It's just an excuse to soak up butter in an edible sponge.

That’s how I feel whenever I’m around friends who are cracking open sea-insect and slurping up the slimy goop inside.

“Can’t believe you don’t eat lobster. You’re really missing out.”

“No, I’m really not.”

I'd say fresh bread is superior for that, plus then you don't need to eat ocean bugs

I don’t really care too much about what anything eats, but I have had my fill. I went to a company event years ago and they were bringing in lobster from the Newfoundland or somewhere. They must have budgeted 6 lobsters per person. Since that day, I have had no desire to eat any lobster again.

back to the dinner thing.

When I invite a friend to dinner, it's for dinner a bit of after dinner socializing, then GTFO .
If I invite someone over for the evening, that's different. Maybe she felt the same way.
dinner was just dinner. Dion just needs to be more clear with his invite.

Yeah I can't believe "steak or lobster" is an actual debate. It's probably my land-blubber prairie upbringing (and being an animal lover), but an issue I have with seafood in general is it often gets served to you in its original, living form. I find it bizarre and kinda creepy, I used to occasionally need liquid courage to get through it.

I love beef, but if it got served to me with a hoof still attached, I'd probably struggle.

So you've never had a T-bone steak or a bone in prime rib?

On one hand I do think it's way too expensive, and I get the whole seafloor insect angle...but then again then I'm not sure there are many things better than a seaside lunch with a beer and a really good lobster roll.

People are so weird about food. Know where it comes from, and eat it. Keep your hang ups to yourself.

Delicious! It's just a bone though, the exterior is gone. With a lot of seafood it basically looks the same as when it was alive. I've just always found it kinda weird, but again I think that partly speaks to being a born & raised landlocked prairie fellow.

What about if a girl asks me in for coffee, but I don't drink coffee that late because it keeps me up?

The next step is Christmas day where i'm having a large gathering at my place for dinner and she is going to help me cook the turkey. Something we did a few years ago.
Did you take the pill too soon and walk around with a rager all night and not realize?
