"Is that where the milk comes from?"
LOL I nearly spit up this Screwdriver all over my desk.
I used to work for a rather liberal company, Whole Foods Market (I know I know)
I ran the seafood dept there, and ran into all kinds of REALLY stupid animal consuming logic.
I can't tell you how many people complained about the lobster tank.
They would complain that it's cruel for them to sit in that saltwater tank crawling all over each other.
Have any of these people ever seen lobsters in the wild?? They climb all over each other in the wild too.
I especially love the lady that complained about the tank right after I wrapped up her lobster stuffed salmon roast
I even had a kid (raging liberal hippie wannabe) that worked in the dept. nearly get sick and run out of the area after witnessing me pull the claws and cut the tail off a live lobster.
(NEVER EVER "put them down" by putting a knife in the back. 1- if your boiling it whole that hole will let all the good flavor out. 2- As soon as they die.. they begin releasing toxins into their meat that taints the flavor.
The best way to "FEEL" like your being humain is to put them in the freezer for about 5 minutes before plopping them into the pot.
Personally I think it's a waste of time. Just plop them in and enjoy. They ARE the cockroach of the sea you know. Tasty cockroaches at that. (Not that I've tried the other variety for comparison.)
I did have one lady that was a bit of an anomaly.
This very sexy dark haired professional looking woman ordered a large cut of sushi grade yellowfin yuna.
As I was trimming the bloodline out, she asked what I was going to do with the bloodline (if you have never seen a tuna loin prior to being trimmed of its bloodline. It's a roughly 1"dia. fibrous chunk of.. well, blood, dark purple blood) I replied that it was going into the trash. She asked if she could have it now. I said sure, and handed it to her on a piece of waxpaper. She proceeded to consume the large chunk of blood. (Don't get me wrong I LOVE sushi and sushimi, but that's just disgusting)
Something about it made her even sexier than she was, while making me cringe all at the same time.
