Once they're dead, I'm all about the eating of them.
Once it comes to eating, I'm not interested anymore. I don't like lobster.

Pasta. Stir-fry w/o any meat. Pad thai w/o any meat. PB&J sandwich.
Cool. If a starving vegan showed up at my doorstep tonight, I have PB&J.
dw, what's poke salad?
It's a dish derived from pokeweed, once commonly eaten by the very poor in Deep South. Pokeweed is, well, a weed, and it's common enough that it doesn't have be cultivated, only gathered. Problem is that pokeweed is poisonous in raw form, and the toxin is pretty persistent in the leaves. The prevailing wisdom for years was that if you boiled the leaves, drained the water, added fresh water, reboiled, and drained, the poison would be extracted from the poke salad. However, health experts did some studies and found that twice-boiled still has a significant toxin load and should not be eaten. Thus, it is no longer a common food in the South.

Poke salad is now mainly remembered in "Poke Salad Annie," which Elvis covered.

I think you're projecting -- that's what beer does to live people, much less so with dead chickens.
She'd best not try the cola version of the recipe in China though.
Unfortunately I get a mild reaction to shrimp, so lobster is probably off the menu as well -- but I haven't bothered to try any, since what's the point without butter, anyway?
Grilled lobster can be quite good with non-buttery sauces. But probably not so good as to be worth an allergic reaction if you have them to other shellfish.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lobster salad sandwiches are the classic casual summer celebration lunch meal in my family. No butter there, but sweet, sweet mayo.

One of the two best sandwiches of my life was a chopped lobster sandwich at a faux outdoor cafe in Vegas' Aladdin hotel mall.

Interesting, random food facts:
Poke: poisonous
Rhubarb: thought to be entirely poisonous unless cooked, now known that only the leaves are poision
Almonds: Originally poisonous, but a mutation created a non-poisonous variety that is the mother of all modern almonds

OK, this is a random question: I am feeling retroactively cheap about the wedding gift I gave for the wedding I was in back in June. It's too late to worry about it, right?
