Yes, really !

I'm having a go.

I've got some carrots and onions cooking in a pan next door.

And ... on the terrace ... I've got 4 live lobsters.

The book says to kill them by stabbing them in the back of the head.

Eeuuwww!

I'm wondering whether to boil them instead.

Just going to check on the onions ...

you and I are going round later, ttfn, didn't you know?
Take them to the vet and have them euthanized, would you really want to hear them screaming in pain?

Well, the lobsters (with shells, but hacked up a bit) are simmering in a big pot, with some fish stock (bought), white wine, brandy, and the onions (well, shallots, actually), carrots, etc.

Hoping to have it with friends at the weekend, unless it's really poopy, in which case I'll be off down to Waitrose on Saturday morning.
Too late now Ratter, she's done the deed....
Now she tells me. I have a bit further to drive than do you boxy - nor does the chariot boast any heating. Where is the brasso?
£48 for a pot of soup?

The mind boggles..............Why soup?....would have been much nicer to just boil them and serve with loads of butter.

They didn't scream, RATTER ...

But they did keep on moving ... which was a bit disconcerting.

The claws even keep moving when you've hacked them off the body ... it's REALLY creepy !!
Shame on you :-(

LOL, pasta ...

There are 2 bottles of wine in there too.

I'm hoping it will serve a few of us.
Not exactly instant is it?

I could never do that.
I remember (the grey cells thank you for their exercise today jayne) going night fishing with my father about 50 years ago. We caught several flatties. The next day I was trying to fillet them but they kept flapping around the board! It never happens to James Martin on Saturday Kitchen

Aww, I know, RATTER ... I do feel bad.

But the recipe says "live" lobsters, so I ordered them live.

When I got them from the fishmonger, I named them Alice, Edward, Rosalie and Jasper after characters in the Twilight movie.

To be honest, I couldn't really tell them apart, so I don't know who I chopped up first.
I am just grateful you are not having 'Bambi' for the main course ;o)
Though it would have provided extra coat hangers for your guests.

Venison's dear, isn't it.







("deer")
Please don't say you are....
Question Author
No
:o)
What's wrong with eating venison?
Absolutely nothing, but jayne is cooking from the very freshest of ingredients and that terrace can't be all that big
Question Author
Shooting a deer on my balcony would make a bit of a mess.
