Octopus Feelings.

Did you know that in August 1940, Der Sturmer, Adolf Hitler's favorite newpaper, pictured an octopus, the Star of David on its chest, being skewered by spears lebelled “Truth” and “Enlightenment.”?
It is quite amazing the fact that the octopus was often used as a symbol by the Nazis to denigrate members of the Jewish religion …

Neverthless, I was imagine two of us on Brazil in these summer (or I should say winter taking account the weather from the previous days here in Portugal).
We were at the restaurant near the beach talking to the “Chef”, the owner itself, asking for the whole jerimum (pumpkin, better known as abóbora) with its top cut off and its seeds replaced by seafood – lagosta (lobster), polvo (octopus), lula (squid) or camarão (shrimp), cooked in the pumpkin with sauces of coco (coconut), manga (mango), marajucá (passion fruit), pitanga or graviola.
And afterwards, just a hint of sorvete de menta com liquor de cravo e canela (mint sorbet with clove and cinnamon liqueur).

Still Delicious in your mouth (or in your imagination), isn´t it?
