Exeter Mom you’re, …

disturbing me.

In a good way.

Especially when you talk about starting with the legs, enjoying every part, and eventually arriving at the tail. I think I’m going to h3ll over that.

But then if the Jewish dietary laws are binding still binding on Christians I’m going to h3ll over Lobster anyway.

Eating a lobster is a lot like making love. Some people rush to the best part, others begin with the legs and enjoy every part, generally arriving at the tail long after everyone else is finished. Chacun a son gout as they say in Brittany.

Even better than a lobster roll is a lobster club. With bacon, heirloom tomatoes, avocado, and homemade tarragon mayo. Oh, and a nice white burgundy.

The Weathervane chain used to have fried Maine lobster tails on the menu, and they were also superb. What a pleasant surprise.

As the kids say, it’s all good, except for the celery.

Bug is the lobsterman’s slang for a lobster.

We drove up the coast of Maine a few times in the late 1990s, and one of my favorite parts of the trip was actually stopping at McDonalds for a McLobster sandwich — which was just a lobster roll stuffed high with fresh, local lobster meat. For someone who only ever sees a lobster on fine china at a fancy restaurant, it was a preposterous luxury. And it was only about $6.00!

Look at the face of that thing. That should tell you that it’s an insect. It’s not meant to be eaten. Two other ways you can tell that lobsters shouldn’t be food: the smell, and the taste.

I will gaze on a lobster as long as it is bathed in butter.

I don’t care who you are.

Just back from Maine, which is very much part of our family identify, as are lobsters. No year is complete without multiple trips to Nunan’s and Port Lobster in KPort. Yum yum.

As far as we’re concerned, a great lobster just needs butter and lemon. No rolls, no mayo, nothing else (except perhaps blueberry pie to finish).

Also please delete CV’s mention of the Connecticut-style thing, that is a curse upon society 🙂
