Greek Grilled Octopus

Grilled octopus Greek style.
Going to Greece, in this case Santorini, and not eating a plate of grilled octopus is almost a crime.
A few days ago, in fact, finding myself with the ship on the just mentioned Greek island, I took advantage of it and ate this beautiful plate of grilled octopus.
I must say that it is one of the most beautiful photos I have ever posted on this site, together with the other photo of polpo but Galician style.
Simple and very tasty (and very expensive!), placed on top of a few lettuce leaves.

The common octopus or octopus is a cephalopod of the Octopodidae family. It is also called polyp in common usage, but it should not be confused with the polyp which is instead for example the animal (belonging to the Cnidaria) that gives rise to coral.

Greek Octopus Salad

Greek Octopus Salad.
My most recent photos of succulent dishes have as their main subject fish and, in particular, octopus.
A few days ago, in Santorini in Greece, I was able to appreciate one of the most famous dishes: a salad with octopus.
Obviously there was lettuce, onion, tomatoes and octopus (stew). All seasoned with a drizzle of oil and a few drops of vinegar. Without forgetting a sprinkling of oregano.

La focaccia al formaggio di Cinciarin.
La focaccia al formaggio più buona è sicuramente a Recco (dove la focaccia col formaggio è persino una dop famosa in tutto il mondo) ma in molte pizzerie, specialmente in Riviera, se ne possono trovare di altrettanto buone.
Questa, in particolare, ne è un esempio:

Focaccia alle cipolle

Focaccia alle cipolle

Focaccia alle cipolle.
Una delle varianti più classica del tipico “pane salato” genovese è la focaccia con le cipolle.
Sicuramente è la variante più famosa della focaccia all’olio genovese.
Questa fetta (mi scuso se la foto non è eccezionale) è stata fotografata a Sestri Levante dal buon panificio Luca 2.

It can be eaten for breakfast, as a “fast breaker” in the morning or as an aperitif-appetizer. It is traditionally accompanied with a small glass of white wine (or gianchetto in Ligurian). It is customary (not typically Genoese) to dip the focaccia in cappuccino or milk for breakfast.
