the whites of two eggs. Beat until nice and smooth; fill little waldorf moulds that have been buttered and decorated with truffles and Spanish pepper; leave in a pan in hot water and cook for about fifteen minutes, uncovered. Serve on a green foundation; garnish with a paper frill in each chop and parsley all around. If the cutlets are served with lobster, shrimp, or crab sauce, garnish the dish with the claws or with some cooked, unpeeled shrimps. Mousse of Halibut ( Mousse de Fletan) a la New York One and a half pounds halibut, cream and milk to make it the right consistence, the whites of two eggs not beaten, salt and pepper. Put through the machine about six times; beat it through a fine sieve; then put it in a large saucepan on ice and stir with a whisk, adding cream and milk mixed (say the amount of a quart). When half amount of the cream and milk has been added, add some salt and pepper, then more cream and milk; after try a little in hot water on the stove, again and again adding more cream and milk until the mousse is the right consistence. Halibut takes much less cream and milk than do salmon and bass. Butter ring moulds; decorate with strips of Spanish pepper, a daisy at the bottom of the mould and branches all around; then fill the mould with the mousse through a paper bag so as not to disturb the decoration. Hammer it down well; put in hot water, and cook for about twelve to fifteen minutes, well covered, in a slow oven. Then turn out on a paper napkin; serve with any kind of fish sauce — lobster, oyster, crab, truffle, or hollandaise — in the centre. If with lobster sauce gar¬ nish all around with the claws and parsley.
