LOBSTER, POTTED (another way)

Pick the meat from a medium-sized, freshly-boiled hen lobster. Tear the white part into flakes with two forks, and pound a table-spoonful of it with the soft parts and the spawn in a mortar. Use the same seasoning as in the last recipe. When ready, press the red and white meat into jars in layers, and cover with clarified butter. When prepared in this way the appearance of the lobster is better than when the last recipe is followed, but the meat will not keep so long. Time, about an hour and a half to prepare. Probable cost of lobster, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for half a dozen persons.
