*Update So I just realized that I forgot to add a link to David's music, woops my bad. I always forget at least one thing. Anyways here's his album "The Quickening" if you're curious: kzitem.info/news/bejne/poqGuIp6gqp7mXY Interestingly, I checked the younger David Leonard's youtube channel again and the album isn't listed in his playlists anymore. The album is now listed under "David Alan - Topic", and some comments have said that the playlist wasn't actually younger David's and that youtube just stuck it there on his channel since they have the same name. I suggested that might be the case in the video, but honestly I thought that couldn't possibly be right since it 's kind of wild to just stick a random video on someone else's channel and make it look like it belongs to them. But I guess I was wrong. I guess the two Davids just happen to have the same name and are unrelated. Anyways, I just thought I would share that. Have a merry Christmas and stay safe.

As a Mainer, I feel obligated to talk about whether or not we season lobster. The answer is, it's complicated. Maine Lobster isn't seasoned the way most other foods are seasoned. For a lobster boil, (lobster being boiled in a pot, then being served alongside butter sauce to dip, some people will add lemon or buttersauce to the water that the lobster is boiled in. Some others will add conventional spices and herbs, but traditionally it's just a bit of salt and butter. Once it's done being cooked you put it on a platter for everyone to dig into and enjoy. The only time Maine lobster is seasoned like other foods is usually when you are eating the tail meat in a fine dining setting. However I really dislike the way most places do Maine Lobster tail. As for David saying that Maine doesn't season our Lobster at all, he's he's dumbass who clearly has never had the fun of a lobster boil. Maine Lobster and Canadian Lobster are technically the same species, however the difference in environment causes a very noticeable change in taste. Honestly though if someone had me pay the price for a Maine Lobster for a Canadian Lobster, I'd freak out on them. That's like paying for Wagu Beef only to find out its local grocery store beef. Does it taste bad? No, not really, but it's not the same as the real thing. Considering Maine has the largest fishing industry in the entirety of the US, to pass off Canadian Lobster as Maine lobster is absolutely insulting to all of Maine. A reminder to all chefs, lobster and other crustaceans decompose very quickly after death, making the meat disgusting and poisonous depending on how long the lobster has been dead for. For the best tasting fresh lobster, keep them in a tank of saltwater that is filtered for bacteria and make sure to check on them daily. If one dies, it's meat will contaminate the water which all lobster are swimming through and eating the sediments of. Basically your fresh lobster will taste like the dead one real quick of you don't remove the dead lobster within a reasonable period. Also another tip, larger lobsters have tougher meat that tastes worse. Most people believe lobster are similar to other animals used for meat, in that the larger they are typically the better they taste. Well, lobster are the inverse. One at the lower end of the legal catching size will taste much better than one that is massive. Don't make the mistake of buying a very expensive, large lobster only to be disappointed with its flavor.

So Canadian lobster is just the lobster, and Maine lobster is Lobster ™. It also probably means that Maine lobster has different rules when it comes to selection and quality.

You can't fix an autocracy run by an idiot. Gordon Ramsay doesn't buy out the restaurant and gift it to a better owner. Gordon doesn't democratize them into a staff-run co-op or something. All he does is give a facelift and suggestions to asinine dictators who need a multi-year course on how to manage something. The saddest example is Momma Cherri Soul Food Shack, but for a different reason. Momma Cherri is a fantastic chef and a wonderful person, but she didn't have business acumen to run a for-profit. When her restaurant closed she went back to what she did before: making food for the poor. The only thing that Gordon could've done to help her was pay her debts and give her a business course or a helpful partner. KN was never gonna save restaurants. It exists to profit off of them for our entertainment.

Pretty sure Gordon said they were over charging for the lobster too since they were labeling it as “Maine”. While I’m no food expert, the Maine lobster’s popularity probably boosts its pricing or there might be a different handling process compared to Canadian. Plus the shipping and handling prices would for sure be different. Heck, if one is less available because of breeding or environmental factors, the scarcity could jack up the price too.

chef here, the lobsters would also taste different because of the food which lobsters would eat, also the cleanliness of water affects taste. A myriad of different factors affect the flavour of shellfish and molluscs. However the issue isn't the particular differences between the lobsters, the issue is a case of truth i menu. In the EU (not quoting US law cos god knows if there even is any) restaurants are under a legal obligation to be as truthful as possible when selling items to a customer. So whilst you could argue that if the menu says "Wexford Strawberries" even though the strawberries used in the dish are french and since they're both technically strawberries, and are the same product. The customer has been misled into purchasing a product which is not what they requested. Even if the lobsters from Canada were somehow atomically identical to the ones in Maine, the customers are paying for Maine lobster, not Canadian.

In the US it doesn't matter if what's being sold is a style of preparation. A Chinese restaurant isn't lying if it sells Beijing Duck that isn't literally from Beijing, because it's about the way the duck is cooked, the sauces, veggies, and the rice. Same goes for a myriad of foods including pretty much everything Sichuan considering Sichuan peppercorns are illegal to import on ecological grounds. But a store here also isn't lying if it sells Wiener Schnitzel that isn't literally from Vienna, basically all that matters is a flattened cutlet that by default is veal is being sold. You want a New York Pizza in California? That's flat with few toppings made of the high quality local ingredients in the ag state of California, not a pizza flown in from New York. Americans lack the umpteen trillion city state cultural dishes of Europe so there's little incentive to protect every minor variation of a generalizable dish. In fact the immigrant nation thing means there's demand for style of preparation that can't be answered by restricting things to local foods or even exact recipes like how it works in the EU. And in general you shouldn't expect food from the other side of the planet to be anything but a style of preparation unless you want low quality frozen/dried ingredients marked up to pay for travel and tariffs or the high demand of certain locations. For most people this is undesireable and not even intuitive to desire, so it's considered unreasonable and not reflected in US law the way it is in the EU. I don't know Maine lobster. But if it's about the style of preparation - the cooking time, the balance of herbs and butter or the mayo and celery or whatever, or as the style of cuisine with lobster rolls and such - Ramsey was 100% in the wrong by American conventions.

