Lobster to Farce: When the Lobster is half boil'd, take out the Meat, and mince it, season it with some Cloves and Mace beaten, and minced sweet Herbs mingled among the Meat; then put Yolks of Eggs, Gooseberries, Grapes and Barberries; sometimes the Bot∣toms of boiled Artichoaks cut Dice-fashion are used, or boil'd Asparagus; others will min∣gle Almond-paste with the rest; but however, when the Composition is fixed, fill the Lobster-shells, viz. Claws, Tail and Body, and bake it in an Oven not very hot; make for it a Sauce with Gravy and White-wine: beat it up with sweet Butter, the Juice of an Orange, and Anchovy dis∣solv'd in a little Water. To this Farcing you may some∣times put Almond-paste, Cur∣rans, Gooseberries and Sugar, and make Balls with them to lay about the Dish, and then serve it up with Venison-Sauce.
