[Sca-cooks] Lobster in Period

[Daniel And elizabeth phelps]

While it is slightly later that period Martha Washington's Book of Cookery has a pepper butter sauce for boiled shrimp that Karen Hess writes is a typical 17th century sauce.  

Will check other texts.

Subject: [Sca-cooks] Lobster in Period

I am currently working on a menu for an A&S entry and am trying to do some research on lobster in period.  Does anyone have any sources on which species might be correct?  I am finding documentation on Homarus Gammarus (common European lobster) from 1708, but haven't seen anything earlier.

Thanks!

Aline