@@tovarischkrasnyjeshi Honestly, truth in advertising is more than important enough for a customer to determine whether or not they want to spend the extra couple bucks [or any money, for that matter] at that establishment. If you tell me the lobster comes from Canada, I would expect the lobster is sourced from Canada. If you tell me that a lobster roll is prepared in Maine style, that allows for a little more leeway regarding where the lobster actually came from, so long as it's prepared in a similar way that a Maine lobster roll would be prepared. Especially in today's economy with everything going on, where I spend my extra cash when I get it matters that much more to me. After all; if a restaurant can't even tell you the truth about what they are selling, why should you trust what is going on behind the closed doors of the kitchen? It might not be something that is directly affected by US law, but you can bet your bottom dollar that how things are presented up front can and will affect whether or not your customer base trusts your product enough to buy it.

Don’t know if anyone else had said this but the difference between the two types of lobsters would be the terroir (tear-wah). Its something that happens in foods where the environment around them gives slight and distinct differences in flavors when eaten. Cheese is an easy example to site with this which is why some foods are “name-place-protected” meaning if it isn’t from a certain spot, you can’t call it that because the flavor is different. Best example is Gruyère cheese which if it is not made in a certain part of the Alps can not be called Gruyère. There was even a lawsuit when some people who made Gruyère parted ways with another and they both fought in court over which was the true Gruyère. When one side lost they were forced to change the name of their cheese even though the process was the same, but since they were in a different location in the alps, they could not use the name Gruyère. I don’t know if Maine lobster is name place protected but I imagine the situation is similar where the environment shapes how they taste.

Milk used for production changes depending on how the cows are fed. Grass pastures are different at various altitudes in the alps. Roquefort is more or less the same. you can't make Roquefort anywhere else than in Roquefort, because the caves where the cheese rests are pretty geologically unique and have an effect. With animals, it even applies to general living conditions. Two chickens of the same origin will have very different tastes if one is raised in a box while the other runs free outside for most of it's life.

That's not really how it works when it comes to biology, though. It's nothing but marketing and people convincing themselves that things taste different based on where it came from, but in blind taste tests or ones where they are made to believe something came from X region even though it didn't, they will claim it tastes different from one they were told was not of that region, even though they're eating the exact same thing taken from the exact same source both times.

@@WobblesandBean It is exactly because of biology that the same species can have a different taste. If you feed your sheep exclusively with salt grass from low-tide sea-shores, the cheese and meat will have a different taste to products from the same species but fed from exclusively grass and hay from inland hills. In the same sense, a lobster that lives in a colder, deeper area will need a more resilient shell, to resist water pressure, while the other, living in warmer shallower waters can be more plump. If you drive your car everywhere, you can become plumper with soft feet, while the Kid in Nigeria that walks 20 miles a day to go to school will have leather for feet. You're not exactly a different species... The entire wine trade is built on that. With a dozen grape varieties ("species" if you will) we get hundreds of wines depending on soil composition and maturing process. There is however, a part of marketing indeed. The key is to sift trough what's pure marketing, and what's justified as a difference to be advertised.

I think the important part of Gordon's arguments of ripping off the customer regarding the lobster doesn't have anything to do with the actual taste, it's the fact that Maine Lobster is an actual official entity used by restaurants and companies for branding and pricing reasons. Titling something the "Maine Lobster" plate while serving Canadian is a clear cut scam regardless of the price, but just to add the layer of scum it's also being charged as if it were a Maine Lobster so it's just a rip off all around. The only way the "it tastes the same" argument flies is when you're telling the customer that you're getting the lobster cheaper and the customer is too, when you're charging the same as the expensive version and your excuse is "it tastes the same" you're just being a jackass.

While the differences are probably exaggerated by marketing, there probably is at least a slight difference between Maine lobster and Canadian lobster Also, from what I remember, Maine Lobster is legally distinct, meaning that not all lobster for Maine is considered Maine Lobster, meaning that there's likely specific selection practices that increase the quality of the individual lobsters, while Canadian lobsters have lower quality standards, and as a result are more numerous. The Taste difference is probably less from the location and morr from more discerning collection practices

Not a scientific answer but my father is a chef, we live in Rhode Island and has worked in multiple restaurants as head chef and owns his own place. I asked him about the lobsters and he said relatively the same thing as those sites. They're the same lobster, but they taste different. Suprisingly he said he prefers canadian lobster, but he can't eat it anymore cause he has developed an allergy to shellfish lol

4:20 Legally even though they might be the “same” species they cannot be sold under another name, it’s outright illegal and it’s false advertisement

What gets me is, these businesses ask for help then complain when they get it.

I thought that the issue with lobster was that different environments and possibly different food availability would cause a slight change in taste (I remember on some other gordon Ramsey show where you have to be careful cooking catfish because they eat mud and thus might affect the meat) There’s also probably a lot of protection and product traceability with having the correct name

Salmon in Lake Michigan still have pollutants from a factory that was dumping its waste into the Lake. They state of Illinois have a warning that one should only one serving of Lake Michigan salmon a month. So yes, environment matters.

18:49 Yes, that channel is auto-generated by KZitem. It's technically for the Christian music guy but since he has the same name. They get put on the same channel. I've seen this a lot and they're probably not related.

The most hilarious part to me is how he described the "bastardization" of the lobster roll is literally the traditional recipe down to a T (as far as I know, anyway) was his literally just lobster on a hotdog bun or something?
