This tickled my funny bone... I had to read it a couple of times to be sure it wasn't really "lobster poo." I'm still unsure...

Oh, yes, the recall is real. But anything being sold as "Lobster Poo," well... ummm... the mental image is, ummm...

#4: google this

I did. But... I subscribe to email alerts whenever anything is recalled, and until today all the alerts were serious-looking. Suddenly, the subject line says "...lobster poo..." and, well... I cracked up. It may be peanuts, but to label a product "Lobster Poo" is just plain hilarious! And, I love hilarity!

#5: But you never know now a days. It was hilarious.

Well, in some cultures, some kinds of poo are considered delicacies (or so I've heard). Maybe insect poo or some such. Some people eat insects, after all, so... And, I do gotta admit that a bag of peanuts labeled "Lobster Poo" is an attention-getter...

Still, you gotta wonder... if someone you know came home from Maine and brought you a gift of "Lobster Poo," would you even think of eating it???? I doubt that I would...

I can see it now: you're sitting at your desk at work munching on these "peanuts," and a co-worker stops by and asks, "What are you eating?" And you mumble, "Lobster Poo."

Is it likely your co-worker would avoid you the next time there's a gathering at the water-cooler? At the very least, you'd know why you were getting strange looks... :-)

At least they'd be less inclined to rob your candy jar.

And then there's kopi luwak, the coffee made from beans that have been eaten by Asian palm civet cats, excreted, washed, and so on. It costs anywhere from $100 to a Vietnamese version at $3000 per pound. (Supposedly the washing and roasting take care of any bacteria from the cats' guts, but I'll pass on this, no pun intended-maybe.) P.S.-thanks for the FR.

    I've heard of that... and, as much as I love coffee, I'll pass on that, too!

    Thanks for stopping by! How come you're not blue?

          James needs to click the link in the invitation email, and physically accept the FR... Or do it from the Friends button on the front page. It's not automatic.

          Authors/Seeders always appear white, even when friends.

                            I must admit that, although I get many "recall notices" every day, I rarely even open the email. Most of the information of interest is in the subject line, and doesn't apply to me. But, this one, now, that caught my eye and got my attention!

                            Makes me wonder what that says about me...

                              What does Lobster Poo taste like anyway?

                              Snickers or MilkyWay? MilkyWay has the peanut warning too. What's up with that?

                              Hmmm... good question. If the lobster ate peanuts, maybe that is why the warning because the lobster poo would likely taste very pea-nutty. As for Milky Way, I never knew they had peanuts in them. Maybe the lobster ate Milky Ways and pooped peanuts?

                              They may have used the lobster poo to fertilized the peanut crop, which inturn was used to make the lobster poo.
