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.

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.
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.

Manioc is poisonous raw. Not that anyone here actually eats manoic regularly.
Of course, the way we know stuff is poisonous is that somebody died of it once.
