Mussel Salad

Wash the mussels and boil them until the shells open. When cooked drain them, remove the shells and put them into a hot dish. Melt one-fourth pound of butter, season with pepper, salt, lemon juice and a small quantity of Worcestershire sauce and pour it over the mussels. They should be eaten hot with some thin slices of brown bread and butter.
