Was there a butter dip involved? Perhaps something was added to it.

When I was about 22, I spent 2 weeks in Cape Cod touring with a show.
I had never had lobster before and a close friend, also in the cast
and who grew up on the Cape, introduced me to it.

Without exaggeration, we spent days eating lobster for breakfast,
lunch and dinner. We had some fried belly clams along the way just for
fun.
