This recipe will introduce you to an inexpensive gourmet treat.

Preparation: Flake crab meat into strands, removing any cartilage. Mix
with sherry. Wash onions; remove roots and greens; finely mince white
part. Wash and pat dry lettuce leaves; arrange on round serving plate. In a
mixing bowl, beat egg whites. When eggs begin to stiff- en, slowly add

egg mixture, carefully folding and turning while eggs become firm. Remove
