Lobster salad with an apple veil, caviar jelly roll, vanilla bean vinaigrette

The veil is an apple gelatin made wafer thin with agar and draped over the lobster salad. The caviar is rolled with some jullienne apple in the same jelly. The vanilla bean vinaigrette is thickened with a little Xantana to hold the emulsification on the plate. Popular on the du jour this evening, then again lobster always is.
