It was both rich people and poor people food. The population of lobster was massive to the point where dead lobsters could always be found on the beach, but as most cooks know, but they die the meat is almost immediately tainted by the organs. Ships would bring in massive hauls and the best and freshest lobsters were bought by people who wanted and could afford them, and then dead and dying shit went to the poor or emprisoned.

This. It's collagen dog.

Collagen melts at a low temp, but you don't want to overcook the meat, making *it* tough. Collagen is the same stuff that makes good stock like jello when it cools, your ribs sticky, and real soup delicious.

Yeah, never stuff a boneless cut off meat, even chicken and pork. You have to overcook it in order to get the filling to temp.

A juicy porkchop or even chicken breast is better than a dry one with moist stuffing. If you're hellbent on having stuffing, make it separate and plate your cut on top of it. If you think pork or chicken is inherently dry, you overcook meat. Use a calibrated thermometer and ignore FDA warnings as meat carries over, aim for 145 for your thick cut pork, and 155 for chicken breast; use a mild brine as a training wheel if you still suck.

I still don't know how to cook, please put how to cook in the /ck/ sticky

Remove it. It takes less than a minute. Poke one of the tines of a fork under either side and lift up enough to grab ahold of. Then grip it with a rag and yank it off. If it tears don't worry about it, just do the same thing I said again.
