peko: oi wassup. Galbo is amazing isn’t it. I don’t know abt whether it’s around & abt in england, reckon it is but you’ll have to really source it out or get them from japanese grocers online or in some remote bit of the country.

like garret, i agree lobster and butter is the queen-way of eating it (no reference to the Queen) because it’s so simple and good. Plus the butter really takes out the saltiness but mild sweetness of lobster flesh. Reminds me of just pulling a lobster fresh out of the sea, cooking it in the kitchen of the boat and eating it after dipping it in some good West Country butter. The Chinese, however, like having lobster with something a little sweet. Often with a fruit cocktail and sweetened mayonnaise. It’s quite refreshing as a salad and is, in my humble opinion, a good pairing for lobster. Lobster is great in lobster bisques as well and is so good in a lot of other things.

Nonetheless, if you’re a seafood purist, I love it best having seafood straightup - neat.

I envy you. I am a fruit fanatic too. Unfortunately if I ate 7-8 pieces of fruit a day here in Kyoto, I would have to sell my clothes and shoes — or maybe sell my precious, baby beagle girl. She’s too cute and precious for that!

I like the looks of this recipe. Fruit and lobster intrigues me. I like the lime action. I think I like the basil action.

However, I wonder if the fruit can really hold it’s against lobster or not bowl it over. I have had lobster so many ways and in quite a few different countries. While it was all fine and good, I have never had it in a way, that to me, equals Lobster and Butter. To me, lobster was like ordained by God to be eaten with butter.

Even lobster in Japanese cuisine, like lobster sashimi — REALLY expensive. While it is yummy, it never blows me away like Lobster and Butter.

I am interested to know what you think — and to taste this dish!

Many congrats on your fine aprons! You gals just look like perfect ‘foodie’ ‘drinkers’! My kind of gals!!

GALBO is one of my all time convenience store favs — not exactly ‘fine’ junk food, but pretty good stuff. In honor of you Diva, I am going to the convenience store right now to get me some GALBO!

By the way, can you get GALBO in the UK?

Peko!

PS, thanks for the shout!
