An Expensive Delicacy

...where lobster is an expensive delicacy.

Yeah, well, I live in NH, and I can tell you, lobster ain't exactly cheap here either. MSTCrow 16:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I slightly reworded that line. —BMRR (talk) 17:20, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References

Exactly what kinds of external refs does one need for a description of a common New England menu item? Someone is getting awfully pedantic. Parsnip13 10:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!--205.122.107.21 (talk) 16:25, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, any refs would be better than none at all... —BMRR (talk) 17:20, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'd like to see some proof for some of the assertions such as the one that hot lobster rolls have been replaced by chilled lobster, except in Connecticut. Red's Eats is still in business serving hot rolls. Fred Talk 13:35, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Having grown up in Connecticut, I can attest that the hot, buttery lobster rolls are what is served there, all along the shoreline. Lobster salad is made with mayo, but is called a "lobster salad sandwich" not a lobster roll. And now I'm hungry, and nowhere near CT or any lobsters!--TEHodson 07:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This user is 100% correct. The lobster roll originated in Connecticut. It has been copied all up and down New England. Maine created the lobster salad sandwich. This article should be re-written. --Jsderwin (talk) 20:38, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate Entry

There are two pages for the same item, Lobster roll and Lobster Roll (with upper case R). Obvious merge-and-redirect material. Originally proposed by Badagnani. Ssh83 (talk) 22:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Warning

Unless anyone objects, I'd say these are plenty of references for this article now. --Jsderwin (talk) 21:08, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"soaked in butter"? Really?

"...lobster meat soaked in butter..."

Unless someone promtly provides a reference supporting the claim that meat is "soaked in butter", I will delete this wording — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 (talk) 17:12, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have no opinion either way on whether or not this is traditional, but here's Bobby Flay's recipe which does call for the meat to be soaked in butter: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/hot-lobster-roll-with-lemon-tarragon-butter-recipe.html valereee (talk) 17:36, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To user 139.68.134.1: Your question was already answered a long time ago. Look up above at the comments from 2011. Also, the reference is right there in the article, in the second paragraph: "As far back as 1970, chopped lobster meat heated in drawn butter was served on a hot dog bun at road side stands such as Red's Eats in Maine," and it cites Stern, Jane; Stern, Michael (2002).

Staple Summer Meal

Lobster rolls are a staple summer meal throughout the Maritime provinces in Canada, particularly Nova Scotia...

Seriously, who wrote this?

This is mostly a tourist thing here.

Nova Scotia has one of the highest rates of poverty in Canada and the lowest average income. Whoever write this needs to have their head checked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.57.11.209 (talk) 21:34, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
