Blue lobsters are extremely rare. Their color is due to a genetic anomaly. Although coveted by some cuisine connoisseurs, it seems they taste like any other lobster. Maybe because once they’re cooked, they turn red like the others.
Picasso painted various lobsters including one of a blue lobster with a cat. The cat is afraid and hisses.
Francoise Gilot, like a blue lobster, was also rare. She was the only woman who had escaped the devastating effect Picasso had on the women who loved him.
