I was visiting an eco-resort in the early 90s in panama in the san blas islands, and the locals were told the americans would only eat lobster (caught there fresh) if it was boiled, vs their own grilling/fire cooking it. So these natives proceeded to boil the life out of the poor lobsters and served the most rubbery tasteless lobster I've ever had. All because that's what they thought we liked.
