Remove the spongy parts under the side joints and the aprons from twelve medium, fresh soft-shell crabs. Wash in cold water to entirely free them from sand, drain on a cloth, season with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon pepper, dip in cold milk and lightly roll in flour, then plunge in boiling fat and fry for seven minutes, or until of a nice golden colour. Lift up, drain on a cloth, sprinkle half teaspoon salt over, arrange on six freshly prepared toasts and decorate with six quarters of lemon and a little fried or green parsley.

Prepare and keep hot the same amount of beans as in No. 484.

Procure three three-quarter-pound steaks from a leg of tender spring lamb. Make a few incisions all around the skin and season all over with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon pepper. Heat a tablespoon butter in a frying pan, add the steaks, one beside another, and fry for six minutes on each side. Remove the steaks, dress the beans on a large dish and arrange the steaks over. Pour a gill of tomato sauce (No. 16) in the pan in which the steaks were cooked, add half teaspoon freshly chopped parsley, lightly mix, boil for five minutes, then pour over the steaks and serve.
