Lobster canape. Cut the tail of a lobster in thin slices and lay on four pieces of toast. Cover with thick well-seasoned mayonnaise, and garnish the edges with chopped hard-boiled eggs and chopped parsley. Serve on a folded napkin, and garnish with parsley in branches and two lemons cut in half.
Scrambled eggs, Mauresque. Cut some Lyon sausage and boiled ham in small dices, put in a casserole with a piece of butter, and heat. Then add the beaten eggs, cream, and a little salt and pepper. Scramble in the usual manner, and serve in a deep china dish.
Potage Nassau. Peel eight white onions, and put in a casserole with one quart of water and a little salt. Boil for twenty minutes, and then drain off the water. Heat three ounces of butter in another casserole; then add three spoonfuls of flour, heat through; then add one pint of milk and one quart of bouillon and the onions, and boil for forty minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, put back in casserole, season with salt and Cayenne pepper, and stir-in three ounces of sweet butter. When the butter is melted, serve hot, with small crusts of bread cut in small squares, and fried in butter.
