Hi Dale,

 RH> There are 2 primary lobster rolls; McD's serves the Maine style which
 RH> is cold meat, mixed with mayo. I had one of those in VT a few years
 RH> ago; it was ok but not great. Then we discovered Cousin's Maine Lobster
 RH> Trucks; they were featured some years ago on Shark Tank (American tv
 RH> show where entrepenours pitch their products, hoping for financial
 RH> backing). The Cousin's trucks, one is in the Raleigh/WF area, serve
 RH> Connecticut style rolls which consist of warm lobster in a sauce of
 RH> drawn butter. Both of these rolls are served on split top or brioche
 RH> rolls.
 RH> Manhatten rolls are a third type of lobster rolls, not as well known.
 RH> They're like the Maine rolls, served cold, dressed with mayo and
 RH> often, finely diced celery. Some recipies thin the mayo with a bit of
 RH> lemon juice, salt and pepper may also be added.


 DS> Quite some time ago, Gail and I had a lobster roll someplace in CT
 DS> during one of the picnics.  I don't recall if it was warm or cold,
 DS> mayo or butter -- but it was good.  More recently, we went to Panera
 DS> Bread
 DS> where I had a lobster roll (about $16) and Gail had something else
 DS> (about $7).  She had the better sandwich!  The lobster roll was
 DS> probably like what you describe as the Maine style.  YUK.

The warm meat and butter are what make the CT roll so much better, IMO.
Cold meat and mayo just don't bring out the flavor. Last year for
Christmas, our older daughter sent a Panera gift card as part of an over
all package of goodies; we finally used it in April. It was a chilly,
rainy day so we both got french onion soup and a half sandwich--both
good, but not great. I saw the lobster roll listed on the menu board but
we decided to go with their soup/sandwich combo and couldn't get the
lobster as part of that.

Looks good, something to try when I'm feeling better.
