Yeah back then only poor people ate it and buried the remains so others wouldn't know about poor they were.Lobster was considered junk food at one point. D-rations. Only fit to feed to prisoners. Poor prisoners.
Caribbean or warm water lobster is not that good. I mean it's ok but nothing you should go out of the way to eat. Maine or cold water lobsters are different and very good. You should try cold water lobsters if you get the chance. Cold water lobster is sweeter and you can eat the claws. Warm water lobster is not as sweet and have no claws. You can skip warm water lobster; you're not missing anything.I've never had lobster. I've had stuff made with it, but never a lobster tail. Whenever the opportunity arose, there was something else I wanted more. I'm ok with that.
I had lobster bites from Long John Silvers before, while they were fairly good I'm not sure I would eat lobster tail or crack the shell of a whole one.Caribbean or warm water lobster is not that good.

Why in hell would anyone want to ban potatoes from being brought with EBT? First time I've heard of that.My lady friend buys crab legs all the time with her benefits. A $30 dollar bag at that! She buys a big bag of oysters sometimes. Someone has eat that sh*t - I don't! It is food to nourish the body. I didn't know seafood was for well to do uppity folk's. I must tell the supermarket chains to put up a sign not for poor people. And a sign for ketchup - not for the wealthy. Didn't Wisconsin ban ketchup, crab legs and potatoes from being purchased with EBT cards or tried too?
Excuse me sir or ma'am: I follow politics on the most hated news network after Poxviews - MSNBC. It was covered in detail about them banning those items in the state of Wisconsin or was it another state? Well anyway - I watched it discussed on that station.Why in hell would anyone want to ban potatoes from being brought with EBT? First time I've heard of that.
I had lobster tail for dinner because I'm poor. I'm in Turks and Caicos and the only food item I've found that's relatively good value and not double the US price is the local lobster. Food is expensive here. So I must suffer and eat lobster even though Caribbean lobster is not favorite. Maine lobster is 100 times better than Caribbean lobster.
I guarantee you warm water lobster tail is not $12.99 /lb or less in Connecticut. You're not going to be able to find warm water lobster tail for less than $20 /lb where you live. I pay around $21 /lb at Costco in GA and I'm whole lot closer to the Caribbean and Central America than you.That is a shitty price for Lobster. In Connecticut, that Lobster tail probably would have been $12.99 a pound in summer, cheaper if it was on sale.

What about potatoes, peanut butter, and Ramen Noodles, among others foods?poor people menu is usually rice or nothing, whatchu talkin bout?
Cold water lobster I paid little as $5 /lb before in the past. Couple years ago when there was glut of lobsters being caught off the New England area, wholesale price of cold water lobster dropped to under $3 /lb. I ate crazy number of Maine lobsters that year. Cold water lobster is still cheap and I can buy it for around $13 /lb. But warm water lobsters it's completely different story. It's pretty much always over $20 /lb. Even during the Great Recession, price of warm water lobster tail only dropped to $15 /lb and quickly shot back up to $25 /lb. Now it fluctuates between $21-25. And that's at Costco where things are cheap.Well, yeah... it's cold water Lobster from Maine here. Like you said, it's better stuff anyway.
