FooDog: NINDroog: A few towns over they make a lobster pizza for $25, and it's fantastic. They can keep their fancy $450 pizza.

In my town there's a place that makes a phenomenal lobster flatbread w/ fig jam, scallions and gorgonzola. It's delicious. Used to be $17 but they recently jacked up the price to $21. Well worth it though. Looks something like this:

I need that. And when you need something, that's an adult responsibility.

With airfare, parking, rental car, and hotel that might beat the $450 mark...

/Expensive pizza.

z0mbiegrl: You forgot sushi.

Sushi is also an acceptable answer.

Just... no cheese. Of all the things I can think of combining with lobster, cheese is the best at covering up all of that sea bug's delicate natural flavor.

No problem. You can always make a beach day out of it. Nahant isn't too far away and the town has five public beaches as well.

Lobster sucks. Shrimp is tastier and cheaper. Only inbreds from Maine and the nouveaux riche bother with it

I had a pizza once worth $5000. It had sauce and cheese and was topped with pepperoni, and fifty $100 bills.

It looks delicious.

u mean it was worth 0 if it had $5000 in semoleans

Nino's in NYC serves a gold-leaf & caviar pizza for $1,000 bucks. Or so say the signs outside the restaurant.

As a pale, tattooed white girl who thinks sand is itchy? No thanks. The food I'll go for, beaches aren't my thing.

/It's the thought that counts

downstairs: HaywoodJablonski: Lobster sucks. Shrimp is tastier and cheaper. Only inbreds from Maine and the nouveaux riche bother with it

Yep. People think they like lobster because they happen to like the taste of butter and lemon, or whatever else they put on there.

Not getting the hate for lobster. Short of venison or a good porterhouse it's the meat that my body thanks me for most in regard to digestion. I just did some work for my landlord in Jonesport Maine about 4 monthes ago at his beach house and we walked about 100 yds from the house and got a 5 gal bucket full of them for like 50 bucks. That, with a huge beef tenterloin and a bottle of 50 year old scotch makes me think I have the best landlord in the world.

I love lobster. But it's overpriced. Crab legs are better for the money. Twenty piece McNugget even better.

Drooooooooooooools!!!!
Damn, they can make soy taste like anything!!! (except beef)

For 450, it'd better come with a TRUCK of anchovies.

Anchovies > lobster any day of the week.

Best pizza if you're in DFW: Cavalli's off Regent and Belt Line in Irving..

Thank God they put a picture of what a pizza box may look like.
I would have ordered it and been extremely confused.

Anchovies? And be turned into a bowling ball due to a diabolical avant garde experiment ? No thanks.

Seems nasty. Just putting the most expensive ingrediants doesn't make for a good blend.

Ok, full disclosure. I've never had lobster where its caught fresh. We don't have lobster down here in New Orleans... but we have all sorts of seafood that tastes MUCH better here than in the rest of the country.

Maybe I should reserve judgement until I travel to the North East someday.

Heh,,, Louisiana. I see. The one thing about lobster I notice is if it's in the fridge way less time then any other foodstuff then it will fark you up bad. I'm born and raised NH. It's local and even though,,, my mom would not eat lobster because she swears it was the worst case of food poisoning she ever had. I have no science or citations but I'm thinking lobster spoils faster then shrimp. However, I got really sick eating casion (sp) catfish. Not because it was not fresh or going bad mind you,,, I just liked it so much I ate the whole 3 pounds in one sitting. I shat for days.

downstairs: stonicus: I love lobster. But it's overpriced. Crab legs are better for the money.

Not an expert, but I've heard stories that the people who market lobsters- their trade orginization or what have you- over the past few decades has done a good job as pushing lobster as a "food for the rich"

And back in colonial times, it was the opposite. It was actually the only thing served to prisoners, and they even revolted.

Again, not sure how much of this is myth.

Yeah,,, I think it's safe to call BS. Colonial indentured servants and slaves even without butter, would've been OK with lobster. I'm no't even sure I'm going out on a limb with this one.

Skyd1v: Black Alaskan Cod is considered to be a luxury ingredient? Huh.

Damned things keep grabbing the bait on its way down to the halibut. After a while you get tired of reeling them in.

/tasty, though. I will admit.

Well, here's an article from what seems to be a reliable source:

Note they rebelled not because lobster was bad, but because they were served the same thing nearly every day. I'd go crazy if I was served steak every day.

Good thing I didn't go out on a limb. Yeah,, no,,, yeah. I'll admit I was wrong, but, I will never say lobster is a horrible food. It's delicious and tasty and leaves you crapping a hulla hoop. Maybe those colonist should a tried Tofu.

downstairs: I'd go crazy if I was served steak every day.

I missed this part. I would go crazy If I was served the same meat every day. Everyone who's anyone knows it's steak/potato,,, chicken pasta, seafood/rice and flip it every other day with a pizza. That's the diet. Even if I was a billionaire that's what I'd eat.

My room mate is the shift manager at a small, local gourmet pizzeria. I get random, topping stuffed awesome pizza brought home all the time. All better than this crap.

/random pizza make for random fatness.

MBooda: No anchovies? You've got the wrong man. I spell my name...Danger!

//what?

They never come up into the hills!

precia: I don't understand Lobster Thermidor. Cheese does not go on lobster. Lobster hardly tastes like anything to begin with.

You can eat lobster with your hands, with butter. You can eat lobster in a sandwich, with mayo and some lettuce. That's it.

You've either eaten nothing but crappy lobster, have no taste buds, are boring, or any combination of those.
There are lots of things to do with it. Lobster bisque, lobster tacos, lobster soufflè, lobstercakes, stuffed lobster, lobster chowder, etc etc etc. All are delicious. All taste like lobster.

Well Amos Moses was a Cajun
he lived by himself in the swamp
He hunted alligator for a livin'
just knock 'em in the head with a stump
The Louisiana law gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal huntin' alligator
down in the swamp, boy

Well everybody blamed his old man
for makin' him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy
his Daddy would use his
for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist
and throw him in the swamp

About forty-five minutes southeast
of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
Lived a man called Doc Milsap
and his pretty wife Hanna
Well, they raised up a son who
could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth
called him Amos Moses

Now all the folks around south Louisiana
said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest
the meanest alligator
and just use one hand
That's all he got left
cuz the alligator bit it
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

Well the Sheriff got wind that Amos
was in the swamp tracking alligator skin
So he snuck in the swamp
gonna get the boy
but he never come out again
Well, I wonder where the
Louisiana Sheriff went to?
You can sure get lost
in the Louisiana Bayou

About forty-five minutes
southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
Lived a cat called Doc Milsap
and his pretty wife Hanna
Well, they raised up a son who
could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth
called him Amos Moses

Set out on 'em Amos
Make it count, Son

About forty-five minutes
southeast of Thibodeaux, Lousisiana...


thats what I think of crap pizza

Nope. Born and raised on the coast of Maine. If I'm going to eat lobster, I'm going to eat farking lobster. Why are some people so intent on covering up the flavor? If you can highlight the lobster in a dish with other ingredients, do so. But don't smother the damn thing in cheese.

i'm gonna go to my palace and eat lobster cuz IM HOMER SIMPSON
