RECIPE

11. Spanish Crusts (Croutons a Espagnole).
Stamp out eighteen round slices of white bread about
an inch and a half in diameter and one-eighth of an inch
thick. Fry these in clarified butter, and drain them on a
cloth. Stone the same number of large Spanish olives by
means of a sharp column-cutter (tube-cutter), fill them with
stiff Tartar sauce, put a little of the sauce in the centre
of each crouton, place an olive on each of them, curl an
anchovy fillet round each olive, garnish the sides with finely-
chopped hard-boiled egg, lobster coral, and sprigs of parsley.
Keep in a cool place until required for the table.
