Lobster, Broiled

Take a medium-sized freshly-boiled cock lobster, split it open from head to tail, remove what are called the lady fingers, which are not to be eaten, sprinkle a little white pepper over the meat, and place pieces of butter here and there upon it. Lay the shells open upon a gridiron above a bright, clear fire, and when quite hot, serve on a neatly-folded napkin. Time to broil, a quarter of an hour. Sufficient for four or five persons. Probable cost, 1s. 6d. to 3s.
