Talk:Octopus as food

Cultural Sensitivity
I am of the opinion that talking about octopus's pain is not relevant to the habit of eating it, if that's what this article is about anyway. People eat hamburgers in America and the West - cow's don't feel pain? They're raised in factory farms but that is not brought up on the hamburger wiki page as a controversial side note in the very introduction... This is West-centric and culturally insensitive. The octopus is very small and the act of eating is rather quick - swallowing and chewing it in only a handful of minutes. A cow's life is torturous since its captive factory farmed conception. Lobsters are boiled alive too. This is getting out of hand and is very irrelevant --24.228.183.86 (talk) 21:19, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Spain should be better a section
The information on Spain is included in the section "the Mediterrean" and it says: "Octopus is a common food in Mediterranean cuisine such as Portuguese cuisine or Tunisian cuisine. In the Spanish region of Galicia, polbo á feira (market fair-style octopus) is a local delicacy. Restaurants which specialize or serve this dish are known as pulperías."

It is correct, but the region of Galicia is not in the Mediterranean Sea but in the Atlantic Ocean and the "pulpo a la gallega" ("polbo á feira", in the Galician language) is a typically Atlantic cuisine.

In addition, Spain is probably the country with the more consumption of octupus in the world after Japan, and the "Galician octopus" is one of the most famous dishes in the country.

For these two reasons, the article may be more precise adding a Spain section along with Japan, Korea, Maldives, Singapore and Portugal
