Wikipedia tells us these things about the lobster....
They are animals, Arthropods, Crustaceans, Decapods and belong to the family Nephropidae.
Lobsters live in rocky, sandy,or muddy bottoms from the shoreline beyond the edge of the continental shelf. They are scavengers but also eat live fish, algae and eel-grass. Occasionally they will eat other lobsters, too.
An average adult weighs 1 1/2 to 2 lb. and is 9 inches long. The Guinness World Record for lobsters is 44.4 pounds and was caught in Nova Scotia.
Lobsters molt (shed their shells) 2-3 times per year while young, but only once a year or less when fully mature, about 4 to 7 years. After molting, the lobster, with their new soft shells, are very vulnerable and often fall prey to other lobsters and large fish like cod. Many lobsters live to be 50 years old.
The first pair of the lobster's 10 legs are claws and are used for hunting and fighting. The other eight legs are used for walking.
Lobsters are generally solitary animals.....they only share a burrow for love making.
Lobsters have a greenish or brownish organ called the "tomalley" that acts as a liver and pancreas-----a toxin filter.
But, is all this information important???? And how does this stuff about lobsters relate to Saturday's Mini Forum Fest at Pepper's. Here goes......
What I and many others really want to know is, "How does one make a lobster......ROLL??"
