Pigs in Blankets

Pigs in Blankets

Ingredients:
15 large oysters.
15 very thin slices of bacon.

Directions:
Sprinkle each oyster with a very little salt and pepper. Trim the rind from the bacon and wrap each oyster in
one slice, pinning this ``blanket'' tightly on the back with a tiny Japanese wooden toothpick. Have ready a hot
frying−pan, and lay in five oysters, and cook till the bacon is brown and the edges of the oysters curl, turning
each over once. Put these on a hot plate in the oven with the door open, and cook five more, and so on. Put
them on a long, narrow platter, with slices of lemon and sprigs of parsley around. Or you can put each one on
a strip of toast which you have dipped in the gravy in the pan; this is the better way. This dish must be eaten
very hot, or it will not be good.
