OYSTER PATTIES

CUT oysters in quarter pieces and scald in their own juice. Into

a separate pan put 2 tablespoonsful of butter and the same of

flour. Mix to a smooth paste and slowly add half a pint of oyster

liquor and half a pint of milk. Add oysters, season to taste, and

bring to a boil just once. Heat the beaten yolks of two eggs and

add slowly to mixture, removed from the fire. Stir well and fill

the required number of pattie shells.

OYSTER LOAF

Listen carefully. This is good. It comes to us out of a hazy

mess of merriment and we think it goes something like this:

Pry a flock of oysters. As they are cooking, remove the ends

of a fresh loaf of French bread and scoop out most of the soft centre.

Pack it firmly with the hot fried oysters and cut in thick slices.

Serve with dills and strong coffee.
