Lobster Salad
Cut a small piece from the top of a French roHl,
and remove the inside. Cut cold lobster into pieces
about the size of dice, mix it with mayonnaise dress-
ing✪ Lobster Salad, and fill the cavity in the rolls, covering with the
piece which has been removed. A pretty way of serv-
ing, which also secures the cover firmly, is to tie
baby ribbon around the roll, finishing with a pretty
bow on top.
Small Savory Molds
If there is sufficient cold game at hand, left over,
it will answer the purpose. Free the meat from bones
and skin, season it to taste with salt, cayenne and
pounded mace, and cut into small, neat dice; cut also
in like fashion about two-thirds the weight of lean
cooked ham, and have ready some clear, nicely flavored
aspic jelly✪ Small Savory Molds in a liquid form. Take the required num-
ber of small cup moulds, and pour a little of the jelly
in the bottom of each; when this has stiffened, put
in some of the game and sprinkle it over with rough
chopped parsley and hard boiled egg, then cover with
part of the ham, and repeat in this manner until the
moulds are sufficiently full — always remembering to
put in the meat quite 'loosely. Fill up the moulds to
the top with jelly, and set in a cool place until firm.
Turn out and arrange on a pretty dish; lay a dainty
little shape of red currant jelly on the top of each
mould; garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
These molds are equally delightful if made with a
mixture of veal and ham, ham and chicken, or lobster —
only in case of lobster being used, the hard boiled egg
would be dispensed with, and the seasoning must be
appropriate.
Anchovy Fingers
Rub two ounces of butter into six of fine sifted flour
until smooth, then add a teaspoonful of anchovy es-
sence, a pinch of cayenne, a well-beaten egg, and as

much cold water as will form the whole into a nice,
light paste;✪ Anchovy Fingers roll this out very thin, prick it closely
with a fork, cut it in strips about two and a half
inches long by one and a quarter wide, and bake en a
baking sheet, in a moderate oven until done. When
quite cold put the fingers together in twos with a layer
of anchovy butter between, and brush the top over
with a little liquid aspic jelly; before this has time
to set, sprinkle part of the fingers very lightly with
some very finely minced parsley; part of the yolk of
a hard-boiled egg rubbed through a sieve; others
with lobster coral, and the remainder with the white
of the egg very finely chopped, or cut in tiny strips.
When the jelly has become quite firm, dish up the
fingers in twos, on small plates, taking great care to
make the colors contrast prettily; garnish tastefully
with sprigs of fresh parsley and serve.

Anchovy Fingers
Rub two ounces of butter into six of fine sifted flour until smooth, then add a teaspoonful of anchovy essence, a pinch of cayenne, a well-beaten egg, and as
much cold water as will form the whole into a nice, light paste; roll this out very thin, prick it closely with a fork, cut it in strips about two and a half inches long by one and a quarter wide, and bake on a baking sheet, in a moderate oven until done.
