Take the meat from a boiled lobster, cut it up small and put it into a stewpan with just enough water to keep it from burning and to make the gravy ; let it simmer five minutes, add a teaspoonful good butter, salt and pepper to taste, heat to boiling and serve hot.
LOBSTER CROQUETTES. To the meat of a well-boiled lobster, chopped fine, add pepper, salt, and mace if liked ; mix with this one-quarter as much bread crumbs, well rubbed, as you have meat ; make it into pointed balls, with two tablespoonfuls of melted butter; roll these in beaten eggs, then in cracker dust, and fry in butter or sweet lard. Serve dry and hot and garnish with crisp parsley. This is a delicious supper dish or entree at dinner.
