I think it's terrible for people to kill a lobster and just eat his tail and claw meat. What a waste. |
Eeek, girl! You brave! Boy, I love the finished product! But I'll have to let others do the deed as I would just have no appetite left if I had to drop them in the boiling water & hear them struggle to escape or the death throes! Thankfully, there are plenty of fine restaurants within driving distance so I can still indulge! Same with chicken, etc. If I had to wring a chicken's neck or hack off the head, or take off it's feathes, chop it up, see all that blood, I'd have no appetite left - guess it would be a great way to lose weight. Ha! I'm so lucky to be a city girl!
