Love lobster! Best way is to pith them, remove their bands (no rubber taste in the steam) then steam (not boil!) them. Yum! And to those vegans who rip carrots live out of the ground and devour them while still alive, and just as avidly devour the sex organs of Brasccia what is the difference?
Want a tip for preparing lobster? Set the little guy in a baking dish with some cheap wine in it. Leave him there for about an hour.
By the time you’re ready to drop him in the pot, he’s potted. So when he hits the water, he’s not all aieee!clench. This actually makes the meat much more tender. Learned the trick from my cousin, who owns and operates Piccolo Angolo. He’s been cooking Genovese food for 50 years…
I never meet a lobster I didn’t LOVE . Baked , boiled , fried , grilled , fricasseed the lousiest one a I ever had was excellent. Animals? OK but I’ll call them dinner .
The misty job Davis could not do , Wilson didn’t do , Arne is in there up to his pits working with people I know he loathes busting his hump taking abuse I couldn’t take for 5 minutes . Sure he has made mistakes & who doesn’t ? Earning his salt & not keeping it . He is our gov maaannnn thanks .
Lobster is OK but too pricey…if I had the money to burn filet mignon….just as much taste with less guilt….AAWWW MANNN Now I sound like a light beer commercial
Doesn’t it work with lobsters the same way as with frogs? Put him in the wine, OK, drop him in cold water, start the burner. By the time he would notice it’s hot, it’s too late. Clarify a quarter-pound of butter, and put the plastic sheets down.

How do you know carrots have no nervous system? Research has shown that plants have an active one. Does this mean they can also feel pain? Who knows! Think about ti while I go out and pull weeds….
I don’t think I’d want to eat a lobster cooked for 50 years no matter how potted, pickled, marinated or stewed it was! But the idea of getting it “happy” before boiling or steaming it sounds humane.
Many summers ago, I saw yellow jackets flying around a trash can. In the can was an almost empty bottle of cheap wine (Night Train or Thunderbird). I opened the bottle, poured the little bit into the cap, placed the cap on top of the trash can and watched a yellow jacket slurp it up. Then it tried to fly away, but it was uncoordinated and couldn’t. Guess even simple insects can get trashed, so why not a lobster?

Hm: “The Lobster Pen(itentiary)”. That must be the joke. I wonder who’d transmit an appeal on their behalf in the first place. PETA, maybe.
Don’t worry, lobsters, you’d be safe from me no matter what.

Reason # 2 order more lobster when supplies wane .

Throwing it into boiling water is not a very humane way to kill an animal, anyway. Think about it. (and no, I’m no vegetarian at all ;))

Or could also be a direct line to Captain Eddie/Non-Sequitur to order more. Of course, he’d bring in giant whale instead.

I love carrots and stringed-beans squealing as I bite down into them!
