Boat Forum / Boats / July 2008Lobster Warning
For you bug epicures, found elsewhere. Is it true that eating a lobster without eating the tomalley is like kissing your sister? That's what one guy said. I'm innocent in the way of eating lobsters, and have only given my sisters pecks. --Vic > FDA warns against eating lobster liver > > 17 hours ago > > WASHINGTON (AP) ?

I'm a Yankee, and my mother was a Yankee. We ate lots'o'lobster when I was growing up in Connecticut, and we did not eat the green stuff. Neither did my father, but he was only a Yankee transplant. When I was growing up, there were some wonderful seaside restaurants in the area where you could buy a lobster roll filled with real sauteed lobster for 65 cents. :>) Sometimes I went to visit a good friend who lived in Waterbury. His father had a fish market. On weekends, we'd deliver live lobsters (and other seafood) to some of the restaurants in Waterbury. On foot...we were too young to drive. We'd get a buck tip per delivery. In those days, a complete lobster dinner, with a two pounder and all the trimmings, was about $9.00 >> For you bug epicures, found elsewhere. >> Is it true that eating a lobster without eating the tomalley is like [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > days, a complete lobster dinner, with a two pounder and all the > trimmings, was about $9.00 http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b287/hank100/Miscellaneous/lobsterroll.jpg No Green Stuff >http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b287/hank100/Miscellaneous/lobsterroll.jpg > >No Green Stuff Sure didn't sound very appetizing, but I'm a lobster virgin. --Vic >> For you bug epicures, found elsewhere. >> Is it true that eating a lobster without eating the tomalley is like [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > complete lobster dinner, with a two pounder and all the trimmings, was > about $9.00 Damn expensive lobster. In about 1960 an Abalone dinner at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco was about $3. I can remember taking the wife, then girlfriend to Paoli's in SF in about 1967. $21 for dinner for 2. Rack of lamb and a bottle of wine. The government and "Public Service" Unions have caused unbridled inflation. I made $23k a year as a mid level engineer in 1980. Now is poverty level. No wonder jobs are being exported overseas. We have raised salaries beyond any resonable level Instead of maybe 2x 3rd world country, we are 20x. >>> For you bug epicures, found elsewhere. >>> Is it true that eating a lobster without eating the tomalley is like [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] > exported overseas.

Duck for cover and get ready for a counter attack. 8>) Here's one. I made 18k in '80 my first job in IT. No degree, previous job washing trucks. Teamsters. Not bad, and not out of whack. About the same per hour. Easier money. But it quickly went up from there. Private companies. No unions involved. Wasn't long before I was making many times the union guys. They basically got COLA increases. It was the anti-union Jap car buying white collar crowd that inflated wages. I worked with thousands and thousands of them. How they figured pukes sitting in offices writing disposable code or engineering crappy American products, or managing the same were worth 5 more times than workers actually producing goods is beyond my understanding, but I went with the money flow. And everybody here paid my inflated white collar wages. Those nasty "professionals." Duck for cover and get ready for a counter attack. 8> --Vic >>>> For you bug epicures, found elsewhere. >>>> Is it true that eating a lobster without eating the tomalley is like [quoted text clipped - 52 lines] > >Those nasty unions.

Herring and the rest of the Smelly Seven haven't figured out yet that *they* are the pustules.

Don, I didn't whine about having to squeeze pustules to get out the foul smelling stuff every morning. I can understand Harry's foul disposition, though. Damn, going through that every morning has *got* to leave a foul taste in your mouth! >>> Duck for cover from the nasty pustule popping! >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > that > every morning has *got* to leave a foul taste in your mouth! He smells that foul smelling stuff then eats it?

I hadn't heard of this problem up here. Although I grew up here in the city, we didn't eat much lobster because it so so expensive at that time. I'm too young to remember the good ole days when fishermen families ate lobster & crab numerous times a week because it was considered cheap food. Anyway, I haven't and will never eat the 'green stuff'. You can bank on that. http://www.clearwater.ca/home.asp?cmPageID=318 > For you bug epicures, found elsewhere.
