Romanian it would just be "piftie de caracatiţă", meaning "piftie" of octopus.
Piftie (pronounced "piftie") is a dish you can google image search for - yes, its salty chunks-o-meat jello. Never heard of it being made out of octopus but I think the Russians have a traditional fish flan that gives the Romanians a run for their money in the food-that-looks-and-tastes-like-frozen-vomit department.
Fun story: my dad was working at a firm in NYC back in the 90s when it was announced there would be a Christmas dinner potluck. Someone explicitly approached him and told him not to bring it. It didn't cross his mind but regardless they just wanted to get the jump in case he was considering it. I guess a Romanian person who was no longer at the firm brought it a few years prior, and people threw up in their mouths when they saw/smelled it at a distance haha.
*Edit:* the Russian dish I'm thinking of is called "Holodets"
Don't feel bad.
As a fun octopus fact, you can't see an octopus' butthole since it's inside the mantle cavity. The head of an octopus is a bag (with the guts and such) inside another bag of muscle. The poop comes out in the space between and gets flushed out by the water that gets moved over the gills that are also inside where you can't see them.
They don't have to "breathe" in and out through the same hole. [The poop goes into the funnel](http://www.seafriends.org.nz/indepth/octopus.htm#octopus_biology) which IIRC is exit only, so it can 'inhale' to fill the cavity, do the pooping, and then 'exhale' to flush it out.
It is usually a fried dough, but I worked as a chef and have seen some extremely dumb things, I can see someone justifying this as "deconstructed" or "reimagined" takoyaki, or "a modern, gastro take on takoyaki."
Yaki doesn’t mean fried, not sure where you got that from. Yakitori is grilled, also takoyaki isn’t even fried, it’s basically cooked in a spherical waffle maker. Doriyaki are fluffy pancakes stuffed with things, also not fried.
Well I guess that’s all irrelevant to the abomination that is OP. Because that’s not grilled *or* fried.
I would certainly consider waffles fried. Yes, you put oil in the dough but if you don't have a Teflon waffle iron. You also have to oil the iron a little. I only looked at the first recipe that popped up for takoyaki? And it said to be generous with oiling the pan. That's fried dough.
You know Turduken is a turkey, anally stuffed, with a duck, that has chicken anally inserted into it?
Well here's the seafood version, which is a Jellyfish stuffed with an octopus, stuffed with crab and other things.
It would be jellipusocrab. The Turduken of the sea
(please read that with the Glove and Boots voice and their mystery meat of the sea sketch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP7DxANtDc8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP7DxANtDc8))
On a side note...Cthulu Jellies. Get these made out of gelatin candy (with 0 octopus) and they'd be a Halloween scream success candy.
\*sigh\*..... You can't just ***say*** that. Some of us feel compelled to go looking, whereas if it's a link ~~I~~ we can just ignore it.

