Devilslilsister -> Lobster (2/9/2007 6:24:03 AM)
http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2006/06/17/sellers_shrug_at_lobster_ban/ http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/company/pr_06-16-06.html Well now, i'm impressed. A company worried about life over a buck? Who'd of thought it was possible?? Now granted, i heard on the radio today that they werent selling live lobster because they didnt like the way they were being killed and had found that eletrocuting the lobsters was more humane. That might of just been the imagination of the nuts on the radio station. But still. Screw the lobsters, i'm impressed with the humans. Do lobsters actually feel? Anyone know anything about lobsters?

All I know about lobsters is that they're yummy.

meatcleaver -> RE: Lobster (2/9/2007 6:38:42 AM)
If you do the job right its difficult to see how a lobster could feel anything. My guess its the people that have the problem with killing the lobsters. http://www.cooking-lobster.com/cooking-lobster/lobster-killing.html I don't know much about how lobster's perceive so I guess I don't know if a lobster would feel a 10 inch chef's knife going through its head.

It is high time that we take drastic actions to rid "the scourge of the ocean" from our waters. For years while we humans have been doing everything within our power to ensure or oceans and waterways remain pristine these vile crustaceans are out there shitting and fucking and fowling the very waters we try so hard to protect. The time to act is now! In a few million years when these insects of the sea finally get enough gumption to make it to land they are going to be pissed!....It's us or them! So write "Hole("Cuz this is undoubtedly the idea of some cunt...that either by blowing or fucking her way through the ranks has found her way to a level of position and power to make this idea even remotely possible) Foods" and tell them to start selling lobsters or their will be dire and swift repercussions. Where is "Mantopia" when you need it most? The world will not be safe till we remove everything other than Humans from it. Then all of our troubles will be lifted... Global warming....Mountain goats. Up their on their lofty high perches farting up a storm and all of their gas has to have an effect. Every problem man faces today can be attributed to some critter or woman.... Kill all of the lobsters! out. D.G. p.s. Jesus please protect me from your followers.

As long as we're gonna do this up right, we better not kill any more mussels or clams by dunking them in to boiling water any more either. I've heard lobsters do actually feel, they have lots of little tiny hair-like sensors that allows them to navigate through the ocean and sense current, temperatures, etc. Of course, I read that in Gourmet, not an actual scientifically based magazine, so who knows. I do know the lobster doesn't actually scream when you put it in the boiling water. Thats just air espcaping the shell. That's what you can tel l yourself anyway.. if it makes you feel better... muhahahaaa.

mixielicous -> RE: Lobster (2/9/2007 7:47:41 AM)

This site can be total hell for a dieter. Lobster with drawn butter would make a very very nice breakfast, thankyou to whoever is doing the cooking....mixi? Are you cooking?

sensualmagirl -> RE: Lobster (2/9/2007 8:06:20 AM)
~fast reply~ I heard if you want to kill them "humanely" just put them in the fridge for a while, they go to sleep and then go about your business of how you want to do the deed. I personally have somebody else take care of it for me, while I handle the side dishes for the lobster fest.... mmmm, haven't had lobster since the summer... YUMMY! This goes along with the fact that I like to beleive chicken and beef only come from nice plastic packages at the supermarket. Side note... having grown up in the Boston-area, I remember my mom would send me to the store and tell me that if the lobsters were under $2.99/lb to pick some up for her.... can you imagine that price today? And I'm not talking about those tiny chicken "lobstas" either...

Devilslilsister -> RE: Lobster (2/9/2007 8:06:50 AM)
Oddly, i dont really like eating lobster. Now i had some king crab legs last night and those were yuuuummmmmmmmy. But lobster? Bah. Yall can KEEP your lobster - so long as you share it with my wee one as she for some unforseen reason likes lobster. The wierdo

sensualmagirl -> RE: Lobster (2/9/2007 8:13:46 AM)
Interesting that they like lobster at a young age, they scared me when I was little... my mother just said there was more for her. Random thing I happen to remember hearing... lobster used to be the food of "servants" during colonial times because it was so abundent and cheap... so much so, that maids and other house servants would have in their contracts to limit how many lobsters a week they had to eat... I heard this on a show on the FoodNetwork, I don't have a link, sorry.

I grew up in the Boston, Mass area too in the 50's and 60's. We'd have lobster in the summertime a lot when it was cheaper. We'd just boil a big pot of water and toss them in, five minutes later they were done. In those days they were probably $1.40 per pound. I wonder what they go for today? That's one type of seafood that never seems to run out. They're everywhere!

Nothing like a lobser tail dildo...I'ts ribbed for her pleasure. out. D.G. p.s. Jesus please protect me from your followers.

Lorelei115 -> RE: Lobster (2/9/2007 9:41:01 AM)
Personally, I don't eat lobstah. In fact, I don't eat any seafood. That's right, I live less than an hour from the ocean and I don't eat seafood. Summer on the beach is HELL.. all those clam shacks.. actually makes me nauseous. grin One exception is chowdah. The real, true, homemade stuff, with bacon and onions and cream, not the can o' crap you get in the supermarket. Gotta be thick enough to stand a spoon up in. The other exception is tuna sushi. I know, its weird. Won't eat it cooked, but raw is delicious.

sensualmagirl -> RE: Lobster (2/9/2007 9:43:06 AM)
Last check at Shaws in downtown Boston (and I haven't checked in sometime now), I beleive they were around $6.99/lb (on sale) for the chicken lobsters (those small soft-shell kind, which I like better anyhow)... The OP mentioned Whole Foods put the ban on them, they were probably a LOT more there per pound... quote: ORIGINAL: popeye1250 I grew up in the Boston, Mass area too in the 50's and 60's.
