Reconsider The Lobster

Why this creature is still so mysterious

All your lobster questions, answered. View this email in your browser Reconsider The Lobster In colonial times, lobster was routinely served to prisoners. It was called "the cockroach of the sea." So what changed? On today's show, we're bringing you an episode from our friends at Gastropod, a podcast that looks at food through the lens of science and history. They take a deep dive into the fascinating history, and biology, of the lobster. (Like, why is it so difficult to figure out a lobster's age and how it reproduces?) All your lobster questions — including ones you didn't even know you had — will be answered.  Listen to this week's Sporkful episode through our website, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.
