My favourite lobster is Cantonese - if done well. I like shrimp a lot more ways
than I like lobster.

Well, yeah. Like the difference between grain-fed beef and grass-fed beef.

Not being a globe-trotter I was letting my provincialism show through. If the
tree huggers and agenda mongers respected all of their own proposed
restrictions they would likely starve or at the very least be forced to subsist
on a very uninteresting diet.
