Cut the crab meat into small pieces. Take butter the size of an egg, add a teaspoonful of chopped onion or shallot. Fry to a golden brown. Add a heaping teaspoonful of flour and a small teaspoonful of curry powder, stirring into the butter and onion until thoroughly mixed. Add the crab meat and simmer slowly for about five minutes. Serve with boiled rice.

Very appetizing first course.
1 lb. can crab meat, half as much celery hearts, cut small, 2 tablespoons boiled mayonnaise. Juice of one lemon and enough cocktail ketchup of any good brand to color a good pink and give a spicy taste. Serve in tall stemmed glasses, with spring parsley and warm wafers.
