Binging with Babish: Lobster Scrambled Eggs from Seinfeld

[@kster809]

Fun fact! The lobster re-started its twitching after you sprinkled the salt on because it activates the nerves, causing the muscles to use stored energy to move! This isn't just a lobster thing, any meat that is very fresh (like the freshly killed lobster) will react to salt in this way. The molecules that act as energy stores in the muscles break down over time, which is why supermarket meat doesn't twitch when you add salt. Bonus fact: The twitching on the fire is from the muscle tissue contracting as it cooks.

[@firechaser4095]

Not precisely “fun”, but a really cool fact nontheless!

[@gtf234]

@@firechaser4095 Additionally, lobsters don't have brains, like most arthropods, they have simpler, decentralized nervous systems. Clusters of nerves called ganglia control each section independently- the head isn't making the legs and tail move. So the thorax and abdomen do not care or even know about the head being bisected and will continue doing their respective things until the physical damage takes it toll.

With the lobster’s supernatural clinging to life, this may be the first dish where some of the flavors actually get to know each other.

[@gtf234]

That's a decentralized nervous system in action- they don't have brains, so what he's describing by bisecting the head is not entirely accurate, but close enough. Instead each segment of their body has clusters of nerves called ganglia that control a chunk of it, and they function independently of each other. So even when he bisected the head, the thorax and abdomen neither know about that, nor care, and continue to do their own things until the physical damage takes its toll. This is found is insects too, a decapitated locust's arms will continue trying do move food up to where the mouth should be.

[@jovialjovian598]

That happens with extremely fresh fish a lot, and famously also with chickens. The animal is dead, but the muscles haven't gotten the memo because the brain can't sent it anymore (since it's dead). Any energy added can cause the systems to convulse. I've seen a fish filet, fully cut away from the rest of the fish, try to jump off the table when salt was sprinkled on it. The salt caused the muscles to release stored energy that was still in there from when the fish was alive, since it was so fresh.

[@defender2222]

I've seen it with chickens... like when we raised them for school and one parent killed the first one and freaked out... and threw it at the kindergartners who were having recess next door.

[@gtf234]

Additionally, Lobsters, and most arthropods, don't have brains per se- they have much simpler, decentralized nervous systems. Clusters of nerves independently control sections of the body. So the abdomen or thorax neither know about nor care about what is happening to the head, even if the physical damage was fatal to the creature as a whole. Similarly a locust can lose its head entirely, but the arms will continue trying to move food to where the mouth used to be to keep feeding.

Just wanna take this opportunity to let would-be do-gooders know, you should NOT put a grocery store lobster back into the ocean. A KZbinr who named his pet lobster “Leon” and whom you can find videos of same here, candidly recorded a grocery store lobster’s journey from grocer to home aquarium. Along the way, we all discovered that Leon’s claws took weeks to fully recover from the bands, and at least days before he could work up the strength to open and close them (barely). Releasing Leon back into the ocean straight from market would have been a death sentence, as it is unlikely he would’ve been able to hunt, much less defend himself with the trauma that being bound had inflicted. The best thing you can do if you don’t support the sale of live lobsters is not buy them, but please do not condemn them to a slow, painful death by starvation or being hunted in a natural habitat they are no longer equipped to fend in. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

It's okay to feel like that, but it's important if you want to eat meat that you are comfortable with the process. The industrialisation of meat has not only made it excessively accessible, it's also removed a lot of the death aspect for the consumer. Too many people just avoid thinking about it when they eat meat when you should really respect the lives of the animals dying for food and acknowledge what's gone in to it. There's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian and meat is far from a necessary component for a meal. I'd recommend to anyone who eats meat to watch a few videos on the slaughtering of animals, and only eat meat if you're comfortable thinking about what's gone into it. I'm mentioning this to you now just because I feel it's important to perpetuate this perception towards meat. Wish you all the best

The constant begging the lobster to stay dead has me crying 😂😂

[@jeremyjasona]

I have never gotten lobster to make at home because I never knew how to prepare it! Love this! Obviously, I could have looked it up somewhere online, but it just wasn't ever a priority. Watching the new Babish video is ALWAYS a priority though! So I appreciate the detailed education on the process! I'm gonna get go me some fresh lobster sometime soon! :P

This is looking it up somewhere online.

[@jeremyjasona]

@@Risetosovengarde The video is definitely something that could be "looked up" but when you are simply watching because it is a Babish video (not because you were looking up this type of prep specifically) then you quite literally have NOT "looked it up."

I mostly found the lobster's refusal to accept that it was in fact dead funny (like 60% amused, 40% creeped out) but I feel like the live lobster bisection warranted a proper content warning.

[@QuinnGIn1080p]

I haven't made it all the way through the video yet so I don't know if Babish says this, but keep the rubber bands on the lobsters claws after dispatching it. It can still pinch you even though it's dead for a bit after. Take them off before cooking of course.

I will continue to politely request foods from the Homestar Runner universe. In addition, I will also request the different types of curry from Pokemon Sword and Shield. And also whatever from A Nero Wolfe Mystery.

[@RejectReef]

Well, I can tell you how to make Suudsu.

[@How-Do-I-Nezzy]

@@RejectReef Pure genius.

[@kerichowitt7795]

BABISH DID MAKE THIS ONE ALREADY. I KNEW IT. IN THE SIENFEILD SPECIAL PART 2

You may forgive yourself, but that lobster will never forget what you've done.

[@ph0tom0to32]

back to your roots on this episode. 10/10 best in recent memory.

[@jackmcd277]

Your videos are great no matter where you film or how determined your lobsters are, we love you ❤️

[@KingfisherTalkingPictures]

I think it’s worth understanding that often animals give their lives for our food, and we should honor them. Bravo for not turning the camera away, Andrew.

[@jasonhulett]

They didn't "give" their life, it was taken from them. You're not honoring the lobster by watching it get cut in half.

[@thegamingpigeon3216]

You haven't seen it all until you've been on a boat and watched a man skin and gut a catfish and throw the skinned corpse (with the head still on) back into the lake and it still somehow tries to swim away.

[@Tony-qe3fl]

At least you could’ve put a warning that you were about to show the whole thing.

[@karmagirl314]

Oh gods did we turn Babish into a 1 percenter?

[@spzaruba5089]

Neither the lobster or Babbish were prepared for that sequence.

[@bebejebe]

masterful editing with that prayer bead cut lol

[@15drasedrase]

Thank you for all you do Andrew ❤️ I hope this break helps you. You have been working so very hard for so long, no one can keep that going forever. We appreciate you, your energy, your hard work. And the team of course ❤️

That lobster was channeling his inner black knight. It was just a flesh wound.
