Nope...I was actually calling around for frozen tails. They both said they don't carry ANY lobster product.

Yeah, I had seen that. Probably an individual store policy, not corporate.

Reason #429 why I've come to hate Whole Paycheck. Since Wegmans opened, I can probably count my WF visits on one hand.

I say we have a Phillyblog Paintball event that coincidentally coincides with the next Hugs for Puppies event.

That's nuts, a lobster is like a giant spider.

Creatures like that are so simple they barely have brains. And, who cares if it's frozen to death, stabbed in the back of the head, or boiled? It's all pretty quick and the meaning of the thing's life is pretty much the same.

I used to love that story when I was up North.

Actually, I heard that lobsters are very closely related to cock roaches

.
That still isn't enough to dissuade me from eating their oh so tender flesh dipped in butter!

Bugs have six legs and spiders have eight, that's the rule.

Crustaceans

These animals belong to the phylum Arthropoda (which includes crustaceans, insects and spiders). Crustaceans include lobsters, crayfish, prawns,crabs, prawns, seed shrimps, amphipods, isopods, ostracods, barnacles, slaters, pill bugs. These animals are among the most widespread and diverse group of invertebrates, and the larger malacostracan crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, prawns) are economically valuable. Although originally aquatic, many crustaceans, such as slaters and beachhoppers, are adapted to life on land.

Protein is good for the body, and if it tastes good, wonderful. But, she sea spiders really cost as much as they do?

That's another topic.

Route 70 Cherry Hill, NJ. 5-10 minutes over the Ben Franklin Bridge.

Where the old Garden State Race Track was.
