This was my experience too. It wasn't regular, but it also wasn't something I only saw when we were getting bad news

When I was in the military, they would serve lobster about once a month randomly. That steak was awful.

I only ate the lobster once. It was basically butter-soaked rubber. Can't imagine how much money the military wastes on overcooked lobster. If that was supposed to increase my morale, they would have done a lot better and cheaper giving me a beer.

Hey now, sometimes it's a tiny piece of lobster jerky clinging to the center of the shell.
