Lobsters are goddamn insects. Shrims too. Oysters might as well be big old boogers. Why would someone eat this shit? how is this gourmet?! You know what's related to Lobster and Crabs? Centipedes. Scorpions. Spiders. COCKROACHES. Seafood - or at least these "delicacies" are fucking disgusting. So what's you excuse for eating giant ocean spiders?

[Anonymous No.4272959]

They taste great when cooked well.

[Anonymous No.4272961]

get the fuck out you picky eater manbaby

[Anonymous No.4272962]

Lobsters are delicious
Shrimp are Delicious
Crabs are delicious
I agree on the oysters

regardless, they are only related by being arthopods, and n some of those cases arachnids. You're a fucking moron. Lobsters and Crabs are not insects.

[Anonymous No.4272985]

fun fact: lobsters used to be only consumed by the poor and helpless.

It was even considered cruel and unusual punishment if prisoners were forced to eat it more than once a week

[Anonymous No.4272987]

When I eat crustaceans, I don't eat their whole bodies. They're cleaned, too.

Insects are eaten whole. That idea repulses me, which is why I don't eat them.

If centipedes, spiders, scorpions and cockroaches tasted good I would eat them to.

I'm curious how it became such a "fancy food", honestly. I enjoy lobster and crab a lot, but I know its origins and it doesn't make sense how much its status has changed.

[Anonymous No.4272994]

According to Andrew Zimmern, lobsters were once fed to prisoners because it was considered one of the lowest of the low kinds of foods you could feed a person. Not sure how that transitioned into it suddenly becoming a delicious food to upper class people.

Kinda like how black slaves were fed the scrap parts of animals. Now suddenly chitterlings, gizzards, pig feet, ham hawks, etc, are considered mainstream items to eat now.

Same with modern teens wanting to bring back the ugly early 90's style of clothing now. People are just retarded like that.

[Anonymous No.4272995]

Probably because they DID have a reputation as being "sea bugs", which grossed people out. But then they tasted them.

Alright, I'll bite because I am in a good mood.

- Honey is bee's barf
- Yogourt is spoiled milk
- Same with cheese
- Vinegar is good wine gone bad

And could go on and on and on with eggs, sweet breads, liver, ground meat and so on.

How are all these foods related ? They are all delicious done properly.

Would I cook and eat worms, scorpions and cockroaches if I knew where to find them and how to treat them ?

Hell yeah.

They probably weren't cooked properly back then. A poorly prepared lobster is terribad.

The Hebrew bible instructs the Israelites to stay away from shellfish. That includes crabs and lobster as well. They're dirty sea life. They eat the scraps of poo off the sea floor from other sea life. Pigs are unclean animals as well. That's why Muslims go apeshit over not wanting to eat bacon and other pork items. I feel the same way they do. But god damn I love ribs and sausage links. They know how to make them good down in Chicago.

Actually, I think the main reason is that pigs don't have a proper neck like other animals do. Animals have to be slaughtered at the neck in order to be halal.

Pig have no sweat glands. They can't sweat out their toxins. That shit stays in them. They eat poop, they can't sweat out the toxins. They eat any sort of slop/trash, they can't sweat it out.

Cows can't sweat either, and they eat the same stuff pigs eat, idiot. Maybe sweat isn't some sort of "toxin purge" you fucking hippy.

I've always been curious about how trolls choose their topics.

60 boards, a world of choices at your fingertips, and you arrive on... seafood.

Not a topic people are bound to get into arguments about. Not something people feel particularly strong about. Not something subject to opinion or preference.

A food. You choose a food. The enjoyment of which is decided for you by your body.

It truly boggles the mind.

It also tells them to slice off parts of babby penis and suck the blood.

you must not be aware of the obssessively defensive attitude of most of this board towards the objectively indisputable culinary merits of marine animals and slabs of beef

[Anonymous No.4273207]

When you eat lobster you're usually eating it with a lot of butter. It tastes alright on its own, but I think most people remember the taste of the butter when they eat lobster and so they associate lobster with that buttery taste.

>>4272995

Plenty of people ate them in prison and many people rioted because of it.

I know my grandparents would have been utterly disgusted by the idea of eating lobster. They considered it better to be able to eat beef every day, they thought that was a sign that you were doing pretty well in life (and these were people that grew up during the depression). If they had to eat chicken a lot they'd probably think of it as kinda pathetic.

I think over time we've had beef prices go up so high that people have looked for other food items they could consider special to eat. Cause honestly, the price on lobster or crab isn't vastly different from the price of nice beef.

That lobster is one of those things that people really dip pieces of into small bowls of butter in order to eat, makes me really think it can't be the flavor of lobster that people are really that interested in.

well lobster is like a lot of shellfish, it doesn't have much flavor on it's own. I think lobster is magical in part because of it's texture it's unlike any other food from the sea.

As for why lobster was for lower classes, it has to do with the roman catholic church. Catholicism had every animal ranked in order. most people are familiar that angels are ordered, but that went all the way down to oysters, which were seen as the lowest of the low. A few spaces above oyster was lobster. These animals were seen as so low it was an insult to feed them to people. Joke's on them because that shit's delicious.

I'd eat pretty much anything if it tastes good and wouldn't kill me or make me sick.

These comments seem contradictory.

I get that it has a nice texture, but I think that pretty much all it has going for it.

[Anonymous No.4273465]

I'll occasionally eat lobster if it's on the menu, just because my desire for variety sometimes trumps the fundamentals of taste. But let's face it, it's just not very good food.

I've never made it at home because I've never had the desire to do so. On second thought though, boiling crabs alive as revenge after they pinch the shit out of you is pretty sweet, maybe doing the same with lobsters could be fun too.

[Anonymous No.4273653]

>>4273641
No, it was directed at OP, who, correctly or not, implied that lobsters are gross because they are insects. Whether this assertion is true or not is irrelevant, because OP was implying that eating insects is gross in and of itself. If you attempted some critical thinking instead of just being autistic, this would have been plainly evident to you, dumbass.

Yeah, because when someone wants to cover up the flavor of something, they use the lightest, least invasive of flavors to COMPLIMENT it, like butter, lemon, or a burre blanc.

Hey, explains why people eat chitlins the same, right? Lightly cooked and in drawn butter? Oh wait we fry those and douse them in hot sauce.

[Anonymous No.4273731]
