One Way to Prepare a Lobster

Put into a saucepan butter the size of a small egg, and one teaspoon of minced onion. When it has cooked, sprinkle in one teaspoon of flour, which cook also; then stir in one cup of the water in which the lobster was boiled, one cup of milk, one cup of strong veal or beef stock, pepper and salt. Add the meat of the boiled lobster, and when quite hot pour all in the center of a hot platter.

Decorate the dish with the lobster's head in the center, fried bread diamonds (croutons) around the outside; or with the abundant resources of lobster legs and trimmings. Mrs E. C. Gardner.
