Delmonico Stew Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Delmonico Stew Recipe, first cook four slices of bacon slowly, removing the fat as fast as possible. When the bacon is done and dry, dry it more by keeping it warm on a piece of brown wrapping paper. Put back into the blazer a little of the fat and add two cups of the meat of frogs' legs scraped from the bones, and add one cup of oyster crabs. Cook until tender, then add the bacon cut in small pieces and serve. For those who can afford oyster crabs and are not too squeamish to eat them, this dish is most acceptable.
