    People here have generally more mundane tastes. I've never been to a restaurant in the UK that prepares octopus, and have only ever been able to eat it in Spain

    1. How many meals do you have per day? -Actually 2 (lunch and dinner), for breakfast I only take a coffe.
    2. What time of day do you eat your largest meal? -30-40 min
    3. Do you skip meals often? -No
    4. Have you fasted? -
    5. What is the weirdest food you have eaten? - Nothing strange in Spain, but maybe in other countries is, "callos" (lamb trpes),"mollejas or litiruelas"(pork gizzards) and "caracoles" (snails)quite often and only2-3 times in my whole life, "sesos" (pork or lamb brain) , or "criadillas"(pork or lamb testicles). "angulas" (glass eel/eel fry) could be strange also for foreigners.

    Octopus for me, it´s not a strange food as El_Abominación said.I like it very much.

    Les suele echar para atrás el color, pero una vez que lo prueban suele gustarles mucho.

    Yo si hay en el menú si como en un restaurante solía pedirlo, lo malo es que se te queda la boca medio negra...

    It´s edible and it´s fantastic, the problem is that your mouth will look black during a time.

    Surely you can find a Galician restaurant in London, you can find anything in London, octopus is a Galician typical food .

    There are probably a lot of Spanish restaurants in high-end London, we had a big influx of Spanish immigrants over the last few decades. Vast majority live in more upper class parts of London in the West and Centre, I live in a very shitty part of London and haven't seen many Spanish in my area or any Spanish restaurants. I'll need to go around Marylebone or another nicer area to find some
