I have always had a problem with eating lobster. My problem isnt that 
they dont taste good because...mmmmmm...they taste GOOD. My problem has 
always been that they remind me of giant cockroaches. Every time I sit 
down to eat one, I cant help thinking of it as a cockroach of the sea. 
ICK. 

When I was a child, my family went on vacation to Maine. We kept 
stopping for lobster and my parents would always order me a lobster and 
then when I refused to eat it, they would order me a hamburger instead. 
They and my siblings would split the lobster they ordered for me and 
they would laugh and say, "Ok...more for us!" (for some reason, they 
never said that about lima beans and broccoli which they always made me 
eat) I cant think of lobster without thinking of that trip to Maine. 
Funny how we carry things with us like that. 

One thing I have always heard about cockroaches is that if you freeze 
them, they will come back to life when they thaw out. I always thought 
there was something just a little gross about that. Now it turns out 
that lobsters also can be frozen and then thawed. ICK. They are just 
like giant cockroaches of the sea. ICK!
