yea I have a hard time saying lobster is overhyped, maybe if you have rubbery week old frozen lobster or something I could possibly see your point. But fresh lobster, when you pull the meat from the shell and its covered with those little white globules of fat, is ambrosia. Like I have a hard time blelieveing it is actually an organic natural thing and not some delicious lab grown exemplar of the perfect savory food.

I'm not thinking of anything!
I like when nerds are like "it's an ocean bug, heheh who would eat that. it used to be illegal to feed slaves lobster more than twice a week!", as though that's either an accurate statement for lobster today, or that it detracts from how awesome fresh atlantic lobster actually is. (And they can ship it worldwide fresh thanks to the magic of "ice".)

Guess you win, losers. Nobody will ever force you to eat lobster ever again.

Yes it does. But then you live somewhere else and you're like "hmm I can afford to live at (place that is not CT) but it sucks donkey balls even worse than CT". Now I won't move because of reasons, but I totally would like to so I can not pay a poo poo ton in rent.

Try living near a pill mill. Pfizer absolutely reeked. I don't know what the hell they were pumping into the atmosphere.

calling subs grinders

No one outside of NE can duplicate a grinder. It's not like it's difficult or relies on some regional magic ingredient. The only national chain that comes remotely close is Jersey Mike's.

This is also true of the black and white cookie. The Italian bakers in New London were artists, plain and simple. All attempts to replicate the B&W outside the northeast result in waxen, chemical garbage.

Devil's Hopyard. As I kid I thought the devil lived there and hopped around. I mean honestly, outside of a craft beer nerd, who knows what a Hopyard is? Even if I did know, then the devil owned this one, implying that he was uh, in the vicinity tending to the crops and securing a distribution deal?

The accent: it exists. It's really obvious if you leave and return after a number of years. I have just enough remaining that a coworker overheard me on the phone and it triggered a pattern match with a Moby interview he'd heard years before. He's from Darien. Independent confirmation.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

i was gonna make some crack about "new england: the deep south of the north" but from what i hear that's more Pennsylvania/Western NY

im "meh" on lobster but i feel like it's prolly just a freshness thing; dungeness crab was always way better to me but out here on the best coast the crab is naturally way fresher + cheaper because we actually fish it here whereas all lobster comes from the other side of the country so even when its shipped live and served fresh it's like fuckin' $30/lb and you just spend the ehole time thinking like "i could have bought three times as much crab for this bullshit price"

Fresh lobster is super good. Went up to Maine a few times and both had really fresh lobster as well as got to see a monster lobster some lobster fishermen had caught that was nearly three feet long, they brought it home to take photos and videos of before releasing it again(since the meat of one that size isn't good for eating anymore).

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
I enjoy lobster but I hate cooking it. Last time I had it was 2 years ago when I won 15lbs / 10 live adults from a work raffle. I had some people over for a lobstah suppah but they had to cook it. No such thing as a free lunch after all. I only steam them though, I don't bother with the fancy poo poo like stuffing and baking.

I'll eat mussels and clams on the half shell all day but lol if you think whole belly clams are somehow better than good quality clam strips

That's because nobody cares when you say "I'm from Framingham" or "I'm from Clinton."
