Potted lobster.

Ingredients:- 2 lobsters; seasoning to taste,
of nutmeg, pounded mace, white pepper, and salt;
1/4 lb. of butter, 3 or 4 bay-leaves.

Mode:- Take out the meat carefully from the shell,
but do not cut it up. Put some butter at the bottom
of a dish, lay in the lobster as evenly as possible,
with the bay-leaves and seasoning between. Cover
with butter, and bake for 3/4 hour in a gentle oven.
When done, drain the whole on a sieve, and lay the
pieces in potting-jars, with the seasoning about them.
When cold, pour over it clarified butter, and,
if very highly seasoned, it will keep some time.

Time. 3/4 hour.
