A small oyster is used for this purpose, ½ doz. being the number for each person. For 6 plates mix 3 teaspoons each of vinegar, grated horseradish and tomato catsup. Six teaspoons of lemon juice and 1 of tabasco sauce. Have oysters very cold and place in small glasses and pour the sauce over and serve. The glasses should also be chilled and placed on plate with spoon and an oyster fork. Thin slices of brown bread buttered should be served with them. Some persons prefer cocktails as a finale. They can also be served on individuals--blocks of ice--with center melted out with hot poker.
