Seriously, think about the first time somebody tried it. “Look at this giant bug I found in the ocean! I bet it’s yummy!” Why would you ever want to eat one if you didn’t already know that it was edible? Same goes for shrimp; they’re like submersible grasshopper thingies until you take their heads and legs off.

Because it’s delicious and I’m on top of the food chain?

When you are going to starve to death you’ll try all kinds of things to stay alive.
If it moves, it might be food.

Fish Heads? Eat them up...yum?
I had a fish head on my plate in Kenya and sat there with a confused look on my face for a really long time. I didn’t have google so I couldn’t look up, “How the F do I eat a fish head?”It remained there...

Oh God I’d kill for a half-lobster right now with a sea of garlic butter nearby...

The idea of lobster as a delicacy is a fairly modern development. In most places, lobster was considered a trash food, fit only for the lower classes.

I’ve had the same thought about cheese - what sick bastard first looked into his/her goatskin canteen expecting to find milk but instead got a somewhat smelly, curdled glob, and decided “eh, what the heck, let’s eat that.” Whoever that caveman or cavewoman was, he/she is truly the best of us all.

Eh, that’s not far-fetched. Anybody that raised cows would know that’s what baby cows drank. If they also had kids, they would know what baby humans drank. After that it’s not too odd to think that someone would try drinking it.

I’d say the first human eaten lobster was less “Look at this giant bug I found in the ocean, I bet it’s yummy!” and more “I’m starving to death so I’m going to eat this thing...oh damn, this is pretty good!”
I wouldn’t eat them when I was a kid because I liked lobsters as animals lol.

It used to be frowned upon to feed lobster to prisoners, because it was considered cruel and unusual. A couple early marketing geniuses 100 years ago succeeded in changing its perception from poor people garbage food to fine dining. The same thing has been done to diamonds. A complete marketing success story of an otherwise looked-over product.

Well, Rainbow you can also let people know that the lobster resides in the same class as the cockroach. That made my friend think twice when looking at seafood. :P

Aren’t all crustaceans very closely related to various bugs? I mean, I don’t understand why we don’t call them bugs.

Sadly, it makes more sense than sausage... Whoever thought hey let’s fill an animal’s intestines with it’s own meat. Or why do we eat mushrooms? They’re a fungus. Or why do we consume the milk meant to nourish the young of other species. Or why do we bother cooking at all?

Years back, our local morning DJ’s had Martha Stewart on. They were talking about lobster. Martha was saying back in the early 1800's, if you signed up as an indentured servant (kinda like a slave with an out date) in your contract, one of the clauses was the max amount of times you would get served lobster a week.
I want to know how it went from a food you fed slaves-to something fancy + expensive.

You can call them that. You wouldn’t be wrong. :P
I personally don’t go crazy with seafood, particularly the sea animals that eat the detritus or leftover stuff on the sea floor from other animals as their main diet.

What’s probably the better question is why don’t we eat grasshoppers? Loads of protein, nice crunchy exterior like deep-fried breaded chicken. But for some reason we think it’s icky.
What baffles me more is berries and mushrooms. Thought pattern of Mr Cave Man:
‘Barry ate that little red thing last week and started foaming at the mouth and convulsing and took a whole day to die, but i’m going to try this different little red thing and maybe i’ll die too, maybe it’ll be tasty’
Mental.
