Do you eat lobster or crab email this discussion to a friend?

Went to dinner last night with my husband, I ordered crab legs and shrimp, he ordered shrimp and steak.

He refuses to even try crab or lobster because they are 'too much work'. I love both of them and the work involved in eating them gives me time to savor the flavor and enjoy my food.

So do you avoid eating a food because it is too much work or is the taste worth the work to you? How do crab and lobster rank on your list of foods?

I both like the crabs and lobster.Maybe I must say I like seafood at all.
You asked if I will avoid eating a food because it is too much work or not.My answer is not.If I love a food,even it must have much work,I also like eating them.As you said,It is the taste worth the work to me.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6721)   ranked 38 out of 5,440 in eating  1 year ago

Yup, the taste makes the work worth it.

My hubby seems to be in the minority on this.

I love lobster and crab, but I prefer crab. My boyfriend is allergic to shell fish, cannot even eat in a restaurant that serves it because of cross contamination so I rarely get to eat it anymore (and I live near the beach)... aaagh! Now I am craving crabs... I should have never come into this post.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6721)   ranked 38 out of 5,440 in eating  1 year ago

It sounds like you need a girl's night out. Go ahead and take one and enjoy your crab...everyone deserves a break.

If he is severely allergic, you must be careful. I guess that Red Lobster is not on your hit list.

Thanks

I love Red Lobster, but he can't even go in and he starts to wheez. You're right, I am going to have to have a girls night out, it has been a while LOL!

The one food that I don't like to eat is toasted sandwiches. I don't like it because of the mess the crumbs creates on my lips. I am however getting used to it. I love crab and lobster. I usually have these foods when I am at a large gathering so it is not too hard to eat. The meat has already been taken out so I can easily enjoy.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6721)   ranked 38 out of 5,440 in eating  1 year ago

Well, I guess you are sort of agree with my husband, letting someone else do the work. If I went to a party like that, I would definitely chow down.

Yes, crumbs on the lips, can be a real pain especially if you have chapped lips. I think that is why I don't like seeded buns..the make a mess.

I do love to eat crab no matter how much work it would cost me just to eat it. Crabs is my most favorite food. It may hard to eat but it is so delicious and yummy. I guessed many people don't eat crabs or lobster because it is hard to eat and don't want to work for it but for me it is worth it. happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6721)   ranked 38 out of 5,440 in eating  1 year ago

Exactly, I don't mind the work at all, I know the rewards are worth it.

And I think if you go out to eat..they are definitely healthier then most things.

Hi, I love crabs. Once in a while I will make a spaghetti sauce with crabs in it, it is so delicious. A little messy but well worth it. Gee it's been a while since I've had it now I am going to have to buy some crabs.



myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6721)   ranked 38 out of 5,440 in eating  1 year ago

So you put the crab in without shelling it...it sound extremely messy..but real good.

Thanks

I eat lobster and crab as often as my wife and my budget will allow. I am not a big fan of eating backfin crabmeat, but I will sit down and attempt to eat my weight in crab legs!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6721)   ranked 38 out of 5,440 in eating  1 year ago

What is backfin crabmeat. Eat my weight in crab leg ..what a delicious thought.

Thanks.

He deb! I love lobster too, but I am like your husband!
I refuse to order lobster because I can't deal with it!
I don't have the patience to fight with my food before I eat
it! I'm just not good at cracking those shells! My Mom is
78 and she is a Pro! I will only order Lobster Tails and
you know they are sooooooo expensive! So, I would rather
do without it then to fight with it! My boyfriend loves
crab legs and he doesn't mind messing with them either. I'm
with your husband and I order shrimp if I want seafood. I
know it's pathetic!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6721)   ranked 38 out of 5,440 in eating  1 year ago

Wow, you mean there are easier ways to do it? Can't you get Mom to teach you?

Yes, My husband also consider the tale for dinner, but it would have cost more then the 2 of our dinners together.



I guess you are another one for my husband!

I will not to refuse to eat such kind of foods for they really taste good.Maybe there are much work to do when you are eating them,but if I have enough time,I will do it.Imagine when you are enjoying dinner with your family,to savor the flavor is a nice thing.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6721)   ranked 38 out of 5,440 in eating  1 year ago

Exactly, getting the crab out of the shell leaves a great deal of time for conversation and watching that look of delight on peoples face as they eat their food is a wonderful thing as well

Hello Debs_place

I'm in agreement with your husband. I do like crab legs, but I often bypass them due to the work, the possible injury, and the mess. I generally also don't eat oranges because of the mess involved.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6721)   ranked 38 out of 5,440 in eating  1 year ago

Wow, I never thought I could injure myself eating crab. Of course I did have to get stitches due to cutting a pre-sliced bagel and we won't go into the brownie disaster.

Oh forget it...I will eat lobster and crab in spite of the chance of injury.

I agree...I never peel oranges, I slice them in 1/8's and eat them that way.
