Would you eat a Lobster?


Lobsters are sea cockroaches. You wouldn't eat a cockroach would you?

Of course not.

Now put down the lobsters, you sick demented food freakz.

I've eaten lobster before, didn't taste as good as I thought it would.

reply

LOL. Same.

I'm not a fan of most seafood overall. Swordfish is good though.

reply

I like seafood, never had swordfish before: what does it taste like?

reply

If you like seafood you should definitely try swordfish. It's kind of like salmon crossed with tuna. The texture makes it unique though, it's meaty like a steak.

👍

Same as well! Also, had the same experience with sushi.

Definitely in the minority here but I just don't find "raw fish/seafood" delicious.

reply

👍

Sashimi is raw fish, sushi may or may not have raw fish in it - sushi refers to the type of rice and how the dish is presented.

If a cockroach had as much meat as a lobster maybe?

Not a huge fan of lobster as I don't really live close to the ocean, and it seems to me that here in redneckland that lobster seems to be mostly a method to eat garlic butter without too much guilt.

reply

LOL I would probably eat them too.

Cockroaches just need to be re-branded as "land lobsters" and served with garlic butter or tarter sauce and suddenly we'll all be chomping 'em down and willing to pay lobster prices for them.

reply

Probably. I know there are a few places in the world where cockroaches are considered good eats. They certainly are abundant in many places as well, so it could help with food shortages.

When you really think about a lot of the food we eat....it's pretty gross.

Me the one and only time I ate lobster: 🛌🤢🤢🤢🚽🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🛌🕕🕐🕝 🤢🤢🚽🤮🤮🤮

Do you eat shrimp?

The only thing stopping me from eating more lobster is the price.

reply

Occasionally. Shrimp Paella is fantastic.

reply

Yes I would, and I’ve eaten thousands of crawfish too.

reply

I've had rice dishes with crawfish in both Louisiana and Spain, those are delicious.

Actually I would say Crawfish > Lobster.

reply

I prefer lobster but I've had crawfish in New Orleans and it was damned good!

reply

Yes, certainly.
I love Lobster with butter and or Lemon.

I like most saltwater seafood, YUM!

reply

Delicious, but it is the addition of drawn/clarified butter than makes it a superb treat.

reply

Honestly, they don't taste like much. When they were the cheap food of the poor then yeah, it used to be bland protein for people who couldn't afford meat, but hell no the taste isn't worth a bucket of money!

There was a bit in "Little Women" that amuses me to this day: Amy wants to have her friends over for dinner, even though her family doesn't have enough money to host fancy dinners, but they splurge for once and buy a chicken! And then the plans fall through, and when the dinner is rescheduled they can't afford a second chicken... so they have to buy lobsters. Yes, in the 1860s, lobster was cheaper than chicken.

reply

I once went on a car camping trip through the Canadian Maritime provinces, and for a week or so we switched to lobster from our usual dinner fare of mac & cheese because it was cheaper!

reply

I'd still rather have mac and cheese!

The truth is that lobster doesn't taste like much.
