UK Banning Boiling Lobster

Not for me, but for a dinner companion. It was served alive. Brutal.

There are a limited number of laws - seven - that Jews are permitted to impose on non-Jews as badges of civilized existence. One of the seven is that you are forbidden to eat the flesh of an animal that is still alive. It is considered so fundamental that it is considered to be a foundation principle of civilized society.

Uh, oh, I admit to eating oysters.

Jews don’t know from oysters

Takes only a few seconds to put a knife through the head before placing in the water.

Just FYI, the chain ganglia (aka central nervous system) is more near the throat than the head

That is good info, to be more precise I just used the method shown in this video:

have you actually had lobster sushi prepped for you before? The lobster is killed before it’s diced up.

With a knife jab to the ‘brain’ which kills the lobster prior to preparing it to eat. The lobster’s extremities don’t know that it is dead, so they wave around a bit while the tail is devoured. When I was a poor law student, the great Los Angeles Japanese restaurant Tokyo Kaikan’s sushi chefs rotated from their location in Japan. They taught me how to eat sushi correctly and when high rollers would order ‘live’ lobster sushi, they would always snag a few bites for me on the sly. A bit creepy with the antennae waiving around, but quite delicious.

Again, the organ that controls the nervous system of a lobster is a ganglia (which is composed of multiple ganglion), none of which are in the head. A quick jab to the head of lobster is not where the “brain” is and will just make it blind, not be able to digest food, and lose control of the antennae. If you want to practice ikejime with lobster–it is the subesophageal ganglion and thoracic ganglia that you need to cut. They are on the bottom of the animal, what you would think of as the throat and stomach areas:

So when eating grasshoppers we have to kill each of them with two well aimed knife cuts? Dinner might be late ….
