This is probably more suited to a Facebook post, but I am biding time while my ginnygram muse is apparently on vacation.
Remember how excited I was to find Duke’s Mayo so far north? Well, lookee what I found in a Kroger’s way down in Brazil, Indiana! New England Style Rolls, aka Lobster Buns! These babies just don’t exist outside of New England. My family lived and ate in New Hampshire when I was a teenager, and boyohboy, did we learn to love these buns.
They’re hot dog buns with bare sides, which you lightly butter then lightly grill then deliciously fill. They’re…they’re…what they give you in your Welcome to Heaven Wagon, along with coupons for foot massages and pictures of corgi puppies.
I don’t know why the whole wide world doesn’t get together and demand that all grocers stock New England Style Rolls in every bread aisle.
I’d mount a campaign, but I fear that doing so will call attention to some poor Hot Dog Bun Buyer for Kroger’s Midwest Bread Division who checked the wrong box on his Bun Re-Order Form, and he’ll lose his job.
And I just wouldn’t be able to live with myself.
You do it.

Love. As a hard core Midwesterner, I’ve actually experienced lobster rolls as an adult. I do remember how soft the buns were. (That’s what she said!) Tee hee!
you always can make me SMILE
Well…..perhaps the manager of your local Dominick’s store or “the Jewel” might order these buns for you and perhaps even have a go at stocking them to see what the “market will bear”. I’ll just bet a lot of midwestern folks wouldn’t mind experiencing this fabulous thing!
Wal-Mart has been carrying New England Style Hot Dog buns for years.
