All this talk of lobsters has driven me to arrange a repeat of the shipment I mentioned above for next week.
As I type, the little dears are being selected, going through a rigorous regime of testing and measurement in a small enclave tucked away in a Norwegian Fjord. The fittest and plumpest 20 will be boiled on this coming Sunday morning, cooled in fresh Norwegian air and packed, before transport to the airport. As described, they will be first wrapped in paper, to avoid leakeage, then carried as checked luggage in ordinary suitcases. At the other end, a chauffeur driven limousine (more for the speed and efficient aircon than for crustacean comfort) will meet them at Suvarnabhumi airport and, all going well, we will have a lobster party in Bangkok on Monday night. I'll let you know how it goes.
