Recession? What recession? Pass the lobster, please.
The economy is in the crapper, we're all losing our jobs to the end of year budget slice-and-dice, and Christmas is going to be kind of depressing. You know that things are really bad when the price of lobster has dropped so much that it becomes recession-proof dining. Although, really, when you think about it, even at $10 a pound, it's cheaper to make lobster at home than go out for a mediocre burger at Applebee's, and at those prices, you can afford to get a little reckless with your ingredients and try something new. For instance, lobster bisque is the ultimate in luxury soups, but you can whip up a giant kettle of the stuff with the knock-off version of those Red Lobster cheese garlic biscuits and invite your friends over for a weeknight dinner party, all for under $20, and maybe save some of the lobster tail for a little lobster carbonara the next night. According to sources, these prices are going to adjust as demand pops back up, so don't wait too long!
