    Title: Mock Oyster Cakes
    Categories: Vegetarian
    Yield: 1 Batch

    Salsify; boiled
    Mashed potato
    Seasoning
    Egg
    Plasmon
    - (whey protein powder)
    Bread crumbs
    White sauce
    Black pepper; freshly ground
    Cayenne
    Salt
    Lemon juice

    Divide the salsify into small pieces of about the size of half an
    oyster and mix with half as much carefully-mashed potato; season well
    with freshly-ground black pepper, cayenne, salt, and a squeeze of
    lemon-juice, and add sufficient stiff white sauce to slightly moisten
    the mixture and add a small quantity of beaten egg. Spread the
    mixture out on a flat dish for 1 to 2 hours; then take less than 1 tb
    at a time and roll it into a little ball on a floured board. Flatten
    the balls so that they take the form of little round cakes, dip them
    into beaten egg, and cover thickly with dry Plasmon powder and bread
    crumbs, which have been seasoned with salt, black pepper, and
    cayenne; press them lightly between the hands to make the powder and
    crumbs adhere, and after allowing about 20 minutes for the latter to
    dry, fry the cakes in deep, boiling oil or vegetable fat, and serve
    garnished with fried parsley and little pieces of lemon. The potatoes
    should be baked in their skins, and then sieved and beaten to a stiff
    paste with a little cream, as the cakes would be spoilt if the potato
    mixture was moist and watery.
