Think of lobsters and I think of summer - luxurious summer seafood salads with lobster, prawns, crab and much more. Growing up, lobsters were one of those things you only ever had on special occasions and at restaurants, it would often be one of the most expensive meals you could choose from. But lobsters have not always been the food of choice for people with a few extra pennies in their pocket. Did you know that prior to the 20th century, lobsters in parts of North American society were seen as the food for people living in poverty? In some areas of North America, servants were made to sign an agreement that they wouldn't eat lobster more than twice a week, so much was the disdain for the lobster by the wealthier classes.
