Servings: persons

4 avocados Ripe
15 ounces crab meat picked through, OR 1 lb fresh
8 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 drops worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup celery stalks Finely minced, peeled
salt depending on the saltiness of the crab meat
1 pinch white pepper
1 pinch cayenne
1 dash Tabasco
1 head iceberg lettuce
2 lemons

1
Split the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. With a melon-ball cutter, gently enlarge the cavity toward the stem end. Enlarging the cavity of the avocados with a melon-ball cutter has two purposes; you have the subtle taste of the pulp in the crab mixture, and it is easier to arrange the filling without making it messy.
2
With a fork, mash the avocado pulp which was removed.
3
Mix the pulp with 4 tablespoons of the mayonnaise, salt if needed, pepper and cayenne or Tabasco. Gently fold in the crab meat and the celery.
4
Divide the crab mixture among the eight avocado halves.
5
Mix the Worcestershire sauce with the remaining 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise. With a pastry bag or a cone made from wax paper, pipe approximately 1/2 tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture on each filled avocado half.
6
Remove the outside leaves of the iceberg lettuce. Arrange the leaves on a serving platter. Cut the inside part of the lettuce into very thin strips and make 8 small nests on the leaves lining the serving platter. Place an avocado half on each nest.
7
Cut each lemon in quarters and garnish the serving platter with the slices of lemon. Serve. If desired, offer additional mayonnaise separately.
