I think lobster meat is ridiculously overrated. It tastes fairly bland without the butter, lemon or other dips/seasonings that usually go with it.
It used to be considered fit only for bait or fertilizer and only food for the poor or lower classes until around the mid 1800's when it started to become more popular on the American east coast.
So, from a historical perspective, it's actually the type of food one would associate with someone who's down on their luck (those porterhouse steaks are another matter, however.)
