Don't bother
This old "classic" is totally disappointing. I guess cooking in the sixties (when my edition was published), was no better in Maine than it was in the rest of the country. Standish may have been a guru in her day, but her idea of a great lobster salad is simply lobster mixed with mayonnaise, and her other salads were right out of a 1960 church supper in the midwest... which wasn't good. I mean, mashed bananas in strawberry jello was representative of Maine's finest cooks?? C'mon!
