When You Want To Laugh....

Ummm, folks?

That's how you cook crab.

You toss it into a boiling pot of water (salt water is a nice touch) add clams, veggies, when it's done cooking, you crack open the shell and eat the meat.

Lots of garlic butter, a nice wine and you've got yourself one heck of a meal.

I think the problem with this video is that it is not really the way most people cook crabs.

As you said, most people toss them into a pot of boiling water and they die on immersion, much the way that people cook lobster.

Most people don't put in them in a pot of soup and wait for them to slowly die. At least no where I come from.

The whole reason for my post was because I made the instant connection with the boiling frog analogue, when I first saw it. I had never seen a crab sitting in stew, happily eating his corn, not aware that he was being prepared for dinner.

I saw us, in the same situation. We go about our everyday lives. Most happy and content, not aware of what is happening behind the scenes in the kitchen, as they prepare us as a meal for their enjoyment.

I think I placed this in the wrong forum, and I did not make the meaning of my post clear. So it went South fairly quickly.

I apologize to all of RN for that.
