Post by Wynette: This morning we passed this man carrying a bucket and a long hook thing. He’d just popped up to the walkway from the rocks along the beach. I couldn’t resist asking what he had in his bucket. He showed us. It was octopus, what they call pulpo in Spain. Anyone who’s done the Camino to Santiago knows that the Galicians love pulpo and there are restaurants everywhere that specialize in it. Charlie and I have tried it a few times but haven’t developed a taste for it. It is very chewy/rubbery.
After we passed the man we looked down and saw another man with a similar pole. Probably fishing for octopi as well.
Octopus is also like bed in Portugal!!
I love spellcheck!! Well liked…
Ha ha, Lynne, you had me mystified there for a while. It’s been great seeing your comments. Would love to hear how it has been for you guys living in Portugal.
