I like to put mine in the freezer for 15-20 minutes sometimes. It's really good if it's left in the fridge overnight. Only the air-popped, or pan-popped stuff though, doing it to the microwaveable kind makes the stuff they call butter turn all nasty.
I'm not a big fan of squid per se, but I do like calimari. I love octopus though! Now that's an interesting combination. I've never heard of that before, I don't think I'd like it but then again I used to eat marshmallow fluff sandwiches as a kid.
My girlfriend is American and now I have her eating beans on toast on a regular basis. I still can't get her to eat beans and cheese on a jacket potato though!
I live in Boston but I'm originally from Trinidad West Indies, Iguna is more like an island delicacy almost everyone eats it in Trinidad it's not uncommon. I have never felt bad about eating it because we do not keep them as pets. It's really good it tastes like chicken
Okay, this ketchup thing you guys have got is really weird. As for the beans on toast, I've never heard of that, but it doesn't sound too bad. When I was in Canada I ordered some fries and they asked me if I wanted gravy and I was like, "Gravy?" and the waitress, "Oh, are you from the States?" I tried it and it was actually pretty good.
One time my friends from the philippines cooked some balut. If you're not familiar with it, it's a duck egg with the partially developed baby duck fetus still in it. Check it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut It's actually pretty good, it tastes like eggs and chickent =]
