Lobster Dinner

So I am out eating dinner and first of all our waiter sucked. If you are dealing with the public as a job you might want to have some sort of personality. Also once in a while you might want to ask if I need something once in a while. Like a refill or how was my meal or anything. Yet I will still feel guilty if I under tip the guy. But that is not the crux of the post, I had a lobster it was good yes but it got me to thinking how many animals are served whole? I mean you drop a whole animal in a pot of boiling water and then serve it. Yes fish are served whole but the middle and innards are removed you know gutted like a fish. So there is head but not much more. Chickens no heads and no insides as well Beef well cuts of meat but not whole cows or anything like that. What a roast pig well the insides are missing, but not lobsters you get the whole thing. Head eyes weird green stuff that is just gross yet the meat is just so delish. You can say prawn but what the hell is it and any clam oyster or other mollusk cause they are just gellantanous messes So does it creep you out that we boil the whole animal and then eat it.

  1. That's why I don't eat whole lobster, even though they taste good. It's a whole creature, and when I look at the plate I kind of feel sorry for it: "Loser; now I get to bust you up with picks and pliers and eat your insides. Hah! You thought your exoskeleton would protect you? Think again. Oh, right, you're dead, can't think. Loser."
    I feel guilty, and it kind of spoils the meal.
