bjarvisI was cleaning off my computer desk this afternoon when I found this newspaper clipping from lord-knows-how-long ago...
When an octopus is not boiled properly, it will just "splat" when thrown onto an ice-hockey rink, Detroit fishmonger Alphonse Arnone says. The smelly animal sticks and often leaves an ink stain. However, after an octopus is boiled for 20 minutes on high heat with a little lemon juice and white wine to mask the odour, it becomes a rubbery missile, with waving purple tentacles, that can be hurled for 30 metres and will bounce & roll satisfactorily across the ice when it lands, The New York Times reports.
You're welcome.
