Dinner

[Der_Iron_Chef]

Cooked lobster for the first time last night. I was highly disturbed by the concept of throwing it in the pot alive. Only after I named it "Ann Coulter" was I able to do so

Yeah baby!

Did you release the waste fluid near the end of the tail?

Yup, both lobster and crab carry waste fluid (equivalent of urine) in their body. Basically you take a stick (I use chopsticks) and poke a hole where their bum ought to be and drain the fluid.

Throw it in the pot and you're good to go.

You poke the hole with them alive?? I cooked Lobster once live. never poked it. We also never cooked it enough, so never ate it.

Yes.

Such are the requirements of the preparation of food, my friend!