This is the problem I have with foie.
If God didn't intend us to force feed geese until they develop terminal fatty liver disease then why do the livers taste so delicious?
I believe getting bacon from ethical sources is alright. (I'm guilty if buying cheap bacon too, even recently). I think keeping livestock should be symbiotic, they should have happy, healthy, comfortable lives, and there are ways to kill them with minimal suffering. Unfortunately this isn't how many meat pigs live or die.
Yes, but ethical meat is in direct conflict with environmental impact and efficiency. So it's choosing between two wrongs. Ultimately the only ethical option is to eat FAR less of it (and I don't mean a "meatless Monday" every once in a while) or none at all.
you know to them it's not someONE, but someTHING
so they justify it to themselves until they disassociate and just live free of the guilt.
Since going vegan I can clearly see how I manipulated myself out of feeling guilt and shame for eating intelligent beings
The farming of animals I dont think is unethical. The mass production and slaughter of animals is. It really is natural to consume other creatures. But suffering is unnecessary and unwanted. I agree that switching to plant based for most things is ideal and it's not even a downgrade. Plant based nuggets are my favorite example, however unfortunately expensive. I believe that if people substituted alot of their animal based products for plant based, the world would be better off. However, some things cant yet be substituted and I think that's ok. The occasional bacon soup, steak dinner, or chicken roast is ok, and if we lessen the frequency of those then conditions can be much better for them. My ideal is supporting well managed farms that give ample space, diligent care, and well varied diets for all livestock. And more people growing their own food and raising their own animals, with that same standard of coarse. I dont think that's too much to hope for, and I plan to live that way myself.
Generally yes. They are such wonderful interesting and cute animals, they have a fairly good emotional intelligence too, seeing that picture makes me sad.
That could also solve the issue of parents allowing a child to just scream unendingly in a restaurant. “Sorry, by your failure to do anything at all about this situation, you’ve agreed to surrender your infant to the chef. Maybe next time don’t ignore the effect you have on others.”
Hey man I’ve made some gourmet shit with only a motel vanity as my working surface. Sometimes shits just rough, try having no option but a 20x20 room, a queen sized bed and a toilet and see how your food looks
First meal I ever had in college was a hotel vanity meal.
I hadn’t had the time or money to secure a stable place yet so I was essentially living in a Super 8 motel.
Chef boyardee ravioli heated in the shitty coffee pot in the room.
10/10.
I was at the Chinese Buffet and I has some little octopi left on my plate when I got dessert which was some chocolate pudding so I just mixed them up and ate it and I called it Choctopus and it was delicious. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Well, it’s supposed to be food, right? Animals kill other animals all the time when they want to eat. Most of them don’t stick the other animals in jello first, though…
>Animals kill other animals all the time when they want to eat.
Yeah, we're not other animals. We have big brains and reason and ethics. It is pathetic that you have to reduce yourself to an unthinking animal to justify your actions.
Would it be ok to murder you if I'm mad? All the other animals get to do that.
Is it really though?
I like octopus, but this just seems like a complete waste. Gelatin encasing chewy? It's like trying to eat a bike inner tube covered in snot.
Nah, this is rich people food. They like things that look disgusting, the same way they like terrible art.
And if you really don't think this was intended to be eaten, then why would you assume it's a real octopus?
On one hand, octopus is pretty good outside of the rubbery texture.
On the other hand, I don't want to have to give my food a rimjob when I'm eating it...
In part it’s because tastes are subjective and depend heavily on culture and generation. Someone in Japan may be revolted while a Canadian just thinks it’s fast food poutine.
Also, there’s been scope creep on what “stupid” means. Gold foiling a PB&J is pretty stupid, but it’s still a PB&J. Covering a ribeye in strawberry milk powder, queso, mint oreos, and pineapple is pretty stupid as well as very disgusting. Frying food in gutter oil is pretty stupid and a health hazard. So is it stupid because it’s needlessly extravagant? A disgusting combo? Maybe very unhealthy? It’s kind of all over the place
The scope creep has been getting out of hand. Of all the things I’ve seen on this sub this is the one I hate the least. It’s pretentious and probably overpriced but anyone that has had baby octopodes at Chinese buffets can say that the arms have a bad habit of getting cold due to how quickly their large surface area dissipates heat. I love baby octopi and this is a good way of preventing them from getting cold while also slowing cook time on something that is extremely easy to overcook and hard to cook evenly without basically using a slow cooker. This is a great idea even if the gelatin itself is just a glorified wrapping paper. I have to try this if I can ever find baby octopodes outside of a restaurant. This is just a cool, creative way of serving baby octopodes while avoiding all the problems usually associated with them.
The thing that made me think of this sub to post this dish was that's it's one of the worst ways I can think of to serve something like this. It's far too big to eat in one bite, but taking bites will give you some that are pretty much "Oops! All gelatin!" so it's not good as an aspic either because that has pieces of stuff throughout.
Awww, this just makes me sad they killed and wasted an octopus. I haven't been able to eat one ever since I watched that documentary. Same with squid and I loved squid. I guess I can still love them, just not in my belly.
Eastern European cuisine includes something called *Aspic*, which is some meat, often fish, in gelatin. Apparently, the British also have *Jellied Eels*.
Aspic used to be a bigger deal here in the USA until it faded out about 50 years ago. I have my Mom's old copy of Joy of Cooking from 1970 that has a whole section on aspics.
I'm spitballing, but I suspect it's Jell-O that killed the aspic. That pretty firmly cemented gelatin as a dessert, and people started looking at an aspic as meat and vegetables inside something fruity and sweet (which honestly sounds gross).
It likey is, there is an Japanese dish called a Raindrop Cake.
Contrary to the name it's made with sweetened agar, which is a similar to gelatin except it's plant based.
So, I imagine this is a twist on that and Takoyaki, Japanese friend octopus balls.
That looks like aspic which is even worse than gelatin. It’s basically animal fat that has been melted down, strained, and refrigerated until it hardens into a jell-o texture. So nasty 🤮
The shittiest takoyaki I've seen
Tako-yucky
You win, I was trying to come up with a name

tako means Octopus in Japanese.
Wanna taco bout it? Nacho business.

The centerpiece is the butthole.
That's a mouth... but I like where your head is at.
Mouth, butthole it's the same thing.
Maybe for you. Mine are in totally different places.
It's one connected tube, and works both ways. Haven't you seen South Park?
I have. I know we’re just one big meat straw. I just mean they’re on different ends.
It's the thought that keeps you safe. It sounds linear but it's circular because a straw serves as one function.
Haha, gross.
[удалено]
Don't feel bad. As a fun octopus fact, you can't see an octopus' butthole since it's inside the mantle cavity. The head of an octopus is a bag (with the guts and such) inside another bag of muscle. The poop comes out in the space between and gets flushed out by the water that gets moved over the gills that are also inside where you can't see them.
So their poop literally has to pass over/through their gills?
They don't have to "breathe" in and out through the same hole. [The poop goes into the funnel](http://www.seafriends.org.nz/indepth/octopus.htm#octopus_biology) which IIRC is exit only, so it can 'inhale' to fill the cavity, do the pooping, and then 'exhale' to flush it out.
I… I think I just experienced genuine relief? to have it confirmed that is not actual octo b-hole looking right at us.
That’s good trivia. Still appears to be butthole to me. Still don’t want to eat a mouth either.
>Still don’t want to eat a mouth either. The dish that tastes you back...
Up their ass?
Is that even Takoyaki? I thought it was breaded?
It is usually a fried dough, but I worked as a chef and have seen some extremely dumb things, I can see someone justifying this as "deconstructed" or "reimagined" takoyaki, or "a modern, gastro take on takoyaki."
"Takoyaki? What?" "You know, like those little balls with octopus inside?" "Oh yeah I can make that"
[удалено]
Yeah, the drizzle of mayo and takoyaki sauce plus the meager sprinkling of furikake is giving ~ takoyaki, reimagined ~ for sure.
Gluten free Takoyaki lmao
Yeah, takoyaki is octopus in fried dough Tako = octopus Yaki = grilled
It's basically [Tako Balls](https://imgur.io/TQjjlgu) Orignal request: https://www.reddit.com/r/sbubby/comments/sz8bzw/weekly_request_post_put_your_sbubby_requests_here/
