Well it looked, and tasted, like it. What is "surimi"?
It wasn't in the shell of course, in a sandwich that wouldn't work. Too crunchy I'd think.
I've had real lobster in the shell in NYC, in a restaurant, on company expenses. Wonderful it was. I can't remember the exact price, but I think it was less than $20, which I don't consider unreasonable. This was nearly 10 years ago. Have prices in NY risen much in this period? They havn't much in London. What I do remember was the manager in charge at the time not letting me order bottles of Meursault at $20 a pop (quite cheap really) on expenses, so I had to pay for them myself. Essential accompaniment to a proper Maine lobster, which is not something you can experience every day if you live in London, IME. It deserves a decent wine. Then discovering on my return to London that I wasn't on his expense bill at all, and that the manager whose bill I was using would have waved it through. bah, humbug and all that:) Still, I got my lobster and my Meursault, and I was only down $40, much less than I saved by living in NY for 2 weeks on expenses.
