Stir it well to prevent curdling. _Sauce for cold Fowl or Partridge._ Rub down in a mortar the yelks of two eggs boiled hard, an anchovy, two dessert spoonfuls of oil, a little shalot, and a teaspoonful of mustard, (all should be pounded before the oil be added) then strain it. _Vinagret for cold Fowl or Meat._ Chop fine mint, parsley, and shalot, and add salt, oil, and vinegar.

Serve in a saucer. _To melt Butter._ On a clean trencher, mix a little flour to a large piece of butter, in the proportion of a teaspoonful to a full quarter of a pound; then put into a saucepan, and pour on it two large spoonfuls of hot water; set it on the fire, and let it boil quick.

Many prefer the flavour of the lobster and salt only. _Shrimp Sauce._ If not picked at home, pour a little water over to wash, and put them to butter melted thick and smooth: give them one boil, and add the juice of lemon. _Anchovy
