'Twas my Lady's birthday today ^_^ Her husband, for a gift, bought us all tickets to this awesome Lobster Feast being hosted at Findlay Market.

So I learned how to eat lobster ^_^ And not just learned to eat it - I learned to mutilate, savage and destroy the poor beast deconstruct it New England style ^_^ Nancy-Sensei praised me, so I feel most accomplished XD

Now off to write and things. Managed about three pages before, and given that I'm jazzed on lobster, chocolate, and nummy coffee I should be able to crank out another three, if not six. Mwahahahaha.

Speaking of lobster, Nancy's had this weird thick, mushy black stuff in it. Happned to Sarah once at Mitchell's Fish Market. No one seems to know what it is. Any lobster experts in the audience?

I think that's the roe, but it's only black when it's raw or undercooked. It should turn bright orange/red.

I had imitation crab meat for dinner. Bite me.

Yay Spanky! Eatin' lobstah New England style! :)

You just beat the shit out of it. They pass-out menus all the time in Boston with "How to eat a Lobster" but everyone just takes the little claw crunchers and mutilates their beast. There's no sense of decorum or etiquette when lobsters are involved. :) (Or clams for that matter.)

That just sounds like an invitation for disaster. Ew.

Nope, we've both had roe before and this didn't look *anything* like roe. It was way to slimy. It was weird. Mom's had hundreds of lobsters and she'd never seen it before o_0

And roe is *tasty* this was pretty bitter

And it's only good when the juices are running down your arm as you slurp down another piece!
Not an adventure for a fancy restaurant - done properly it's a delicious mess!! M did us proud - she can eat lobster with me anytime.

Lobster poop.

I've seen it before when I've eaten lobster (lobstah) but I'm not sure what in the heck it is. Lobster poop sounds like the most proable explination.
I should know this. I live in freaking New England...

Mmmmmm.... Lobstah..... I have always held that my last meal on earth must consist of a whole steamed lobster, preferably paired with a succulent steak (with any hope like the one I got at the Coronado Boathouse).

I would say it is likely either poo, or Tamale. Though tamale generally has a rather greenish appearance. That's essentially cooked lobster guts. My uncle loves the stuff, I think it's nasty.
