I can tell you how I do the octopus, as I never done this before and I managed to make excelent, it's simple.

I boil the octopus in milk, for about 10-15 minutes, get it out, and let it to cool. Then cut it in small pieces and fry it in oil. Of course you should add some pepper and salt.

And that's it.

Can post some Romanian recipes as well if you are interested.

OKi doki.
Here are two, I will post more when I get a little time.

Chicken with sour cream

Get a chicken (preferably dead , as dead he won't drink your sour cream ). you can use the legs and chest if the chicken. Boil these in water until it's done. Add some salt while boiling. Remove the water then add the sour cream over the chicken. You can put some pepper too. Stir for around 8-10 minutes keeping the fire at low. The sour cream should get a little light-brown. Serve hot. I think the best drink for this is beer oryou can even try red wine.

For this next one, I don't really know how to translate it, in my language is called "racitura", let's just call it "coldness" (if you don't like garlic... this recipe is not for you then)

Here goes:

Get a fat chicken you can do this recipe with pork legs too that are fat, you'll see why I say this.
We'll concentrate on the chicken for now.
Ok, so, you can use anything you want from the chichen, except the liver. (I'm talking about the freezed chicken you find in super-markets). Cut the chicken apart and put it to boil in water, at low fire, as low as it can be. It should boil for around one - one and a half hours. The water will become oiled from the fat of chicken. 5 minutes before it's done, add the smashed garlic, put as much as you wish but do not over react on this.

Get the chicken out. Put in different high plates and then pour the liquid created while boiling. (I forgot, you should also add pepper and salt while it boils).

Leave the plates until they cool then get them into the fridge or someplace where it's cold. The next day the luquid should be like gelatin. Serve cold.
Red wine I think will be ok for this.

Note: if you do not boil everything for the time I said, the liquid won't "gelatin"-ize. (you can even let it around 2 hours to boil at low fire).

Enjoy!

This goes down a treat with my lot
HONEYED DUCK BREAST WITH ORANGE SAUCE
One Duck Breast per person, slash through the skin,put in to a cold dry and deep pan, skin side down, fry slowly and from time to time drain off the fat and save. when most of the fat is off the duck breast, remove from the pan, drain the fat from the pan put back onto the heat place the duck back in the pan meat side down this time,mix Orange Juice white wine and cornflour together and poor around the duck, add a good dollop, around 1 tbsp per breast of course cut orange marmalade to the sauce.
Dribble over the breasts some honey and cover with a lid reduce the heat and simmer until tender stirring the sauce occasionally.

If you like it ginger can be added to the sauce to give it a kick,

The Duck fat makes terrific roast spuds.
