½ teaspoonful of salt.
1 table-spoonful boiling water.
1 small cup of vinegar.
Beat this up well, then add to the drawn butter—beat to a cream and pour over the lobster.
Garnish the dish with celery tops and hard-boiled eggs.
It gives me great pleasure to present this receipt to those who, from prejudice or taste, do not like the presence of salad oil in any dish. I have known many who would not knowingly partake of salad, fricassee, or ragoût, that had oil, in however small quantity, as one of its ingredients. And, unlike mince-pie, with the brandy left out, or pie-crust, minus shortening, this oil-less salad is really delicious. Especially if a couple of raw eggs, well whipped, be added to the drawn butter, when almost cold.
Chicken Salad. (Excellent.)
2 full-grown chickens, boiled tender, and cold.
3 bunches of celery.
