I got a remarkable number of "What's a lobster roll?" answers.

Oh, and then there's Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobster_roll

(I just had one here in Connecticut, so I figured I'd post a poll. The dividing line seems to be Connecticut and south for butter, Massachusetts and north for mayonnaise. I'm not sure what the preference is in the Maritimes. There's a lot of overlap, and some places offer both. Heck, D'Angelo's franchises, even on the Mass Pike, serve both, although I haven't dared try one yet.)
