I have no idea about taste but plunging a lobster alive into boiling water ,
headfirst is the MOST humane way to kill this animal. When a knife is inserted
to sever the brain from the rest of the nervous system, the animal thrashes
and flops about . I tend oto agree that no geese were boiled alive, however,
this is not to presume that boiling alive would not be humane for several
other creatures such as shellfish.
