FDA ban on coral reefs lobster soup????

[Cinderellabride]

We went to Coral Reef for lunch yesterday. I absolutely love the lobster soup, it is my favorite food in the world (not just the wdw, but the actual world). The server told me there was none because of an FDA ban on it. I was soooooooooooo dissapointed. Does anyone know anything about this?

I know I'm in the minority, but the smell of that lobster bisque was just revolting to me! The manager brought be a complimentary bowl because she was trying to show me appreciation for something and I thought I was going to pass out from the odor! I did try to act gracious but...

. . . The server told me there was none because of an FDA ban on it . . .

1) Seems the same this happened in our High School cafeteria.
2) Boy, was there a shout of glee from the student body.

As a long-time vegetarian who NEVER ate "seafood" (ate fish but not things with shells and whatnot), I really really should NOT have googled "FDA lobster".

HAHA Stephen Colbert was talking about this on the Colbert Report last night. Something along the lines of "why would anybody eat something referred to as green slime anyway?"

Okay...I love lobster bisque so I refuse to google FDA lobster!!! lol

It seems as though I am the only person on here who likes it. It is interesting though that they make their stock with the bile. I'm a little grossed out now, cause I never knew that.

I love it too. Hope it's back on next month.

I would take the risk, just to eat that soup again. I agree with the post saying that is my fav soup anywhere. All I need is a bowl (not cup) of that and a basket of bread and I am in good shape.

guess i won't be eating lobster bisque again anytime soon....

I think the problem with making stock is that it is probably a little like chicken stock where the whole lobster is cooked, not just the meat. Lobster usually gets cooked/steamed whole so I can see where there might be a concern for cross contamination with the "green slime".

I had been eating lobster bisque for many years before a chef friend told me about the green slime. I like the soup so much that even that didn't scare me away! Of course, I also love hackepeter/steak tartar (ground filet served totally raw with a raw egg and onions on top of it) and black pudding (blood sausage), so what's a little green slime?

Don't care! I loved the lob bisque!

I also agree that the lobster bisque is good. But when I was at Coral Reef and had their lobster salad with a cup of soup last May, it wasn't much to me. The cup of soup was way to small for what the meal cost, I wont be going back their anytime soon. Not worlth the money.

October 15-23, 2008 next trip to Disney World.

It's interesting that this "contamination" has been out there for maybe years and years but now all of a sudden, no one wants to eat lobster bisque anymore.

If you did a chemical analysis on every single thing you eat, you'd never eat. And maybe one day they will discover this "bile" is a cure for cancer. Then everyone will eat it without hesitation.

I am so sad! I love this soup!!!!!

Red Tide toxins are in a lot of fish are they going to ban all of those too. The Red Tide is usually at the surface not down in the bottom and the majority are harmless plankton. I've had several Oceanography classes and all they would have to do is put the live lobsters in tanks for a couple of weeks and it flushes out the toxins (if there was any.)

I'd still eat the soup. Whenever I cook a whole lobster at home, I always pick out the green "slime," but it doesn't gross me out.
