My best friend, who is also my catering assistant, & I have the bizarre habit of talking on the phone to each other late at night with both our t.v.s on the food channel with the mute on. I know, but that way if someone does something interesting we discuss it. Well, the other night Bobby Flay was cooking octopus, simmering it in water, vinegar, garlic, bay, peppercorns, and WINE CORKS! Those new PLASTIC WINE CORKS! (We know they were plastic because my friend had her closed-caption on.)Unfortunately, he gave the explaination before he put them in, so we never got to find out WHY???? Did anyone else see this episode? I know I'm not crazy because the recipe is on the website-

Any suggestions? I lived in Greece for 2 years, and they eat a LOT of octopus, but I sure never heard of this.
