Octopuses
One experience I was determined to have while I spent time in Greece, was a meal of octopus. I had eaten it once before in a fancy restaurant in Newark, New Jersey. However, I had a hunch that it would likely taste better in a country known for eating such a creature.
While I did not eat those from this stash at the neighborhood market (in or near Thisio), I did partake on a couple occasions. I rather enjoyed the cuisine and the suction cups do not bother me a bit.

Sometimes the creepier it looks the tastier it is!
Fantastic photo!
Octopus is delicious! Korean's have this meal where the octopus literally goes from cutting board to plate to table, due to the over stimulated nerves the tentacles are still moving! wild stuff.

The first time I ate them my boss told me to be sure and bite down on all of the suction pads so that they didn't stick to the site of my esophagus.
I'm not sure I could stomach all the squirming, but it certainly is a great story to tell (with video)!
