"'My poor body will never fetch ten thousand livres, says I; 'and a pretty field in Normandy with a cottage... "'And an orchard. Ah, sacre bleu! says Museau, whimpering, 'and a dish of tripe a la mode du pays!..."
A piece is cut off the damnable tripe with a pair of shears used in a tin shop for cutting sheet iron, and it is handed to the victim. He tries to cut it, and fails; he tries to gnaw it off, and if he succeeds in getting a mouthful, that settles him. He leaves his tripe on his plate, and it is gathered up and sewed on the original piece, and is kept for another banquet.
Such meat is unfit for human consumption, and the eating of it insures disease. We come now to another form of meat, that of edible ENTRAILS. This includes Tripe, Haslet, or lights, &c. More nitrogen is found here than in any other portion of the meat. The cheap and abundant supply in this country has made us, as a people, reject all but the liver.
Mercedes Cauliflower is summering at Narragansett Pier, and her fiance, Mr. Peter Cuckoobird, is dancing attendance upon her. It will be remembered that Mercedes is the daughter and heiress of Jacob Cauliflower, the millionaire manufacturer of boneless tripe, which has become quite a fad in Society since the Beef Trust got chesty.
Why can't ye let me wash my guts and tripe, And sell my sausages in peace and quiet? DEM. O simple mortal, cast those thoughts aside! Bid guts and tripe farewell! Look here! Behold! I see 'em.
Put the onions into the melted butter, and boil them up at once. If you wish to have them very mild, put in a turnip with them at the first boiling. Young white onions, if very small, need not be chopped, but may be put whole into the butter. Use this sauce for rabbits, tripe, boiled poultry, or any boiled fresh meat. Slice some large mild Spanish onions.
Ketch, and to other of the initiated in tripe mysteries, it was generally thought advisable, by good housewives, to give the tripe a boil up at home, lest it should have become cold in its transit from the vendor's. The girl threw open the door of the small parlour, and told him he might sit down if he liked; sh: did not overburden the gentleman with civility. "Missis'll be here soon," said she.
"And the way they cook tripe! I couldn't stomach it, could you? And if there's anything I am partial to it's a good dish of tripe! And their light beer like drinking froth! And their bread why, it ain't bread! It's chips! 'Taint fit for civilized folks!" "But I sort of got used to their ways," said Tom. "Eh? eh?"
To show his love of equality, he had previously served as a common man in a company of which the captain was a fellow that sold cats' meat and tripe in the streets of Rome, and the lieutenant a scullion of his mother's kitchen. Since Imperial aristocracy is now become the order of the day, he is as insupportable for his pride and vanity as he, some years ago, was contemptible for his meanness.
The camp had the same dead level of squalor in appearance, the same twisting, wriggling, reckless life in its streets. "Fine new lot of stuff in," the trader said, pushing his goods in a brisk way. "Never been a finer lot of stuff brought into any camp than I've got here now. Canned tomatoes, canned corn, canned beans, canned meat, canned tripe, canned salmon. That's a pretty big layout, eh?
