Bisque of Lobster.
Meat of one boiled lobster, or a can of preserved lobster.
1 quart of milk.
1 quart of boiling water.
½ cup rolled cracker.
4 tablespoonfuls of butter.
Pepper (cayenne) and salt.
Pound the coral and other soft parts of the lobster to a paste, and simmer five minutes in the boiling water; then rub through a colander back into the water. Cut the rest of the lobster-meat into dice, and put into a saucepan with the cracker-crumbs. Pour the red water over them, and heat to a boil, when add pepper, salt, and the butter. Simmer, covered, half an hour, taking care it does not scorch. Heat the milk, with a pinch of soda, in another vessel, and after the lobster is in the tureen, pour this in, boiling hot. Pass sliced lemon with it.
