My first lobsters, kind of mediocre. (infosec.pub)

Found my first lobsters the other day, I thought they were rocks spray-painted by forestry workers. We cooked the best one up with a little butter until slightly crisp on the outside. Honestly, I'm not sure why these are so highly regarded. The texture was similar to styrofoam, kind of mealy, not that different from Russula and the flavour was lacking. I'd still like to try them again, maybe it was just a subpar lobster.

I found some last fall and posted about it here on lemmy.

I agree with you about the taste and texture, both underwhelming. I imagine if I had a bunch to experiment with I could learn to make them tasty, but my first try wasn’t great and I’d rather eat button mushrooms from the store.

Yeah, I will definitely try them again but I agree buttons have better flavour than these. I did have chanterelles the night before so maybe my expectation were too high.
