Take the lobster out of the shell and clean it; Bridget will have
to show you how the first time. Or, if you are using canned lobster,
pour away all the juice and pick out the bits of shell, and find
the black string which is apt to be there, and throw it away.
Cut the meat in pieces as large as the end of your finger, and
heat it in the sauce till it steams. Put in a small half-teaspoonful
of salt, a pinch of cayenne, and a squeeze of lemon. Do not put
this in a large dish, but in small ones, buttered well, and serve
at once. Stand a little claw up in each dish.
Creamed Salmon
1 can salmon.
1 cup of white sauce.
Prepare this dish exactly as you did the plain creamed white fish.
Take it out of the can, remove all the juice, bones, and fat, and
put in the white sauce, and cook a moment till smooth. Add a small
half-teaspoonful of salt, a little pepper, and a squeeze of lemon, and
put in a baking-dish and brown, or serve as it is, in small dishes.
Scalloped Lobster or Salmon
1 can of fish, or 1 pint.
1 large cup of cracker or bread crumbs.
1 large cup of white sauce.
Prepare this dish almost as you did the scalloped oysters. Take out
all the bones and skin and juice from the fish; butter a baking-dish,
put in a layer of fish, then salt and pepper, then a layer of crumbs
and butter, and a layer of white sauce, then fish, seasoning, crumbs
and butter again, and have the crumbs on top. Dot over with butter
and brown in the oven, or serve in small dishes.
Crab Meat in Shells
You can buy very nice, fresh crab meat in tins, and the shells also.
A very delicious dish is made by mixing a cup of rich cream sauce
with the crab meat, seasoning it well with salt and pepper and putting
in the crab-shells; cover with crumbs, dot with butter, and brown in
the oven. This is a nice thing to have for a company luncheon.
Creamed Chicken or Turkey
2 cups of cold chicken.
1 large cup of white or creamed sauce.
1/2 teaspoonful of chopped parsley.
Salt and pepper.
Pick the chicken or turkey off the bones and cut into small bits
before you measure it. Heat it in the sauce till very hot, but
do not let it boil, and add the seasoning,--about half a teaspoonful
of salt, and a tiny bit of cayenne, or as much celery-salt in the
place of the common kind. Put in a large buttered dish and serve,
or in small dishes, either with crumbs on top or not.
A nice addition to this dish is half a green pepper, the seeds
taken out, chopped very fine indeed, and mixed with the white meat;
the contrast of colors is pretty and the taste improved.
Scalloped Eggs
6 hard-boiled eggs.
1 cup cream or white sauce.
1 cup fine bread-crumbs.
Salt and pepper.
