"There’s only one real way to eat a lobster, and that’s to boil water, drop your live lobster in headfirst while you scream “oh my god,” and slam the lid on top. Five minutes later is when it’s supposed to be done, but that seems suspiciously soon, and IT IS OH MY GOD the legs are still moving, so wait another five or seven minutes, and then it’s all nice and still, so you crack it open and dip its flesh into liquefied butter, and that is how you eat a lobster. Lobster rolls are for idiots."
