It's great, especially the tail! Happy New Year!

Want a real treat? Wrap the tail in bacon!

Lobster is not Kosher
shareI’m allergic to shell fish
shareThere was a contestant on the most recent MasterChef who said he was deathly allergic to shellfish. Being a chef and being allergic to a food is kind of weird.
shareThere was once a contestant on Chopped who was allergic to shellfish. When her turn came up it turned out she overdid the salt. They asked if she had tasted it and she responded that she couldn't because of her allergies. She only got through the round because another messed up worse.
shareWe also see this type of thing with contestants who are vegetarians. They won't test taste their dish.
shareI think I saw that show, or there was more than one such contestant. I used to watch Chopped a lot.
It is hard to imagine being a chef who for one reason or another can't or won't taste some of their food.
scallops
shareYou're not missing anything in my opinion. Crab is better than lobster and prawns are better than crab.
Agreed. It tastes kind of like shrimp but much blander, which is why they give you butter. Thd libdyer doesnt have enough flavor to be worth eating on its own.
Definitely not worth the money, not even as lobster rolls.
I'll take scallops and crab any day over lobster. A lot of people rave over lobster, and it's so expensive, but the first time I tried it it was a big disappointment. It's okay.
shareLobster is delicious! But there's not a lot of meat....
shareI eat it once in a blue moon, although it’s a lot of hard work with all the hammers and pliers and whatnot.
shareYes, I always get it on my birthday, because society tells me I have to. It's weird. It's so hard to eat! I really get nothing out of the experience.
shareI always feel like I’ve been in a fight, lol.
shareI've literally had to get bandaids! Those shells are sharp. This is what the rich elite want to eat? lmao
shareI've cut myself as well.
Lobster was actually a poor persons food back in the day. They served it in U.S. prisons so much a law was passed that limited the days they could serve it. Funny how things change!
lol i'm guessing the prisoners wern't getting it fresh thrown straight into the kettle. i bought some frozen lobster tails once that were so gross, made me so sick, i literally couldn't touch the stuff for years after. i still have a shudder of revulsion just thinking about it while I write this.
shareOnce upon a time, lobster was considered fit only for the riff raff. There's a surprising amount of food to have made that journey.
shareIs that so? That doesn't surprise me. I love the history of the chicken wing. So undesirable they used to throw it away. Now by the pound it's gold.
shareIt's crazy, right? From what I understand, lobster was incredibly plentiful and easy to catch, plus it looked like a bug so the "elite" wouldn't buy it.
shareYes, crabs and lobsters used to be mad plentiful till the 20th century figured out how to mass harvest them. Now we have to restrict ourselves less they be exterminated. Also, they were crazy huge. Like literally three times bigger than today.
shareGlobal population should probably slow down a bit.
shareMassive seafood fan, I eat it at least 4 nights a week. Lobster is totally overrated. I have no idea how it became such a prestige dish. It mostly tastes like the butter and salt you put on it. There's a dozen types of crab that are just as hard to crack into that taste infinitely better.
shareThe lobster has been a delightful addition to movies and tv shows. We got the wonderful Darryl Hanna scene from Splashed. The hilarious maine lobster scene from Seinfeld. And the charming lobster references with Phoebe from friends. Feel free to list more, folks.
shareNot to mention its contribution to communications technology.

And now I need this. To the art studio!
