I love secrets when they are happy secrets – like surprise engagements or babies. I don’t love secrets when they will eventually hurt someone. I would rather not be involved if it has to be a bad secret. I have a secret to share with you today. It’s really more of a confession, but I feel weird telling anyone. I’m not sure why because it’s perfectly normal.
I did one of the things on my 30 before 30 list and didn’t love it. I thought everything on that list would bring me so much joy and happiness – even the things I was a little afraid of. Not this one.
On our recent road trip up north, I ate Lobster in a nice restaurant right on a little harbor in Camden, Maine. I’ve had Lobster rolls before and bites of Justin’s fresh Lobster in Boston (but I was a little tipsy and didn’t remember if I liked it.) Turns out, I didn’t love the texture, I didn’t love the butter, I definitely didn’t love or even really like the tail. The claws were good, but I didn’t love them.
What a silly thing to keep a secret, right? I feel like I’m doing a disservice to the northeast by not being Lobster’s biggest fan.
Now that that is off my chest, I will share with you my favorite meal of the entire trip. I tried a Fried Clam Sandwich thanks to the recommendation of the old man sitting next to me in a bar in Portland. Justin ordered a Lobster Roll (that was amazing by the way.) It was from a little food stand in Kennebunkport. We will be back there. It was the best food we had all week.
Also, my apologies if you were looking for something a little juicier today. I don’t really have too many secrets 🙂 But you can go see what other people linked up for “share a secret” day.
I'm not a fan of lobster either (and I work for a lobster company) however I did enjoy lobster eggs benedict last weekend…I was so surprised!
Give me all your lobster. I love it. Yum.
Growing up in Maine, I <3 lobster. But, I'm a fan of the claws more than the tail. And fried clams but not as much as steamed clams, which most people think are gross 🙂
I would choose crab legs over lobster any day.
Not a lobster fan, either. I think, like you, it's because of the texture and that most people usually soak it in butter…bleck! I've heard lobster rolls are awesome, though, so I guess at some point I'll have to try them just to say I have…hopefully while traveling the East Coast like you (so jealous)!
I'm not a huge lobster fan, there are many other types of seafood I would order before lobster!
