I read an article a while ago about how many cities food handling laws makes it hard for places to serve lobster rolls. Makes me sad they look yummy.
I must say I was ahead of the curve. During one of my bannings I had Moe post this poll for me because one of my friends wanted to add them to a menu he was partnered with. Never happened, although we did talk to Maine-ly about opening more locations. But at the time this was posted, they were impossible to find. These days, I see them all over menus.
I apparently voted the yes option on this one 9 years ago. Now that they are more easily accessible I am not as impressed.
Better correct that Wiki entry "The origin is unknown. Some have speculated that the term's origin is Yiddish because of its similarity to the interjection "feh",[3] which appears in the 1936 Yiddish song Yidl Mitn Fidl. In Alexander Harkavy's Yiddish-English-Hebrew Dictionary the word is treated as a bleating or baa sound. Hooray for Yiddish, by Leo Rosten uses the word "mnyeh", which is speculated to be an early variant of "meh"." And sue John Swartzelder John Swartzwelder was credited with first introducing "meh" into a Simpsons script, and when reached for comment, he claimed he heard it from an advertising writer who said it was the funniest word in the world—in the early '70s."
Amore's (previously called Tony's Seafood Shack) in Montgomery had the best shrimp rolls I have ever tasted... overflowed with shrimp and the roll was awesome. Since moving to their new location alongside Lake Conroe it appears they dropped them from the menu... hoping it returns. But keeping to the original subject, here's a picture of what their lobster roll looked like...
i had my first lobsta roll when i went to boston last year. a boston-native friend had recommended a place called paulis in the north end. i think this with a bag of chips and a soda was like $25, but it was worth it. i got mine hot with butter...soooo good!
