Food means different things to people belonging to different regions around the world and yet they seek to fulfil one thing – our hunger. In doing so, they give us satisfaction, and as the kite takes to the skies, our pleasure soars. Each dish evokes a unique sense of satisfaction and here we see how the lobster plays the line in fulfilling our desires.

Lobster Food from America

 

One food item that has been around in America since the 1800s is the ciopinno. It is fish stew done in the Italian style. This fish stew is reminiscent of the Gold Rush era and we make with any fish available in plenty, and usually, this was lobster or crab. The fish we cook in a tomato base with spices and wine.

The other great dish is the lobster roll. A culture defined in the great Down East, the lobsters we steam alive, coat with butter, with drippings of mayo and lemon, and place inside a buttered hot dog bun – this finger food is absolutely satisfying. August is the time for the lobster festival, so be there.
