What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Rollin’ in Lobstah! Ever wonder why lobster is so popular? I find the mildly sweet, delicate flavor irresistible. If you’re preparing it at home in a state that is landlocked, a lot of resources are at your fingertips. Did you know you can order it from Maine and have it delivered in 24 hours? That’s golden. There are numerous websites that offer delicious lobster choices to conveniently keep on hand in the freezer. I buy lobster meat and lobster tails only. Forget the labor-intensive task of twisting the head, legs, and claws apart from the tail. Then again, I’ve been called “high maintenance”. To each his own.
ROLLIN’ IN LOBSTAH
Ingredients:
4 cups cooked lobster meat, cut into chunks
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
4 split-top brioche hot dog buns
4 tablespoons butter, melted and divided
1 tablespoon chives, thinly sliced for garnish
Fresh lemon wedges, for garnish
Instructions:
In a bowl, combine lobster meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to coat. Spread butter on the outer sides of each bun. Place the buns on a griddle over medium heat. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Divide the lobster mixture among the buns. Garnish with fresh chives and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with remaining butter.
I would not touch a lobster even if my life depended on it! But I use all your other bits and pieces, Gail, with my salads!

Lobster can be “hit or miss”. Unfortunately, you never know until you taste it. 😜🍃🦞

I am not referring to the taste of this beautiful creature, Gail, but to the cruelty of the way it is killed!
And why to kill anyone to eat?!

At least “lobster” joints and food trucks are popping up more nowadays. Used to be the only option was to go to a seafood restaurant, which can be pricey. 🦞🍃🦞

This New Englander approves of the split top bun, the only way to eat a lobster roll!

Soooo right. Even hot dogs taste better on a split top bun. That way I can “stuff” it with condiments. 😜
