what goes on in maine...

look what i ate in sunny coastal maine!

oops. wrong photo.

After giving them a splitting headache, my sadistic friend maximus then dropped them on a hot-arse bbq grill (400F ) for 15 minutes or so. while they wriggled and grilled, he seasoned them with paprika and pepper (do not add salt to crustaceans unless you want the extra high blood pressure), and then brushed them with a blanket of bacon fat.

too bad the lobsters couldn't taste themselves afterwards, cause we could have told them that they were delicious!

thanks for allowing delicious lobster homicide, maine!

the story of lob-setah

lob-setah (or lobster as it is commonly known outside of fob communities) is commonly misconceived as a hoity-toity food. fact is, lobster in north america, was food for the poor (likely because it is a bottom-feeder), and people buried lobster shells to avoid the stigma of being a lobster-eater! shame!

anyways, this is the story of how this guy (actually, i think he was a she), an american lobster (Homarus americanus):


turned into this delectable feast for the eyes:

by this person (whom we will refer to as fat auntie from this moment forth):


by doing this:

the story goes like this (as told by my mom): "lob-setah (lobster) grow up and leave the fish tank. then you take lob-setah and then you chop him up and say you're sorry while you chop him. then you put him into hot wok with hot cooking oil, garlic and ginger, salt and white pepper. they you fry in wok until it is cook and put green onion on top. you take it, and then you eat it. the green part of lob-setah is the best part."

lobsters from prince edward island

on holiday in the province of prince edward island in the east coast of canada, a lone provincial island in the gulf of st. lawrence... home of l. m. montgomery's anne of green gables, red dirt, white-sand beaches, etc, etc.

i had the pleasure of experiencing a typical neverending lobster supper in new glasgow, PEI which comprised of all you can eat:

- dinner rolls and bread (surprisingly good rolls)


- mussels


- seafood chowder


- coleslaw and potato salad (and something that claimed to be garden salad)

- dessert (here is blueberry pie with blueberry frozen yogurt)

and your choice of main course between 1 lb, 1.5 lb, or 2 lb delicious atlantic lobster, or some other nonsense like roast beef, roast chicken... standard island fare, but very little compares to fresh boiled lobster dipped in melted butter.


oh and you get a bib if you ask.

and a heart attack if you don't.
