Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)
Lobster rolls are very popular up here in the tourist spots - even Burger King sells them! The ones available in most of those places would kill us IBS'ers, but the good news is that they're really simple to make IBS-friendly.
You need:
* Cooked lobster - online recipes figure 3oz per roll, I figure 1 lobster per person because I like bigger rolls!
* Fat-free/lowfat mayonnaise of choice
* Salt and pepper to taste
* Good white sandwich rolls - think like the rolls you get a 6" sub in at Subway (You could also use good hotdog rolls, but this will also make smaller sandwiches, of course.)
Cut the lobster up into bite-size pieces. Mix in enough mayo to get desired consistency - you definitely don't want it dripping with mayo, but it should be moist. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into rolls and enjoy!
And that's it... as silly as it is, that's an authentic Maine lobster roll.
My boyfriend makes his lobster salad a little fancier, with some finely chopped celery and green onion; you could really add anything to it that you would typically want to add to a seafood salad. Toasting the cut rolls a bit is nice too.
