Short and sweet. We came here for one night before heading into Canada. We needed to do our laundry, get propane, dump our black tank (poop tank), fill our water tank, and top off our gas tanks in Wally and Jethro.
This KOA boasts a restaurant! It’s really a trailer you order in. They give your order to Alex and he cooks your meal outside. It’s your basic food truck with about 4 items on the menu. Only one of which I could eat, and it was delicious.
This time Zoom Zoom decided he would order a whole lobster. The price was $23.00. So inexpensive! Zoom Zoom has never eaten a whole lobster before. The plate he had had directions on the outer rim, they were of no use! He started with the claws. This is funny because we had a big debate over whether there was meat in the claws or not. Zoom Zoom thought he was supposed to suck on the claws and suck out the “juice”. I thought there was meat in the claws. Drum roll…there is meat. It looked delicious! He ended up needing a “cracker” because the claws are extremely hard. Now comes the GROSS part. Zoom Zoom was ready to eat the tail. He tried to break the tail off from the body. It was so nasty. Instead of the tail breaking off cleanly, the insides came out too. This lobster was a carnivore! It liked sea urchins, crabs, clams, mussels and sometimes it even became a Jeffrey Dahmer! There was a long piece of orange colored “poop” and a lot of green liquid stuff. The green liquid spilled out and over the tail. <insert vomit sounds> Bless Zoom Zoom’s heart. He did not give up. He got some paper towels. Used those to wipe the lobster guts and then carried on eating the tail. I’m the curious sort and have done a bit of research. The orange colored “poop” was eggs! Zoom Zoom had a female lobster. The green stuff was the lobster’s tummy juices, equivalent to our pancreas and liver. Some people eat this as a delicacy and like Zoom Zoom, some avoid it. Zoom Zoom still had the legs to suck out. He decided to forgo them. He is going to stick with the lobster rolls from now on.
Me, I had chicken salad. Zoom Zoom got my croissant.
