[PHOTO] One McLobster

I split a McLobster sandwich last night in Toronto. The sandwich, traditionally a feature of Atlantic Canadian McDonald's outlets, has this season been the subject of a national roll-out. Why not try it? I argued. $C 8 is not that high a price.

I'm used to lobster sandwiches being fresh, with a flavourless sauce like mayo. This lobster was not especially fresh, the lemony sauce was suspicious, and the lettuce-to-lobster ratio was high. This was not a bad sandwich, mind, certainly compared to the alternative of having no lobster sandwich was much better. It was fast food, for better or for worse. Expecting more would have been inappropriate.
