Lobster Roll

A lobster roll is a kind of sandwich filled with lobster meat. A traditional lobster roll contains the freshly-cooked meat of a one-pound lobster, tossed with mayonnaise and served on a grilled hot dog bun or similar roll, served so that the opening is on the top rather than on the side. The filling may also contain diced celery and/or scallion, or use drawn butter instead of or in addition to the mayonnaise. The sandwich can also contain lettuce.Lobster rolls are especially associated with the state of Maine, but are also commonly available at seafood restaurants in the other New England states in the U.S., where lobster fishing is common. They can even be purchased at McDonald's in most New England states. They are virtually unheard-of in landlocked regions (such as the Upper Midwest) where lobster is an expensive delicacy.
