Dredge some large oysters with pepper and squeeze the juice of a lemon over them.

Cut large slices of fat bacon as thin as possible. Roll up two oysters together in each slice, run a skewer through diagonally and put six such rolls on each skewer crowded together to allow for shrinkage. Bake in the top of the oven for a few minutes, the skewers resting on the edge of a pan with the oysters raised above the drippings. Finish on the broiler. Serve on the skewers on buttered toast in a dish, and if common skewers are used slip a ring of fringed paper on the end.

Cost of material - 12 large oysters 15, l lb bacon 15, toast 2, lemon 2, table extras and potatoes 6; 40 cents.
