Re lobster

I remember when I was in high school (boarding school) reading in the Playboy Advisor (see, I didn’t just look at the pictures!) about a guy who was eating lobster at a fancy restaurant. He dropped a piece of lobster in his bowl of butter, retrieved it with his fork and ate it. Later he found that he had actually retrieved a piece of unmelted butter when he found the piece of lobster in the butter bowl. His question was, “Wasn’t I supposed to be able to tell the difference between a piece of lobster covered in butter and a piece of butter covered in butter?” The Playboy Advisor essentially said, “Not really.”

I’ve saved a lot of money not eating lobster since then.

One last story about lobster

Being from New Orleans, I wondered what would have happened if the Acadians (Cajuns) had stopped in Maine rather than going all the way to Louisiana. What would they have done with lobsters? Isn’t a lobster just a huge crayfish?

The husband of a friend of mine said he had found himself in Maine with some crab boil seasoning and tried it out. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good so maybe, the way it’s cooked is as good as it gets.
