Steps:

• Turn on broiler.
• Mix all ingredients and-if this is 1959-put into scallop shells.
• Run under broiler until brown and shiny, and serve with tiny cocktail forks. If you are less retro, put on any sturdy cracker or black bread.
• Run under broiler. Invariably devoured.
• The capers:
• Rinse capers and soak in fresh water. After 1/2 hour, change water and soak for another 1/2 hour. Remove capers and pat very dry.
• Heat oil and fry capers in 2 batches, until quite crisp and lightly browned, about 30 seconds each.
• Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
• Garnish the above or just serve in a bowl.
