Seems both texture and taste is different. --Vic You've never had lobster?? Gasp... Been a choice on the menu plenty of times at "events." Always chose steak. Probably always will take a good steak over lobster. And I certainly wouldn't pay the crazy prices they want for it. Isn't lobster dipped in butter to make it palatable? I've had snails once, called escargot on the menu of course. All garlic-ed up to make them taste other than slime. Don't want a steak that needs steak sauce either. I put a little A1 on it once in a great while anyway, because I just want to taste some A1. Cracking crab legs is nonsense too. More calories lost than gained. Unless you dip it in butter. That'll fatten it up. I do like crabcakes - when somebody else gets the meat from the crab. But I admit crab and lobster have more snob value than a good steak. Nothing against lobster, mind you. Golfers probably eat a lot of it. You know, guys like O.J. Simpson, Tiger Woods, etc. --Vic |

I vacation in Maine quite often, and can't get through a week up there, without having lobster several times. I love eating lobster when I'm in Maine, here, not so much. I find that true with quite a few foods. I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, but when I'm in Chinatown... Italian food, however, I don't need to be in Little Italy. --Vic |

If he didn't want to, he just wouldn't try something. When he was in the Navy, they served Chop Suey, not Chinese at all, but they thought it was.

Sort of like shrimp but a lot richer and aside from the tail, a slightly different texture... Really though, if you ever get up there, take the time to munch a couple lobsters. You will not regret the time spent. "Maine" or New England lobster tastes more like Alaskan crab than it does like shrimp. It's sweeter than shrimp. Lobster from the Florida keys tastes a bit more like shrimp. It's all good, though. |
