New England Lobster Rolls
During summer 1985 when I just bought my 1981 Dodge Colt 🚗, a friend of mine and I went to Ogunquit in Maine. We had a blast! We met so many great people and also savored some incredible food. This is when I had my first New England Lobster Rolls and have been making them ever since.
As a lobster lover, this sandwich is out of this world. With New England-style hot dog buns, a combination of ingredients and of course, lobster 🦞 which is the star of the show, this is the ultimate recipe to enjoy at the end of summer.
My late friend Brigitte (boy do I ever miss you, girlfriend!🙁) was from New Brunswick and used to go to the annual Shediac Lobster Festival. One day, I wanted to surprise her with these New England Lobster Rolls. When she arrived at home, there was a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio and soon after her arrival, I served them. She called them “guédilles au homard” which is the French Canadian name.
Whichever name you use, the best hot dog buns for them are the New England-style also known as top-loading buns or Frankfurt rolls. They’re ideal when toasted or grilled. The side-loading buns are what we mostly use when we have hot dogs 🌭 and are steamed.
Depending on where you live, you might have difficulty finding the New England-style buns. I couldn’t find any here on the West Coast therefore my mother Nicole, who lives in Québec, is my provider! If you don’t have anyone that can get you some, the next alternative is to make your own 👩🍳 by buying a New England Hot Dog Pan.
Let’s talk about Miracle Whip. For those of you who lift your nose at this ingredient, adding some will bring the mixture together. Mayonnaise is rich and tangy while Miracle Whip has a blend of spices such as mustard, paprika, and garlic 🧄 plus it contains sugar. By adding some to the lobster mixture, it gives another layer of flavor. Also, Miracle Whip has a lower fat contain versus its counterpart making it a “healthier version”.
Ready in 15 minutes ⏳, these delicious New England Lobster Rolls are the ultimate sandwich! With a beautiful mixture of flavor served in toasted buns along with potato chips, this is the perfect meal to enjoy this summer! Here’s a link on How to Cook Lobster Tails
