Long John Silver’s Buttered Lobster Bites.

I love lobster. It was disgusting as a kid, then became a bit more appealing when (ahem) I actually TRIED it. And now? Now I love it.

I don’t eat it a lot, though, what with the high price. But once in a while I go out to eat with my parents and there’s a restaurant that serves it, so I graciously accept their generosity. Aside from that? No lobster for Kevin.

Until today. Today I will go to Long John Silvers and order some of their Buttered Lobster Bites that I’ve seen advertised non-stop the past week. I will order them and I will eat them and I will hopefully love them.

If they don’t make me sick.

I’ll give you my impressions in the next post.

Update: No need to wait for another post. I can testify that I’ve eaten a sampling of the aforementioned Lobster Bites and can give you immediate feedback immediately, with no waiting.

They’re delicious.

I’m sorry, but it’s true. When I took my first bite I said to myself, “Wow. These are actually good! REALLY good!” And then I snarfed down the whole bucketful. (Note: A bucket is about the size of a large woman’s thimble, or perhaps a cup’s worth.)

The taste and texture are true to lobsterness of the past, with the exception of the crunchy, buttery exterior. But even that is pretty good. So yesterday I ordered a second bucket of Buttered Lobster Bites and, complimented with a Kraft Alfredo Pasta mix, had myself a delicious delicacy of lobster and alfredo (and Gatorade Ice, if you must know…)

Oh yes. I’m the pinnacle of physical perfection, I am.

But seriously, they’re good. And they’re gonna be gone any second now, so if you don’t want to wait another 6-8 months to give these a try, I strongly suggest you get past your initial disgust at the idea and buy a thimbleful today.
