Full Answer

Why is it called Dublin lawyer?

This is a traditional method of serving lobster which is extremely delicious. If possible make this dish with a raw lobster, that is one which has been killed just before cooking by plunging a sharp instrument into the cross on the head.

Cooking Tips

1 fresh lobster (weighing about 2 1/2 pounds / 1.1 kg) 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) butter 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) whisky 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) heavy cream salt and pepper 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional) 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (optional)

Literature & Lore

The recipe’s name is an odd one. Of course, because it is a rich dish, with whiskey, there are the usual jokes about similarities with lawyers. It’s also claimed at times to be hundreds of years old. The problem with all this, of course, is that lobster was seen as a food for poor folk. It’s only in recent times that it became expensive.
