Seriously, why? It's like an expensive delicacy. The fact is, lobster used to be considered a poor mans meal before WW2. After that it became some sort of an upper echelon meal for wealthy people.
But the thing is, lobster is like the cockroach of the sea. The bottom feeder that eats worms and even other lobsters.
Why is it a delicacy? I don't get it.

 

[INC]

Not sure, maybe because of the importing after the war, making them available to the rich only, making them be an exclusive thing. I don't really like crustaceans anyway

Shrimp is my limit, id rather have squid

 

[Paasei]

No idea, but some people eat bugs too....

 

[Tesseract]

dunno, crab is better

Sort of related, be have a local seafood and steak restaurant up the road, who advised lobster for sale, and showed a picture on the social media, of them in the tank fresh and alive

Then some vegan or one of the other non meat eaters, made such a fuss about it being murder, they were forced to apologise and take the advert down

Just thought id share the entitlement of these cunts, forcing a restaurant to remove shit, whilst trying to run a struggling business in a pandemic.

That is all

 

[Stouffers]

They are red and people hunger for foods in the warm color palette.

 

[Mihos]

I love lobster

And it is expensive because it is hard to ship and goes bad quickly.

But saying its only for rich people is funny if you have ever spent 5 minutes in a Red Lobster.

 

[teezzy]

I love seafood

Could they just NOT eat there if they were against fresh cooking? Oh who am I kidding, they weren't going to order anything, they just want internet points.

 

[AJUMP23]

Lobster is tasty and rich. I only eat it occasionally but it is very good when I do it. A lobster bisque is also very good.
They also look cool.

 

[Cunth]

Seafood is shit food

 

[Spokker]

Lobster is too rich for my blood but I do love crab legs.

Screw apologizing, I’d make a sexy commercial featuring a vegan and me in this suit

 

[DESTROYA]

OP have you ever tried lobster ?
Living in NE it’s a readily available almost at every restaurant and if done right is delicious, don’t knock it if you never tried it.
Dont get so hung up on what they eat , growing up on a farm I’ve seen chickens eat dead mice and worms also pigs eating other live baby pigs and dead chickens so it is what it is, animals are going to be animals.

sure, i think they caved, because we're a small town, and they need the business, so best to just take it down, i know a lot of people basically told them to stfu tho, and just get on with their lives

but the entitlement of it, trying to shame a business and potentially lose them money (during a pandemic), because youre a vegan or some shit. pricks

 

[Richard Packer]

Garlic butter.

 

[M1chl]

I guess everything which is harder to get is "exlusive food" no matter how shitty it tastes. I mean I ate caviar and it's really horrible. And that's just an example. I really like sea food but you have to be near see to have sea food good tasting, the refrigerated shit which you can buy in grocery strore taste like shit.

 

[Arkam]

It’s delicious. No more discussion needed. If you haven’t tried it, I recommend you do. If you have and don’t care for it, no worries, to each their own.

We eat all kinds of “nasty” animals simply due to taste. No reason to over complicate things.

 

[GloveSlap]

Its pretty good, but not worth the price. I'm not even sure i can eat it anymore as i've started to get hives if i eat shrimp.

 

[Nester99]

It tastes awesome.

Next question, let’s bang out a few more easy ones.

 

[borborygmus]

Seafood is shit food

Smells rancid and it's like 60% intestines and intestinal contents and eyeballs and brain, and on top of that most fish is contaminated with mercury and other heavy metals. Sushi is full of parasites and parasite eggs.

Lobster and crab are gigantic insects.

I will never understand why people eat seafood with the exception of poor countries.

Because it is delicious. So much you can do with seafood it makes my head spin. Obviously people (like myself) who live close to water systems learn to cook with it and make great meals. Come down to Louisiana and experience our great food culture.

[It's Jeff]

Yup. Any place that sells lobster also has crab, which crushes lobster every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

 

[Kayoba]

Lobsters are overrated, crayfish are cheaper and much better.

 

[GAMETA]

I'm not a fan of sea food in general... I love fish, tho...

 

[IntentionalPun]

It tastes good?

I don't care if it has some history as a food for poor people, that doesn't take away from the flavor.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

I've had lobster once; I didn't like the texture and therefore don't eat it. However, I do eat shrimp.

 

[Fbh]

Because it tastes nice?
Though yeah I do think the price is part of the appeal for some people. I personally prefer Crab, which is also cheaper.

The crab casserole with cheese they make around here is one of my favorite dishes

 

[Deleted member 801069]

Why do people eat it? Seriously? Because it’s fucking delicious.

I love it so much I used to catch them. The spiny lobster in SoCal is amazing.

 

[macfoshizzle]

Because it's fucking good that's why. Why do people like olives?

 

[Woggleman]

I prefer shrimp and scallops. I especially like scallops. Lobster is okay but it is a bit overrated to me.

 

[farmerboy]

Because they taste nice?

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Maybe COCKROACHES are delicious as well.

Maybe just nobody tried to eat a giant sized one yet.

 

[Prison Mike]

Poached lobster tail in a butter and chilli sauce is damn good shit

 

[JBat]

I enjoy lobster and shell fish in general but I often wonder who was the first person and what were they thinking to look at a lobster or crab and say "imma eat that." things are terrifying to look at

 

[DESTROYA]

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Guys why do people like pizza?

 

[PhoenixTank]

Why is it a delicacy? I don't get it.

What it eats doesn't really matter... we're eating lobster muscle not lobster shit, ED.
Almost everything eats something lower on the food chain.

Is it overpriced compared to crab? Depends on the region but probably yes.

 

[Super Mario]

I love when people try to make explanations of why I shouldn't like something. (Checks the history books) "Oh dear, I I don't want to be like the poor men in the 1930s"

I like it because it is delicious. Any opinions that a well-prepared lobster, with butter, isn't good, are just wrong. This is also coming from a non-seafood guy. I like shrimp, crab, lobster, and clams. That is it. You can leave all of your fish, mussels, oysters, calamari, octopus, snails, etc in the sea.

 

[Goro Majima]

Shrimp > Lobster > Crab

Shrimp is probably the only one I genuinely like. Lobster always sounds like this amazing “treat yo self” thing but I always end up remembering I’m not a fan.

I also have a gutter palette for what it’s worth. I’d rather eat a great meatloaf, some BBQ brisket from Central Texas, or a perfectly crispy piece of chicken fried chicken over a high dollar steak for instance.

[lachesis]

I like lobsters, but I find the types of food you can make with it is rather limited.
The flavor is too delicate to be really used like a shrimp or crabs - especially in a broth based ones.

 

[IDKFA]

I eat lobster because I enjoy the taste of it. That's it.

 

[nush]

A huge Lobster with sauce is really delicious.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

lol you hack

 

[Woo-Fu]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the reason is because they like it.

 

[Virt McPolygon]

What I don't get is people who like lobster, but then scoff at the thought of eating catfish. They both eat shit.

 

[tichamac]

I do it to assert my dominance.
