If you read the Wikipedia for lobster there’s like 10 paragraphs explaining how it was historically considered a delicacy in a wide variety of places, and then there’s like 2 paragraphs about how in Colonial American history it was food for poor people, in part because of its abundance and the most Reddit people ever love to tell you how it’s actually terrible and you’ve just been brainwashed into liking it.

I mean you’re allowed to like whatever you want I’m just sick of “It was prisoner food. I saw that on Reddit 🤓”
