Yup that's the one. According to the cashier it's mostly little kids that want them and then get pissed when their parents dont buy them.

As if horrible accidents don't happen at all ages. Alcohol is an acceptable drug in our society and will always be the cause of much death. Until that changes which it never will.

Here is the lobster stew recipe. I'm trying to read it and condense to a recipe...
Steam lobster with their backs turned downwards. After that. Pick the lobster over a bowl so you can reserve all the liquid from the lobster.
As he says "save every part part of the hot lobsters except the shells, the colon, and the stomach"
The proportion onf meat and liquid should be 50:50.
Sautee the tamale in equal quantity of butter. 7 minutes. Then add the lobster meat, blood, and juice. Cook for 10 minutes.
Gently add some cream and simmer very gently.
Cool and allow to sit for a day if you can for according to him "for every hour that passes increases the flavor, not arithmetic, but Im geometric progression"

The guy was a poet. Its a really fun read. Things arent really in a recipe format... he just sort of writes about things and explains how to make them.

See if you can find a copy of Robert tristam coffins book. 1st edition is called "mainstays of maine" and the reprinting was renamed "maine cooking: old time secrets"
One of my favorite old regional cookbooks. Has the most legit recipe for lobster stew of all time.
