Food Etiquette: Eating Lobster.
Posted on July 23rd, 2008 by admin
Eating lobster is a hands-on process.
- Start by breaking off the legs. Hold it by the back and gently peel off the legs. Don’t throw them away as there are nice bits of meat in it.
- Tear off the claws at the first joint with a gentle twisting motion.
- Use a nutcracker to break off the tip of the claws.
- Push the meat with the forefinger through the largest hole.
- Break off the inedible parts and put aside. That would be the antennas and beak.
- Grab the tail portion with one hand and the back with the other. Twist the two apart.
- Peel off the tip of the tail and remove the digestive track before eating the meat.
- The “roe” (unfertilized eggs) can be eaten, but this is normally done by a brave few.
