It really would be a Hell's Kitchen if you were presented with this lobster for the pot. Fortunately, however, this Giant Pink Spiny lobster looks set to live out his retirement in an aquarium - and perhaps score a place in the record books.
Named Poseidon for his size and strength, this lobster dwarfs others, measuring two feet in length and a whopping nine-and a-quarter pounds.
He was accidentally caught by the fishing boat Brittania around 200 miles south west of Newlyn, Cornwall. Spiny lobsters are actually a type of crayfish and don't usually occur in British waters.

This is the duck press, a culinary tool handcrafted from solid brass in Normandy, France and forged using a method developed over 100 years ago, and used in fine restaurants during the tableside preparation of Canard a la presse (pressed duck).
In the traditional restaurant preparation, waiters remove the breast and leg meat from a lightly roasted duck and place the duck bones in the bowl of the press. The handle is rotated clockwise and the juices and marrow are extracted from the bones and funneled to a saucier and combined with wine, brandy, aromatics, seasonings, and the duck meat.
The sauce is heated and reduced, resulting in a heady glaze that is served atop the duck breast and legs. The base of the unit sits on brass duck feet and th e large wheel is easy to grip and turn.

But the Abbot doesn't lend its self well for passengers. So at Christmas we pulled out the best armored personnel carrier from 30 we had laying around.

We decided on Gloss white as you would.
