SHELL FISH, BUISSON, OR THICKET OF (a pretty supper dish)

Four lobsters, a pint of crayfish, and a pint of prawns are needed for this dish. Take a stale loaf of bread, trim away the crust, and cut the crumb to a square block. Hang a lobster on each side of this, with the tail resting on the top of the block and the head in the dish; cover the empty spaces with parsley, and upon this lay crayfish and prawns. Put prawns and parsley round the buisson, and fasten three or four crayfish on the top of it with silver skewers.
