Mayonnaise of Lobster.
Meat of one large boiled lobster, cold and cut into dice. Lay aside the coral for the dressing. Make this of these ingredients: 4 hard boiled eggs; 2 tablespoonfuls best salad-oil; 1 teaspoonful, each, of made mustard, salt, white sugar, and anchovy sauce; vinegar and cayenne to taste.
Pound the yolks perfectly smooth, and rub in the coral and other ingredients with great care, moistening with vinegar as they stiffen, until a smooth cream is the result. Pour this over the minced lobster, and toss up well with a silver fork. Heap in the centre of your salad-bowl, and lay cool, white lettuce-hearts around it, helping out these with the lobster. Inside of the lettuce lay a chain of the sliced boiled whites.
