RECIPE

Procure five small round dinner rolls (farthing rolls), cut
each in equal halves, scoop out the crumbs, and set them to
dry. Mince coarsely about twenty prawns, together with
the white part of a small head of celery, a tablespoonful
of mixed pickles, and two small truffles ; season this mix-
ture with some stiff mayonnaise sauce, into which a little
parsley, fennel leaves, tarragon leaves, and a small shallot (all
finely-chopped) have been introduced ; stir gently, and add
a dessertspoonful of tomato puree and a teaspoonful of
prepared mustard. Put this mixture into the prepared rolls,
finishing with a layer of aspic or savoury jelly on each, and
garnishing the surface with strips of hard-boiled white of egg,
strips of truffles, and parsley. Serve on small round dishes.
