4 dishes from Maine, cooked the way the place cooks them.
Cold picked lobster barely dressed with mayonnaise and lemon, piled into a split-top roll whose flat sides have been buttered and griddled crisp.
Two soft domed chocolate cakes baked like drop cookies and sandwiched around a white filling beaten from butter, shortening and confectioners' sugar.
A double-crust pie built on small sharp lowbush berries, sugared lightly and thickened with a spoonful of starch, so it sets without turning into jam.
A soft white roll split along the top, laid with ham and cheese and then loaded with raw onion, green pepper, tomato, sour pickle and black olives, finished with oil, salt and pepper.
