Art history take out

So, I live downtown and I have to say nothing really beats the atmosphere and flavor of a chinatown market. Great deals on crazy weird toys, cheap groceries, noodles & bbq duck...all good stuff, but one of my favorite things to get in chinatown - Lobster chips. If you've ever had Shrimp chips they're pretty much the same except they're not. They are Lobster flavoured. Now I dont know if it's because they're some sort of alien-insect hybrid pseudo delicacy from the nether depths of the ocean but Lobsters sure do get alot of attention, even in the art world. Why Lobsters? Not Prawns, Crayfish or King crab -  Lobsters simply are the coolest cat in the ocean.  My thanks to you Mr. Lobster for being the delicious, eccentric mascot of the art world and my thanks to you Six Fortune Foods for making my favorite Lobster snack.
