I knew
that my trip to Maine would be filled with lobster, but what I didn’t expect
was how many different ways I would get to eat lobster. I was prepared for a
monotony of steamed lobster with butter and lobsters rolls every day, but
surprisingly I never had to repeat a dish, there was so much variety.
I had a
lobster and Swiss cheese omelet, lobster stew, lobster roles, Italian-style
pasta with lobster, steamed whole lobster, lobster corn chowder, lobster
bisque, lobster cakes, lobster mac and cheese, and even lobster in Vietnamese
noodle soup.
I'm still
not a believer in the seafood-diary combo, but this would have made it
impossible to eat lobster in Maine. Whether is was melted butter on the side,
or mashed lobster with mayo in a roll, or cream in a bisque or stew, diary was
omnipresent.
In nearly
every dish I was impressed with the portion of the meat and fresh taste. But if
you want to recreate my lobster experience add $20 to your daily food budget,
because lobster don’t come cheap.
