mmm.... cockroaches...

mmmm, cockroach tails.

Sorry, but Dungeness crab tastes 100 times better than lobster. I will also take yummy tiger shrimp over lobster. Lobster is overpriced and overrated.

If the cockroaches ever get that big and meaty, i'm sure we'll be eating them too.

Madagascar hissing cockroach can grow to pretty large sizes. Would you like some?

I love salt water lobster, like the ones from FL.

Sooo good.

But over priced.

I guess i'm one of the few people that would rather just leave the lobsters and the crabs in the ocean. They both taste like fishy nastiness to me unless they are covered in butter, and pretty much any food taste's good covered in butter.

Yeah, lobsters are one food it's not too hard for Jews to understand why they're not kosher.

Want to hear a joke?

This rabbi and Catholic priest walk into a bar and start drinking together. They drink and relax for awhile. After a few minutes, the priest turns to the rabbi and asks, "Rabbi, you Jews keep kosher, right?" The rabbi says yes. "Come on rabbi, tell me the truth," says the priest in a low voice. "Have you ever tried pork?"

The rabbi looks away for a second and then nods. "Yes, I did try it once," he answers quietly. Then they sit for awhile again working on their drinks. After a few minutes the rabbi says to the priest, "Ok Father, it's your turn. You priests are celibate, right?" The priest nods his head yes. "Tell me the truth," continues the rabbi. "Have you ever tried sex?" The priest is slow to respond. Then in a low voice he answers, "Yep, I have." The rabbi goes, "It's a hell of a lot better than pork, ain't it!!" :p

I've stated this already, no less than 4 times. Insects of the ocean. Most seafood = nasty looking. Whoever thought that they should rip off their shell limbs and suck out the guts, well... that's all I really need to say. Don't get me started on shrimp.

lobster and crab are actually closer in relation to woodlouse than cockroaches. (pill bug, roly-poly, potato bug, whatever you prefer to call it)

being that they're all three Malacostraca.

I learned a lot in my Entomology class :)

Apparently, Cockroaches taste a bit like bacon when cooked.

What was the name of that guy who got fangs surgically grafter into his teeth? I remember he used to eat cockroaches regularly.

yep. that's a land-based crustacean. Funny how that can work. But ultimately, crustaceans are very similar to the ordinary insect, just adapted for a different environment.

These things however...I probably wouldn't touch.
how did i know that it was going to be the geoduck? :)

Lobster used to be poor man and prisoner food. They would feed lobsters to prisoners as punishment. :laugh: Poor people ate lobster because no one wanted it so it was dirt cheap.

I've always preferred crab over lobster but grilled lobster tail is pretty good. $26 a pound at Costco. :)
