was a dish with 2 thin strips of red pepper in it. That was it. We complained but they weren't having it. Not been back since. It's one of those places where people are happy to pay over the odds so they can claim they've been there, in my opinion.

    I don't think price wise its roo bad to be honest

    For example there is a place on kirkstall road in leeds that does tapas that has a really good reputation and its horrible and twice the price of the royal

    Can you get a degree for dancing? I've got one for origami and another for flower arranging, so I suppose it's possible.

    Yep, Tintenfisch is squid in Germany. Octopus is "Pulpo" in Spanish, which I think describes it perfectly!
