Recipe requests

Debbie Day is looking for a recipe for a topping her grandmother put on an 8-inch-square cake. She remembers it as a marshmallow topping that was drizzled with an unsweetened dark chocolate, which hardened.

It was more than 40 years ago, so Debbie is not sure it was marshmallow.

Ava Custer is searching for a recipe for lobster pot. It was made with chunks of lobster, butter and ingredients she does not remember. She would greatly appreciate a recipe.

Claire Schelle requests a recipe for tea biscuits. She remembers them being available in bakeries in Philadelphia.

They have a yellowish tinge, are mildly sweet, and had raisins and a different texture from regular biscuits.
