🇮🇹 Bari Food Diary: Octopus Heaven & More!

🐙 Why Octopus Rules Here After seeing a giant octopus caught at the port (locals cheering!), I had to try: Octopus salad at Marinara: QQ-textured tentacles + tangy sauce = perfect summer dish 🥗 Orecchiette con frutti di mare: Puglia’s iconic "ear-shaped" pasta 🍝 (must-try!) Bonus: Free post-meal shot 🥃 (staff cheered until I downed it!) 🍔 Octopus Burger Love €16 masterpiece: Whole baby octopus + zesty sauce (no regrets!) Pro tip: Go early—lunch lines are wild! ☕ Breakfast Mishap Cappuccino + waffle 🧇 → drowned in chocolate sauce (European sweetness level: lethal) Silver lining: Cheaper than Germany! 💰 🍢 Chinese Food Nostalgia Fried skewers + malatang = almost like home 🇨🇳 Shoutout: Southern Italy’s competitive Chinese food scene! #OctopusObsessed #PugliaEats#Bari
