In response to my earlier post on the Octodog, reader Ian Roberts wrote in with a killer recipe -- one he and his wife call "Octopus in Seaweed":

"My wife adds a drop of green food coloring to the pot of Ramen noodles, then arranges the octopus hot dog in the middle. The kids love it..."

Now, I'm not a kid, but that sounds brilliant. Yet another reason to buy an Octodog to make this all easier. Ian also added that a simple Google search brings up a score of similar recipes. Bon Appetit.
