Who was the first person to eat a lobster?

Whoever it was, they had more courage than I’ll ever have.

For hundreds of years we’ve all been trained to know these large, insect-like crustaceans are great tasting (that, and the “buying lobsters means I’m rich” price, are what make them not look ugly). But think about the first person(s) who decided it’d be a good idea to boil one alive, rip it apart, scrape out the guts and then eat them:

“What in God’s name is that abomination scurrying around in our fishing net!?”

“It has got to be the ugliest, nastiest, creepiest, most alien looking creature I’ve ever scene.”

“Does it have eyes?”

“Can it talk?”

“Should we give it a name?”

“Are those whiskers?”

“Don’t know.”

“Let’s eat it.”
