You can still have a BBQ at night anyway.

Nah mate, not the same. If I start grogging on mid-arvo then try to cook the bbq before the game I'll end up in hospital.
Was better with a 3 pm kick off - could go the fish markets, pick up what I needed, come home, cook it, get blind then wake up the next day and find out who won the game.
Speaking of lunch, when are you in town, ****?

I've never had raw octopus actually, but I'd be interested in trying it. That and snake's blood are two things I really want to try soon.
I know people eat live animals, but I draw the line at that - not because I'm disgusted by it, but I just don't see the cruelty as necessary. Just kill it quickly first, and then eat it raw if you like that taste. I mean I'd eat bugs and worms live, but not fish, octopus or anything bigger. Perhaps a bit odd, but fish are vertebrates so that's why. And octopus...because...well, they're actually pretty intelligent creatures, so I wouldn't feel right about that for some reason.
EDIT: outside of sushi - have had octopus as part of sushi but it's not the same I think.

Yeah, generally octopus sushi in Western countries is of the cooked variety. In Japan they have that AND the good raw stuff.
It was hilarious making my mother try it when she visited me a couple of years back. I'd say it's an acquired taste.

It's not that bad - I've tried a few. They are either cruchy or slimy - but taste wise you can barely taste most of them. It's just the initial disgust at the thought of eating that rather than the taste that stops you.
