You’d be amazed at how much time we spent discussing and debating the different way’s of killing the lobsters. The way we showed you is much faster and more “humane” than boiling or freezing a lobster to death. The other problem is that we were pan broiling it and both pre-boiling or pre-freezing would have ruined the dish. We discussed starting with the lobster already cut up, but as you’re probably aware the ATK style is to show, in detail, how a dish should be prepared at home. The cutting of the lobster was too important to skip.

We know that some people are offended by the way it looks when we cut them up, especially the twitching that occurs well after they are dead. The problem is an even larger number of people like to eat lobster, and this being the most deliceous lobster recipe I’ve ever tried, we wanted to present it.

So, with me leading the way, we just went for it. It’s my own opinion that eating something your too disgusted to watch being prepared is the hight of hypocrisy. For those who don’t eat lobster and were turned off, what can I say other than we won’t do it again any time soon. Although we will break an egg from time to time.

I’m glad you liked the new science segments. We’ve been trying to come up with the right way to do science for years and then our producer discovered Odd-Todd. I think he’s a major talent.

Again, thanks for watching, adn I hope the rest of this season’s offerings don’t cause you such difficulty.
