Lobster Thermidor is a French dish consisting of a creamy mixture of cooked lobster meat, egg yolks, and brandy (often cognac), stuffed into a lobster shell. It can also be served with an oven-browned cheese crust, typically Gruyère. The sauce must contain mustard (typically powdered mustard). Due to expensive and extensive preparation involved, Lobster Thermidor is usually considered a recipe primarily for special occasions. The recipe of Lobster Thermidor was created around 1880 by Auguste Escoffier then working in ''Maison Maire'', a Parisian restaurant near the theater Comédie Française. In January 1891, the play ''Thermidor'' by Victorien Sardou opened in that theater. The play took its name from a summer month in the French Republican Calendar, during which the Thermidorian Reaction occurred, overthrowing Robespierre and ending the Reign of Terror.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Linda's Culinary Dictionary Index )〕 Mr Paillard (''Maison Maire'' Lobster Thermidor has a cameo in the famous Monty Python "Spam" sketch. ==See also== * List of seafood dishes * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lobster Thermidor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
