To Boil Lobster

There are comparatively few who ever have anything to do with a lobster until after it has been boiled; but for the benefit of the few I insert this. Be sure that the lobster is living; if not, it is not fit for use. Have a kettle of boiling water; into this drop the lobster, and boil until the shell turns red. This takes about an hour. Take up, and when cold it is fit to eat.

Stewed Lobster

Take out all the meat from the shell. Chop it, but not fine. Put into a basin with a little salt, pepper, butter, and half a cup of water to a small lobster. Stew about ten minutes.

Curried Lobster

Prepare the lobster as for stew; when it comes to a boil, add a mixture of a heaping teaspoonful of flour, and half a teaspoonful of Indian curry mixed with cold water. Let this boil eight minutes, then serve.
