squid or octopus, beaten until soft enough, and eaten as a delicacy. I've never eaten it. Many people I've talked with agree that its taste is not bad, but its texture is rubbery and slimy.

...Tanooki (sometimes spelled tanuki) is not pronounced ta-nu-kay, but ta-nu-kee.
I guess this is an easy mistake to make, since a lotta Japanese words end in "ay" that are usually pronouced "ee" in America. (like karate, usually pronounced ka-RA-tee, but should be ka-ra-teh; and the movie Princess Mononoke)
