<br>[/quote]<br><br>In fact!<br><br>In colonial times, lobsters were considered "poverty food." They were harvested from tidal pools and served to children, to prisoners, and to indentured servants, who exchanged their passage to America for seven years of service to their sponsors. In Massachusetts, some of the servants finally rebelled. They had it put into their contracts that they would not be forced to eat lobster more than three times a week. Lobsters could be found piled 2 feet high on the beach after a storm, and 30-40 pounders weren't uncommon.<br><br>Another bit of useless information. :
