Roll oysters in meal, salt and pepper, and fry until crisp and golden. Place a layer of oysters on bottom of loaf followed by small amounts of mustard pickle and ketchup. Press the garnish of olives and lemon slices amongst the oysters. Add more oysters and repeat the process until the loaf is filled. Replace top, reheat briefly in oven, and serve by slicing loaf into several pieces. Yield: 3 to 5 servings per loaf.
