In Lisbon recently, the menu for a seafood-filled 'Spaghetti Mediterraneo' offered a delicious combination of 'octopus, shrimp, and selfish with oil', which was at once a source of laughter and a painful reminder of my hormonal teenage years.

I'll be on the lookout for more - perhaps as my own form of payback for repeatedly massacring a few foreign languages myself in the past 12 months.

This was a fabulous post- I laughed out loud! I found your blog awhile back while I was searching for content on Malaga, Spain. I am now living and working (teaching English) in Malaga and still enjoy your posts!
Cheers!
Thanks a lot Nearandviajar! Muchas gracias.
