Dammit! I can't seem to find it. I think I tried to find it because i wanted to submit it. I could have sworn it was on here. I saw it through netflix and it was one of the first full episodes I'd ever watched and one of my favorites. Here's a link to the clip. http://www.travelchannel.com/travelchannel/TV_Shows/Anthony_Bourdain/Video/Tony_Eats_Live_Octopus
I guess if I can find a copy of it to embed, it shall be submitted by me... until someone finds the original! LOL

I've had fried calamari, more than once, and it never did anything for me. I thought it tasted bland, and I didn't care for the texture. Still, I'd be willing to try it again if it were seasoned, as long as it wasn't too spicy. (I like spicy food, provided the spice doesn't overwhelm all the other flavors.)

I don't recall seeing the Anthony Bourdain clip that you're mentioning, but I'd watch it if you found it for me. And served me some potstickers. Mmmm...potstickers. In reply to this comment by Issykitty:
Personally, no... but Issy and Frankie probably would. LOL! I do enjoy having grilled octopus and squid at the Korean BBQ, and it is usually marinated in a sauce that contains very spicy gochujang (hot pepper paste). Have you seen the Anthony Bourdain clip of when he went to South Korea with the producer of his show who is of course Korean? I will find it. I believe it is on here. It is a most interesting episode!

Have you ever tried this? If so, remind me to NEVER mess with you. Anyone who could do that strikes fear into my bowels. Yes, bowels.

Agree with him... as a father of four, I agree with him.
Now... I'm not of the school of 'no tv, no video games, no fast food'... but I am of the school of IN MODERATION!
And any time one of the kids shows signs of being a little dependant on the video games, it's unplugged and put away for a week or more.
I fricken HATE the biscuits (BBQ shapes, pizza shapes, all that sort of thing) which you can just smell as soon as you open a box of them. The ridiculously overpowering smell of flavour enhancer 621, chemicals, chemicals, chemicals.
Our kids love fruit, there's always a bowl, we have 2 plum trees, an apple and a lemon tree and are growing our first crop of veggies in our veggie patch. Our kids always have a selection of raw vegetables with their meals.
When I see parents who always give their kids cordial or soft drink, or... oh this annoys me... if they give them milk they always add flavour to it, so it's strawberry or chocolate milk... ARGH! WATER and Milk are the two drinks our kids get at home.
But yeah, not militant on the TV or games etc, I have great fun sitting down with the kids to watch a movie, or playing a Wii game with them. I had those experiences as a kid, so why shouldn't they? But I also had time limits, as do they.

Oh, absolutely, he's bang on about the vast majority of parents, and it makes me very sad.

Also, I know I do let them watch too much tv and play too much Wii, even though we limit as much as we do... I still feel they need to be using them less. I have a friend who has a couple of young kids, and they have no TV in the house. Those kids are fricken amazing with what they can already do. One is just starting kindergarten and has already read the first two Harry Potter books and is attempting to compose things on her violin. The other hasn't even started kinder and is already writing such that you can actually work out what words they are supposed to be.

Just stunning stuff, and sure, I know that after a few years kids kind of all level out and catch up on those basic reading/writing things, but it's amazing how much further ahead kids can be when those things are really full on nurtured by the parents.

Still, in our house I completely refuse to give them Nintendo DS's... so many of their friends all have them, and they spend so much time on them... ALL the time. Man, it's just wrong. My kids have pestered us for them, but no, no way will they be getting anything like that until they are old enough to buy one for themselves. And they are also never getting TVs or computers in their rooms either.

The eldest of my kids is 7, and friends of his and younger have DS's and TVs/DVD players in their rooms etc. It's just so very, very unnecessary.

If there was only the option of what most kids have today and just cutting off TV/Video games, I'd be on the side of cutting them off entirely.

How much of the population would u estimate treats their kids like this though?

Absolutely friggen awesome, and I applaud them for this in all ways I do have queries:
a) A lot of that wood looked like untreated pine, isn't that going to weather really quickly and fall apart?
b) The number of nails and bolts and things put into that tree... is that going to cause it harm and maybe kill it?
c) Why can't I have enough money to have that much land and to be able to afford that amount in materials. Seriously, I just recently built a sandpit, a veggie patch and a BBQ area, and those cost well and truly enough, the amount of money this project must have cost is impressive.

and

d) Yes, I'm just jealous

Holy crap, they actually got jets to flyby for a college football game?

They do flybys for pretty much anything nowadays. You could probably get one for your next family BBQ if you ask nicely enough.
