Slice fresh tomatoes and spread in layers in a baking dish. Sprinkle each layer with salt, pepper, curry powder, sugar and dots of butter, and lastly a layer of crumbs and butter. Bake until tomatoes are tender. Five minutes before taking out pour over them a cupful of whipped cream slightly sweetened.
Cut a thin slice from top and bottom, then cut in 2 or 3 slices (rather thick). Dip each in seasoned flour, and fry in 4 tablespoonfuls of butter, half an hour or more. When done lift out and keep very hot. Put a large tablespoonful of flour in the pan, stirring until it browns. Add slowly 1 cup of milk. Cook smooth and pour over the tomatoes.
Take 6 tablespoonfuls of butter, 1/2 teaspoonful onion juice, 1 tablespoonful vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon mustard, 1 teaspoonful of salt, a speck of cayenne, and the yolks of 2 eggs.
Cut the ends off of 5 or 6 large tomatoes, slice and fry in 4 tablespoonfuls of butter.
Mix and blend the other ingredients and put them in a double boiler. Add the beaten yolks, just as you take the sauce from the fire. Turn over the tomatoes and serve hot.
