Do you love lobster? Well here’s a little uniquely American history on this (now) fancy crustacean :

Lobsters were so plentiful that Native Americans used them as fertilizer and bait for fishing in addition to a source of protein: they baked them covered with seaweed over hot rocks — arguably the origin the “New England Clambake” tradition ... Lobster were so plentiful, and LARGE and inexpensive in early America they were primary food sources for “lower level” people like: prisoners, apprentices and enslaved people of African heritage who were the most influential group that changed the trajectory of lobster’s role in American foodways which helped establish it on the highest tier of fine dining in along the eastern seaboard (esp. Boston and NYC)…

…By the 1880s lobster became so popular among the elite class and prices started to rise…

while I may not have many pics of actual lobsters in my phone (and therefore in the curated carousel line up above), notice that i do have pics of places where I one day can perhaps go GET some lobsta when the budget permits… Since time-traveling back to when lobster was in abudance and INEXPENSIVE ain’t a viable option 😆 ..
