Lobster Salad. — Pick the meat from the body of a lobster, take out the tail part in one piece, and cut it, with the contents of the claws, into slices a quarter of an inch thick. Chop the whites of two hard-boiled eggs smaU, and rub the yolks through a hair sieve. Do the same with the spawn or coral of the lobster, but mix the soft part and any bits with the sauce. Pour the sauce into the bowl, put in a layer of shred lettuce and small salad, and place the slices of lobster, with hard-boiled eggs, quartered, and interspersed with sliced beetroot, cucumber, &c., on the top. Repeat in the same manner until the bowl is f uU, sprink- ling the ^2;^ and coral over and between the layers. To ornament, reserve some of the hard-boiled eggs, yolks and whites ; arrange these, with the coral, beetroot, and sliced lobster, so that the coloui-s may contrast well. Before serving, pour some mayonnaise sauce over the top. Crab may be prepared in the same manner. Probable cost, 3s. 6d.
