Being a west-coaster by birth (moved here in my 30's), I always considered lobster to be an extremely expensive luxury food. If you wanted lobster in a restaurant in the Bay Area in the 80's, you had to be prepared to fork over $30-$40, which would certainly be much more now. <br /><br />So when I was offered my first lobster roll here, I was shocked an appalled. <i>You do what with that lobster? Mix it with mayonnaise and put it on a hot-dog bun?!? Sacrilege!!!</i> But I've since become a convert, though I prefer they go easy on the mayo. <br /><br />But getting one at McD's? I don't think I'd even try. <br /><br />Saludos,<br /><br />Kim G<br />Boston, MA<br /><i>Where we think we should look for a lobster roll for lunch.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-65903528453531544712015-06-23T17:26:04.278-07:002015-06-23T17:26:04.278-07:00The filet-o-fish isn't too bad, but they slath...The filet-o-fish isn't too bad, but they slather on a lot of sauce on them also.

I have them when I visit my mother sometimes and I make mine with sour cream or plain yoghurt, plus the mustard and celeriac. You want a really high quality bun, too. I wish this hadn't been your first introduction to one. :(Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477204159405707320noreply@blogger.com
