Never had it Ammi. But like carrots so I would.

[Kazanne]

I dont eat lobsters, so have no idea what goes well with it.

[bots]

Lobster is divine. I will have it with any side dish

[Benjamin]

Can’t say I’ve had it with carrots. But lobster Thermidor is divine.

[Ammi]

…carrots was a no for Jordan with Lobster Thermidor but a yes for mayonnaise with his pot noodle…:laugh:…

[bots]

i've had lobster most often in Chinese restaurants, not a single carrot in sight :laugh:

…see, I’ve had carrots most often in Chinese restaurants…(…sliced or shaved very thinly is very nice…)…not a single lobster in sight…we’re so similar but….different…

Dont they boil the lobster alive?

Not surprised that ghastly snob keeps going on about it

Never had lobster
Did take a date once to an Italian restaurant and she ordered lobster
This full lobster came out with a massive amount of mussels
They gave a child’s bib and a pair of claw crackers
Her first attempt saw sauce fly up on her top that was not covered by the bib

[thesheriff443]

Now and again il eat a carrot raw and I love carrot cake

I've never had lobster thermidor, but if I did I don't think I'd be against having carrots with them.

[MTVN]

Never had it but I'm intrigued now

Can I get it at Wetherspoons?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Lobster Thermador for all my life has been used by comedians to indicate that you are posh

Its a joke meal and used ironically in skits

That is lost on Tory boy Henry

:facepalm:

…I just googled the menu at our local town one…(…there must be different menus for different branches in the chain…)…ours do a Haddock fillet and haddock is quite a posh thing…the more up market cod, maybe…?..no mention of carrots, though…

[Niamh.]

never even heard of a lobster thermidor before now

[bots]

thermidor refers to the sauce which i don't think is necessary at all

[ebandit]

...........only eaten lobster once.............when i was lucky enough to catch one fishing off blyth pier

would sooner have fish fingers with a 'lil ketchup

...........i like henry but his privileged position is an insult to poor people everywhere

I think thats banned now,but you can bet some still do it.:wavey:

I know you're vegetarian anyway Kaz ,but I actually hate how they boil Lobsters alive for food .... it's worse than what they do with other animals.

I think it's kinder to freeze them first ...then boil them. I know it's morbid to think about, but I would rather freeze to death than boil to death. One would be falling asleep and the other would be excruciating pain .

[Vanessa]

Never had lobster. So no idea what goes with it.

[rusticgal]

I had lobster when I was in America....cant see carrots being a suitable side dish....but then I am not a lover of carrots.

[Northern Monkey]

Yes! But i never have lobster thermidor with my carrots.


There is, however, no mention of carrots here:

Only a ‘green salad’. You can have chips with it though.
