Hello Eva,
I could not locate a modern recipe. The only one that I could find was this
old one from the 1800's:
"Wash 1 gallon ripe persimmons. Mash well and add 1/2 cup cornmeal. Add
5 gallons water and 2 cups sugar. Let set until fruit rises to top (3 to
4 days). Stain, bottle and seal. (Clear, light colored, fizzy. Fill
bottles 2/3 ......... Explosive!)"

Hi Toni,
Surely. See below.
Phaed
Lobster Mashed Potatoes
Braddock's Tavern, Medford, NJ
Servings: 4
2 pounds Idaho potatoes
1/4 pound bacon, diced
2 lobster tails (8 ounces each), finely diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup butter
Salt and pepper
Scrub potatoes and place in a large pot. Add enough salted water to cover by
at least 1 inch. Simmer, uncovered, over moderate heat until an inserted
knife comes away easily, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and cool to handle.
While potatoes are cooling, cook bacon until crisp in a large saute pan over
medium high heat. Add lobster. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until lobster is
cooked through. Stir in chives. Remove from heat and reserve.
Bring milk to a boil. Remove from heat and reserve.
Peel potatoes. Pass potatoes through the finest grid of a food mill into a
mixing bowl. Slowly stir in heated milk and butter. Fold in lobster mixture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
