Have a late lunch and seeing as it’s ‘fast day’ (on the 5-2) I reached for an apple.

As you may see from the pic - it seems to be wearing it’s arse for a navel. I’m normally tolerant and widely-accepting of all manner of proclivities, I know this is 2020 etc. 😬 WWSTW do?

Right, I'm going to reply before I even read the OP, because I'm really not fussy about food.
Yeah, I'd eat it!

edit - looked at the photo now. Yeah, I'd still eat it. In fact I eat apples whole, pips, core the lot.

I'd paint eyes on it and have a conversation with it.

Then i'd eat it.

(the apple, not the octopus. I wouldn't eat that)

Nope.
Not a fan of pierced navels.

Is it like a navel ‘fascinater’ Or something? Saw some women had them on their heads (fascinaters not navels) at a wedding a few years ago. I don’t get out much. I don’t ‘get’ the wedding-style things either, but don’t mind navel-adornment as long as no crusty bits. I’ve eaten the thing now anyway. It was just like eating any apple yet now combined with some deft and cunning lip and tongue techniques. I disgust myself.

Would you eat this…

Probably. At least the legs.

I'd do what I do with all apples (and humans), cut the flesh off and eat it off a plate.

I would slice the apple so I didnt have to look at it. Love squid so I would definitely give the octopus a go.

Octopus deep fried, whole, are delicious. Best thing I've eaten in the Canaries.

How did they get the octopus into the canary?

I'll bet someone tries it on Masterchef at some point.

A misshapen apple, no problem. The legendary fermented fish stuff that Scandanavians eat, no way. I worked with a Hong Kong guy who was pretty daring about most things, he said he tried it and vomited, I take his word for it. Deformed vegetables are amateur hour.

I’d not eat it. It’s an apple.

Have you got any Lasagna?

Re octopus. Living in Spain, we're having pulpo for Christmas dinner, unlike turkey, everyone gets a leg. Boom tish!

I'd eat it from the other side to avoid looking at its arseface.

Northwind wins. Reading that made me nearly choke on some salad.

Definitely eat that apple. Not the octopus though. I just think they’re great creatures and therefore couldn’t eat one. It would be like eating a dog or an owl or something. Just seems wrong in my head. Daft I know, but some animals just don’t register as food to me

@pistonbroke,yup was missing our pulpo so when a local lad offered me some octopus (he gets lots of them in his lobster creels),I thought I would give it a go. They were very tasty but cleaning and prep was a bit of a faff so not sure I would bother again.Just have to wait for our next Spanish trip.

Apple, yes. Octopus, yes. Gooseneck barnacles, definitely. https://www.google.com/search?q=gooseneck+barnacles&client=ms-android-sonymobile&prmd=ivsn&sxsrf=ALeKk02UAPGNRt31m8ljSCC1ZUn6HSa2hA:1607117294261&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiy_L67orXtAhVeQEEAHVYqDoUQ_AUoAXoECBIQAQ&biw=360&bih=512#imgrc=rALT2YsMTxy6y M" alt="" />

I do this but have no idea why. Was never told to by parents and you’re the only other person I have heard of doing the same.

Didnt your parents ever tell you an apple tree would grow inside you? 😉

Back when corn on the cob was a restaurant starter (I was too hungry to opt for the glass of orange juice on a doiley), I once ate the corn, then the cob. Strange looks from the waitress taking my plate, and quite embarrassed parents.
