What I Ate in Maine

 You have to eat blueberries in Maine, preferably inside a muffin from the Owl's Head General Store.

 It's best if you can eat it on blue dishes and mats etc.

 I did not eat these French Caramels at Sweets and Meats though temptation beckoned.

 Nor did I taste Sweet's refined thin Whoopee Pies. I hope I don't regret it...

 I didn't taste these Belted Galloways and have no plans to, but they are pretty...

 No exotic beet-chevre-walnut pizzas either at the Camden Farmer's Market...

 No cakes either

 But I did eat steamed clams last night.

 And at lunchtime, my favorite...

 LOBSTER! Lobstermen have to eat too so I was helping them out.

 A lobsteresque sketch...

Adieu fabulous Maine food!

Bergdorfs Lobster Roll

Just because it's winter doesn't mean you can't hanker for a Maine lobster roll. Bergdorfs' Holiday windows even show a crab roll-to-be. une plateau de crustaces svp.

Does a fish roll exist?

Oh to be off swimming in nice warm caribbean waters.

Does her bodice look inspired by Alexander McQueens mussel corset?

Oh to just shake your lobster snowglobe.

And have Luke's Lobster truck show up in front of Bergdorfs.

Bergdorfs' blue lobster drove me down to Luke's storefront on 93 E. 7th street Saturday at 1:05 the joint was empty.

Naturally when my friend arrived 10 minutes later, the joint was jammed.

Natch we both got the lobster roll special for $17. Everything comes from Maine including Miss Vickies chips and the ME soda pop. The roll has NO mayo only big hunks of very fresh Maine lobster and a bit of seasoned butter on a perfectly toasted bun.

For true authenticity you sit on lobsters while you eat.

Lobsters are all over this joint.

Please stop by Luke's Lobster truck on 5th Ave. & 59th st?
