Message: [QUOTE="FairView, post: 3715662, member: 899"] I am indifferent about lobster. I just don't get how people go crazy over it. It's just eh in my book. No matter how you prepare it, the vehicle you pair it with delivers the dominant flavor. Plus to eat a whole lobster is just too much work. Yet, people go crazy for it. I worked in a high-end, white tablecloth restaurant one summer during college and we went through lobsters like crazy. As an aside, baked stuffed lobster is a terrible thing to order. In order to prepare it, a live lobster is stabbed, cut open, stuffed and buttered while still alive. It's then put in the oven while still moving. Open the oven after five minutes and it's still moving. I know the prep guys did reach in and pull some part out before stuffing. Don't know whether that affects pain sensation. Weirder still was cooking soft-shell crabs. We'd take live moving crab, give him a flouring, dip through the egg wash and then seasoned breadcrumbs. We'd then drop this battered, moving guy into the deep fryer. At least with the meat dishes someone else did the slaughtering and I didn't have to witness it. Now .... back to the question at hand. My wife is a lobster lover. (Trying to impress her with restaurants while dating was not inexpensive. Which is ironic because she was not looking to be impressed and I found out later that she thought I was foolish spending all that money.) Anyway, she is butter hands down. Not even a question in her mind. Me? I'd rather have a PB&J - chunky please. [/QUOTE]
