Boston Fancy Stew. Make a milk stew in the same style, and a thin slice of buttered toast. Use a broad and shallow bowl. Put the buttered toast in the bowl, dish the oys- ters (sott cooked) on the toast and pour the liquor in at the side, enough to make it float. Cost of material — 12 large oysters
