Oh lovely, delicious Sea Bugs. And anyone over the age of five who uses a bib to eat them is a pansy. Or an inlander. Same thing, really.

The thought of that much lobster in the same room is kind of terrifying.

Ok, I wonder if I'm having emergent temporary fast onset dyslexia. I read the last bit of that headline as 4,000 blotter hits. Maybe I need to go back to college. Or another rave, it's been awhile.

That works out to 1 pound of butter per person.
 
2010-09-06 06:39:31 PM
Shouldn't the butter be measured in some sort of volume?

I hear that plans are already in the works to build a National Lobstercaust Museum at the site.

No mention of how to improve lobster with bacon? For shame!

Simple- baked or steamed, that is all.

Welcome to New England where EVERYTHING is boiled, Potato's, Carrots, Beets, Cabbage, Ham, Beef, Dough, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Corn on the cob, Hot Dogs. The list seems endless.

Oddly though, I agree with the baked or steamed (some insist on boiling though) cooking of Maine Bugs

or is having the king crab legs and wearing a hand-painted silk necktie. or something.

i loves me some sea bugs but they're powerfully expensive here, 2000 miles from either coast...

i need to develop a recipe that turns zebra mussels and asian bighead carp into a delicacy.

According to this link (new window), the carp are pretty tasty to begin with. Perhaps just go and have a fish fry. Hell, if you only catch bighead carp, maybe you can get your fishing license for free.

Maritime arachnids - lovely. Awful to hear that so many have gone to waste.

Once in a while, I wonder if terrestrial arachnids taste as good. Not for long, though.

Maybe I'm missing something.

I figure between lobsters and being in the Bangor paper, so close to Bangor he's bound to fit it in somehow or another.

When I was a single man, I knew a particularly lovely lobster shack right in the middle of a major American city. It was certainly a low-rent restaurant, but the view of the skyline and harbor was lovely, there was outdoor seating, and I made a point to buy us both a lobster "bake" (Steamed clams, corn-on-the-cob, hake, potato and Lobster) All my 'dates' were at least 3rd date or better, and it was the big test.

The worst would be stuck with a lobster bib, and cry about not being able to eat their meal.

The average was the gals who asked me to dismember their lobster when they couldn't find the nutcrackers

The best gals were the ones who realized that the big rocks were there for lobster-cracking, and had fun with the whole thing.

Well said.

Bibs? We don't need no stinking bibs.

I imagine that would have been uncomfortable. I can't imagine cracking lobster with my rocks.
