LOBSTER PATTIES. Cut some boiled lobster in small pieces; then take the small claws and the spawn, put them in a suitable dish, and Jam them to a paste with a potato masher. Now add to them a ladleful of gravy or both, with a few bread crumbs; set it over the fire and boil; strain it through a strainer, or sieve, to the thickness of a cream, and put half of it to your lobsters, and save the other half to sauce them with after they are baked. Put to the lobster the bigness of an egg of butter, a little pepper and salt; squeeze in a lemon
