At Christmas time the shops try to tempt us with luxury items that we probably wouldn’t buy at any other time of the year. I found these Lobster Crumpets at my local Sainsburys. Described as fluffy sourdough crumpets, topped with a rich thermidor sauce, lobster chunks and tangy Italian cheese. Well why not I thought, it’s Christmas.
They take about ten minutes in the oven. The sourdough crumpets were nice and fluffy, and I liked the sauce and the cheese. The real issue was the lack of lobster. Mine had a lot less lobster than there is on the official image (above). I think the issue was the 8% lobster in the dish, compare that to the 15% in the similar size Lobster Mac & Cheese. I don’t think I would buy them again, probably a better option would be to make your own.
