Lately I’ve started noticing lobsters everywhere.
Excuse me, how much is that lobster there, the big one?
For some strange reason people seem to have a thing for lobsters, especially old lobsters that they want to liberate
Cutchogue family raises money to free lobster: the family didn’t want the oversize lobster to “end up on someone’s plate.”
Kids raise money to save 6 kilos lobster’s life, he’ll find a new home at Long Island Aquarium.
Protective German shepherd Sami tries desperately to stop her lobster pal going into the pot for family dinner.
Well, lobsters ARE quite fascinating!
They chew food in their stomachs through sets of teeth located right behind their eyes.

They can regenerate limbs and claws the same size as the one that they have lost, which is good as it is with their legs that they taste food
They keep on growing until they die, which is a lot considering they can live to be one hundred years old.
Maybe it’s the fact they look somehow prehistoric, don’t they?

Some of the facts about lobsters are pretty cool.
They have two different claws, one to cut and one to crush, and they can be on either the right or the left side, which makes them right and left clawed.
Well, today it’s just you, me, and the original Catalan lobster recipe.
“A traditional and simple Sardinian recipe, very tasty but easy to prepare, ideal if you are trying your hand at cooking lobster for the first time.”
One large lobster, 3 red onions, 200 grams fresh cherry tomatoes, well, can cherry tomatoes, one small endive, one celery, one fennel, one spring onion, one red and one yellow pepper, one bunch of radishes.

There’s no shortage of references to lobsters in popular culture, Lobster Quadrille from Alice in Wonderland, for one, and Jean Paul Sartre who took mescaline, about one year before writing his existentialist manifest, The Nausea. And while he was in the grip of drug-induced hallucinations, what is that he saw? A lobster.

There’s the Rock Lobster, the Andy Warhol Lobster, and the famous lobster telephone by Salvador Dalì.

Lobster, lobster, lobster, so many admirers, eh?

In Italy, in a town called Reggio Emilia, it’s illegal to boil lobsters alive, apparently people are supposed to kill the lobster first, and then to cook it.

I guess they must have a sort of lobster police that follows people home from the market to make sure that they don’t boil their lobster alive.

Although everybody knows that it’s an urban myth, that lobsters feel pain, because their brain is too small and their nervous system too feel pain, and it’s a myth that they scream when they’re put inside boiling water: they can’t scream, because they don’t have lungs and they don’t have vocal cords, and anyway, this whopper of a lobster is just going to behave, aren’t you?

DO YOU BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION?
