Only one proper way to respond to this.

I'd rather see the opposite.

The title was misleading.

Asari: Please take me on a date to your home world! Please... !

Human: (sigh) fine... we can have dinner at a nice restaurant.

(later that evening)

Asari: What do you call this? It is delicious. (precedes to finish eating octopus tentacles) mmm.

Waiter: Does she know she is eating-

Human: Shh...

(everyone in the restaurant stares: O.o)

Is this some sort of weird fetish?

The genetic difference between an asari and an octopus is most likely bigger than between a human and an octopus.

Now a turian eating chicken, that'd at least be a bit closer to the point. Of course, turians can't eat the same things humans can, so that's kind of a moot point.

What about their hair tentacles?

[N172]

Humans have eyes, cows have eyes, chickens have eyes, fish have eyes, pigs have eyes, did that prevent humans from eating them?

Some body part named the same does not make them equal!

 

The one kind of animal that humans do not eat because they are "like humans" are apes, asari are nothing like octopus.

More in common with a tree than a Salarian...

They are not tentacles though. I appreciate the attempt at humour but I'm failing to see it; maybe it's just been a long day at work.

Unless they have octopuses on Thessia...

Which would most likely be nothing like earth's octopi, genetically.

Could be physically similar though.

Lame as it sounds, octopuses is the correct plural in English. The word is Greek and not Latin

Then wouldn't it be octopoi?

it's been a while since I've done any Classical Greek

Anyway, humans do not eat certain animals because a majority or a vocal minority developed some kind of emotion towards those animals or their religion tells them, apes are considered "relatives" by almost everyone and dogs are considered "friends" depending on where you go.

 

An asari whould not have such feelings for an octopus, there wont be any "Thats almost an asari!" reaction.

Ever brought Sgt. Gardner his food supplies in ME2? He will mention that his calamari gumbo is an Asari recipe. He even has a line on it being cannibalistic.

More odd than wrong, really...

Really can't say that's true. Psychologically, people empathize with what they can assign familiar meaning to, even if the similarities are superficial. It's why people can look at a picture of an animal and say it has "expressive eyes."

Assuming this empathy is universal (which, given the rubber-headed-alien nature of the MEU, it evidently is), an Asari might very well see a piece of themselves in terrestrial mollusks and hold a natural aversion to eating them. Go into "uncanny valley" territory and they might see them as something disturbing, as we might see an animal that resembled a disembodied human hand. In any case, it seems that various alien species in the MEU have enough in common to find members of other species sexually attractive (and through evolutionary flukes which, ah, strain credulity, can even make the parts fit). That their significant other had an evolutionary history over billions of years where the paths never once crossed doesn't enter the equation.
