In Barbados, the fisherman come to the rich folks' houses to sell their daily
catch of lobster. The lobster itself is extremely cheap, it's the beach
house in Barbados that will tend to make this meal a tad expensive. You
can buy lobster at your local supermarket, but our experience with this
type of thing has not been encouraging. The proletariat server asked us if
we wanted him to punch some holes in the bag so our lobster could breath.
. . 2 live lobsters (approximately
4 pounds each:) Butter
Meat is always much tastier when the animal is slaughtered while experiencing
the most intense terror of its life. So put a good 2.5 liters of water
(per lobster) to boil and go torture your lobster (be creative).
When the water is boiling, put the lobsters in tail first. If You'do it this
way you get to watch its expression. While the lobsters are boiling, melt
some butter in a pan and make two little dipping dishes for yourself and your
dinner companion (you may add garlic to this butter depending on what you
plans are for after dinner).
When the lobster has boiled for about ten minutes (1.5 minutes per pound),
remove them from the water and put them on separate plates. Put the dipping
dish on the same plate and serve.
Note: There are special utensils for eating lobster, but it is much more interesting
to see how your dinner companion manages without them.
Serves 2 people who wear fur and eat lobster. |
