Put a can of salmon in a dish to bake, a lump of butter the size of a walnut, pepper and salt, and fill up the dish with milk. Put some cracker crumbs and a little butter on the top, and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

You can get cracker crumbs by rolling some hard tack with a rolling-pin. Or a bottle makes a pretty good roller on a clean board if you have no bread board.
