??? How do you infer that nb meant uncooked lobster? That's not how
I read him, nor what I have ever found anywhere on offer anywhere in
New England (or elsewhere for that matter). He said "cold" -- which
is to say that lobster rolls are _not_ made with lobster meat that is
right out of the boiling pot, but rather from meat that's been chilled
after cooking.

Actually, I _don't_ much care for the hot-dog bun thingy, and would
be interested in a warm lobster salad variant, which is _not_ the
traditional New England lobster roll, served on interesting bread.
