It seems like depending on their story from generation to generation in ancient times.  :)

But  my friend from Chicago eats Takoyaki , Tako Sushi . and his stomach is  twice or three times as big as me. so I don't say "it's on me" whenever I go to sushi shop with him in order not to go bankrupt

Answer

Hello Ryous,

I eat it as a salad or Tako Sushi and it is delicious indeed.
It is actually eaten all over the world in form of salads, grilled or stewed recipes. It is being even pickled all over the Mediterranean
( Greece for example). It is a matter of taste if people like it or not ,whether Americans or others. If you heard stories, then they are most probably individual cases or because they didn't taste it before, they assume it is yukky ;)
