The Sochantre style octopus is a recipe that was unveiled by Manuel María Puga y Parga, known as Picadillo, in his book La cocina práctica (1905).
As he relates, Picadillo was a friend of the sochantre of the Collegiate of A Coruña. A sochantre is, for those who do not know, the choir director (choirmaster) during the services. Well, it seems that this good priest cooked great and this was one of his recipes. With it he delighted Mr. Puga during an invitation to his house and he included it in his book.
