Imagine the days before these were expensive. Imagine being able to eat like 3 of these per sitting.

back in the early NE colonies lobster was so plentiful it was considered a trash fish that was fed to slaves and prisoners. also lobsters can live like a hundred years, and in those days before overfishing was even possible lobsters were the size of fucking dogs.

during the bleak long winters they sometimes had to resort to eating lobster to survive. could you imagine the house just full of lobster steam for months, getting your already freezing hands wet every day cracking shells and pulling that mushy rubbery meat, day in and day out.

And now we pee a little if we find a 20lb lobster for under $150

it is true, the settlers of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies wrote about disliking lobster during winter, and because they were so cheap they were fed to the poor and incarcerated.

they also ate lobster at the first Thanksgibbon along with lots of other seafood and durr

Lobster ain't cheap outside the northeast. If you wanna spend 80 bucks just for a tiny amount of meat and not even bother with the claws and legs, be my guest.

Yeah sure I’m sure it’s expensive to ship a live American lobster to your fucking kibbutz. $12 to $15 a pound here. Then you have Local lobster species all over the world.

Every time I visit my family in New England they insist we get lobster. Lobster is tasty and all but having to crack them open and make a mess at the dinner table only to suckle a little bit of meat from its leg is annoying. I always inevitably get a "juicy" one too so its piss and sea water flies all around and on my clothes as I break it apart. I'd rather just get a lobster roll from a shack on the shore.

The british had weird hangups about "poor people food".
Salmon was free and could be caught in any river, so it was for filthy poors too.

The settlers were too embarassed to eat lobster because it would literally just wash up on the beach with the tide, making it cheap and plentiful. But later, when aristocrats started visiting the colonies for fun, lobster became an expensive delicacy for them because they had to spend so much mony going back and forth across the ocean to get it. This created a market for lobster back home on the island, so a lobster canning industry popped up in the colonies to supply it. People are weird.
