i will normally order at a restaurant either. why, especially if i enjoy lobster so much?
because they can be so messy. you might crack a lobster claw and end up squirting a dinner companion with water and lobster juice. they give you a lobster bib at a restaurant for good reason. they give you wet naps after your meal for a reason. this is not a dish to order on a first date, or if you are trying to impress someone. it is a dish better served at home, where you don't mind as much that it is messy.
i would rather have a lobster pie, lobster cocktail or a flavorful
