For some reason seeing this commercial for Julia and Julie makes me relive of this memory I have alot of my father throwing lobsters into an enormous pot of boiling water. The sound of them clawing at the pot to get out is still etched in my brain like it was yesterday. Consequently I've never ever been able to eat any lobster from the shell. I've barely managed to be able to force even the smallest piece of lobster in my mouth w/o that exact memory coming back to me.
For some reason it's different that making clams or steamers I guess because they don't try to fight back and Disney hasn't made one into a lasting character. Even growing up w/a beach house and a huge family that regularly went 'clamming' and having huge clambakes never made me want to eat lobster. I just cannot do it.
I guess if I had been a butcher I'd never want a steak but I'm not a butcher. I don't think I could ever bring myself to throw a live lobster into a boiling pot of water.....esp w/those little elastics on it's poor claws. Just imagine if they had voices and you had to hear them scream before you threw them in! **shudders**
