*DIRECTIONS*

To cook terrapins: Boil a few and pick them, cutting
out the gall bladder, which is attached to the liver.
Be sure not to break the gall sac. Reserve the eggs,
and put all to stew with 1/2 pint of claret, and
rather more Madeira, until done.

Force egg yolks through a sieve, then cream then with
butter. Scald cream over hot water, add seasonings,
and beat in egg yolk and butter mixture. Add terrapin
and sherry, and heat thoroughly.
