The same Lobster or Crab in pottage. Take all of the raw meat out, &
cut into little pieces, & put to stew with white wine, fresh butter,
ground nutmeg, a little pepper, chopped mint, or fresh citron cut into
slices, & make it stew well, that it will be fat with butter, & put it
when well cooked into little reumers, & serve so five or six to a plate.
