Lobster Pudding.
1 large lobster well boiled, or a can of preserved lobster.
½ cup fine bread-crumbs.
½ cup cream or rich milk.
Cayenne pepper and salt.
1 teaspoonful of Worcestershire or Harvey’s sauce.
¼ pound fat, salt pork, or corned ham, cut into very thin slices.
3 eggs.
Pound the meat and coral to a paste. Mix into this two eggs well beaten, the seasoning, the bread-crumbs, and one table-spoonful of cream. Stir all together until light. Line the pudding-mould with the sliced ham. Pour the mixture into this and fit on the top. Set into a pot or pan of boiling water, and boil steadily for one hour.
Sauce for Pudding.
½ cup drawn butter.
A little chopped parsley.
1 teaspoonful anchovy sauce.
Heat almost to boiling; stir in a beaten egg, and so soon as this begins to thicken, take from the fire.
Turn the pudding out carefully upon a hot dish, and pour the sauce over it. Cut with a sharp thin knife.
Send around lemon cut into eighths, to be squeezed over each slice, should the guests wish to do so.
