There is an unfortunate prejudice in the United States against serving squid and octopus. Along the Mediterranean coast and in the Orient they are considered delicacies. It would surprise many to know that much of the canned “lobster” sold in France is rumored to be octopus. In any case, le homard du pauvre is simply delicious. It should be served with a robust dry white wine.
