Why is Lobster held in high regard when it is so similar to a cockroach?

Seriously, my parents love it, I despise it. You see in movies, television, magazines and more. Lobster is a high class meal (sometimes not, depending on locale and catch,) but if you think about it...

Imagine taking a large cockroach, placing it in a boiling pot of water, removing it from the pot, breaking open the exoskeleton (things you eat SHOULDN'T have exoskeletons,) and slurping down that meat. <<<This comment shall be trolled to hell.

You know what, I guess it's an acquired taste, but just like the question about who was the crazy first person to think drinking cow milk was a good idea, who decided to eat a lobster?

Any lobster eaters on the flood? Why do you enjoy this creature of the sea?

Commence one to two replies, then let the topic die. =(

Because it's good.

OP, -blam!- you for putting that image in my mind

  • 12.18.2012 12:19 AM PDT

Break down, every single one of you.

Lobster is similar in some ways to cockroaches, as it is to all other arthropods, but it is also different in many ways. The meat being one of them.

Remember Elk

I've never had lobster, but crayfish is pretty good. Although eating that is also pretty weird... Breaking off their claws and sucking out their juices from their arms? Breaking off their asses and then eating dat ass?

Lobster

Cockroach

Sorry OP, not seeing any similarity.

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

I don't like lobster, so I don't see it either.

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

Because it tastes good.

Cockroach

Not comparing looks, comparing the families they are associated with. Cockroaches come from the group Hexapoda. Lobsters come from the group Crustacea. Both of these groups belong to the group Myriapoda.

EDIT: Forgot to quote dangit!

Agreed. I hate seafood, it's like eating out of a sewer. The smell of a fish market makes me gag.

Agreed, only exception for me sadly is delicious fish n' chips.

Mmmm so good. And not that frozen store bought cardboard box crap, I mean the stuff you get at good ol' restaurants. Any other seafood makes me queasy. Even though I enjoy calamari, and baked clams, but only small portions, not a hefty meal.

I prefer crab over lobster. I just can't really get around lobster's odd taste.

Yes I have, when it flew into my tartar sauce when I was eating Fish n' Chips one evening.

A terrible life changing incident indeed

Lobster is actually fairly high in cholesterol, but other than that, it is quite healthy (as a lot of seafood is). It is very low in fat while containing a lot of protein. Cockroaches, on the other hand, are nutritious, but unsanitary. Anatomy-wise, there are quite a lot of differences between the two, and honestly, why should we not eat anything with an exoskeleton?

  • 12.18.2012 12:48 AM PDT

Lobster is my least favorite meat.

Yeah, but those damn tuna seem to like being harpooned more than swordies.

They heal 140 these days, they increased health and damage by a factor of 10 to allow for more variety.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Never had cockroach. They could be tasty..

Shouldn't it be like 1400000 hp now after that evolution of combat?

  • 12.18.2012 1:43 AM PDT

Actually they heal up to 800 lifepoints now depending on your constitution level (HP level).

Seriously.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

Is the OP saying I can make cockroaches taste as good as lobster?

Because lobster is -blam!- delicious, OP must have a really unrefined palette not to like it.

Prawns and shrimps are far, far more like cockroaches too. Lobster would be more akin to an armadillo.
