“ The uninitiated are sometimes balked by the appearance of a lobster at table. They may take comfort from the little cannibal who, threading his way through the jungle one day at his mother’s side, saw a strange object flying overhead. ‘Ma, what’s that?’ he quavered. ‘Don’t worry, sonny,’ said Ma. ‘It’s an airplane. Airplanes are pretty much like lobsters. There’s an awful lot you have to throw away, but the insides are delicious.’ ”
