Here in the states there is a chain called Red Lobster and every spring is "Lobsterfest". So for 8 weeks I drank Carnation VHC while watching 4 commercials per hour of someone dunking lobster tails in drawn butter. My first big meal after treatment involved said lobster tails. Couldn't taste them but it was really more about revenge for their torment.

Contrary to popular belief, revenge is a dish best served with little ears of corn, snow crab and drawn butter.
