How do you catch them - by putting your head in the water and feeling around with your teeth?

do they label all the seafood that makes up this dish? why aren't you feeling as bad about that shrimp, for example?

Let me explain - I am Bengali - that means you live on former living creatures or you combust or something. We gleefully chomp it all up.

That's why I can't explain why I felt so sad/sick about the darned baby Octopus - still dunno.

About shrimps: These are a staple sort of part of our culinary repertoire - so no even acknowledgments let alone regrets there.
