My great grandmother grew up rough during the depression and lived near enough you could fish for lobster.
Her family would bury the lobster shells instead of putting them in the trash because they were ashamed the trash collectors might see they were eating sea bugs.
She still definitely enjoyed lobster. When it was in season it was tradition to have a family reunion for lobster dinner, and she boiled a mean sea bug. But she never could fathom even going to a restaurant to order a lobster - and that some people thought it was fancy would make her head explode
Lobster shells really should go back in the sea. Recycle that calcium (?).
This makes me think of how shredded tuna has become very expensive during my lifetime. It's still not super expensive but it's not dirt cheap either.
I'm thinking that when I'm old, will I see fancy restaurants serving spaghetti with shredded tuna, accompanied with real parmesan.
As it used to cost like some cents or something. Like 60 cents € or something for a can, whereas now it's more than 2€.
Hehe, sea bugs.
You joke with the sea bug jokes but apparently dishes that use bug meat actually are compared to crab and lobster in taste.
