Lobster, Stewed

Pick the meat carefully from a medium-sized freshly-boiled lobster, cut it into dice, and put them in an enamelled stewpan, with half a salt-spoonful of salt, half a salt-spoonful of pepper, half a grain of cayenne, two ounces of fresh butter, a tea-spoonful of mustard, and a dessert-spoonful of vinegar. Stew gently for five or six minutes, then add a glassful of light wine, simmer two or three minutes longer, and serve. Garnish the dish with parsley and sliced lemon. Probable cost of lobster, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
