Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

Seems to be very common experience among Asians. My mum loves it and I can't stand it, and I can't imagine myself liking the vile gourd when I grow old.

The funny thing is, I might grow to like it and I vehemently and irrationally hate that idea.
