I just heard an ad on television for a restaurant that boasts an Australian theme; the guy spoke with an Aussie accent--credible or not, I'm not sure.
Anyway--what are lobster tiles, please?

Yes, I should ask the waiter, but we have them on the
menu at "Outback" a chain of Aussie themed restaurants here too.

I think it must have been Lobster Tails too, Jackie. You know how these funny ascents make words sound. Looking delicious

Or either it's just the shell without any meat inside.

I'm with Candy on this one. Seems like Stage Strine (Australian English); the ai /eɪ/ of tails is pronounced like the i /æɪ/ in tile.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Or either it's just the shell without any meat inside. I stopped by the restaurant here, and they said it is the meat without the shell, usually sliced after cooking, making it small round disks, and served with other seafood usually. Shrimp and Lobster tiles. Scallops and Lobster tiles.
