derf5585 Posted March 17, 2006 #26 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Which taste just like Maponi worms.:D A heaping helping of Maponi worms from http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/746127/posts MOPANE WORM from http://www.nfi.org.za/inverts/BIG12/mopani.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted March 17, 2006 #27 Share Posted March 17, 2006 We weren't impressed with the lobster on our last cruise. You can get bigger and better ones up here in Montana and that's not saying much. LOL! I didn't know Montana grew lobsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfinger1954 Posted March 17, 2006 #28 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I've been on 3 cruises and they do NOT serve that yummy Maine lobstah---the ones with the delectable claw meat. They serve warm water 'rock' lobsters and the taste just doesn't compare. Kathy in Maine Well I'll still hightail it out of Maine Most lobster comes from the north-eastern coast of North America with the Canadian Maritimes and the U.S. state of Maine being the largest producers from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, in Maine, the claws on some of their lobsters are as big as the tails on my Carnival cruises. And in Maine you get the whole thing ! ! ;) My experience with Carnival lobsters has been about 50/50. Either quite delectable half the time (but smaller like rock lobsters) or rubbery on one hand and then total mush on the other hand. :( On the flip side, however, the Reuben sandwiches in the deli section of the Buffet are to die for. :) The fish'n'chips on the Glory upper deck of the Buffet were pretty good too, but I'm spoiled as the place I eat fisn'n'chips in Ventura Harbor @ Andreas they use Angel Shark which is beyond description it is so good (almost prefer it over lobster). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton Posted March 17, 2006 #31 Share Posted March 17, 2006 :rolleyes: Since you can have as many lobster tails as you want at dinner on formal night, what difference does it make what size they are? The taste is definitely different than that of a Maine lobster...but hey folks, it's just one little meal, y'know? Carnival has never said they serve MAINE lobster. Their written guarantee is "Lobster on every cruise!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankersbabe Posted March 17, 2006 #32 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Tanker : how do you know they taste like FEET LOL! Personally, never tasted feet..yuck.....but you know how feet stink when you have had dress shoes on all day? Translate that smell into a taste and pretend it's a conch fritter! BLAH! Oh my word. I can honestly still conjur up that horrible shock when I was expecting a whole other taste. I asked my husband to try one to make sure I hadn't gotten a bad one...nope! His was just as bad...poor guy nearly went into seizures trying to swallow it and not spit it out everywhere. Gack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hootsie Posted March 17, 2006 #33 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I didn't know Montana grew lobsters Uh, yea. I mean the lobsters shipped into our state are far better than the ones on the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted March 17, 2006 #34 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Uh, yea. I mean the lobsters shipped into our state are far better than the ones on the boat. There's a new topic for a thread. "Can you smuggle lobster aboard" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted March 17, 2006 #35 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Uh, yea. I mean the lobsters shipped into our state are far better than the ones on the boat. LMAO!!!! I have to agree, the lobster on the ship, for lobster snobs, is not very good. Hard enough to cook lobster for 2000 and get it right, but the lobster they start with isn't very good. The lobster in the supper club is actually very good and nothing like the lobster in the dining rooms (which are just very large shrimp :p) I've stopped getting lobster in the dining room... I'm always disappointed, so I stopped setting myself up :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucket_O_beer4john Posted March 17, 2006 #36 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I didn't know Montana grew lobsters They don't grow them - they raise them. Same ranches they raise the shrimp from that TV ad. I always felt sorry for the little shrimp when he was getting branded.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted March 17, 2006 #37 Share Posted March 17, 2006 . I always felt sorry for the little shrimp when he was getting branded.:( The American shrimping industry has also tried to fight back with a branding effort from http://www.slate.com/id/2134219/ branding the product and packaging it in smaller consumer pouches for the US consumer. from http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2005/12/08/stories/2005120801591200.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
