All this she placed on a table before the sofa, and left the little drawing-room with gloomy eye, but firm foot. Kranitski sprang up from the sofa. "My dearest friends, I beg you take a glass of liqueur, that which thou lovest, baron Maryan, a little of the pate de foie gras " But they touched their watches simultaneously. "No, no!" began the baron, refusing, "we have only three minutes left."
When the foie gras was finished she got up, but I stopped her, for the dinner was only half over. "I will stay then," said she, "but I am afraid my father will object." "Very good. Call your master," I said to the maid who came in at that moment, "I have a word to speak to him."
I have since been sorry that I did not interview this truffle-hunter as to his methods and as to his dog, for I believe he is no longer to be seen in his old haunts. But I did get a pound or two to try, and was disappointed by the absence of flavour. I have since read that the English truffle is considered very inferior to the French, which is used in making pâté de foie gras.
Drop a Parisian in the provinces, and you drop a part of Paris with him. Drop him in Senegambia, and in three days he will give you an omelette soufflee, or a pate de foie gras, served by the neatest of Senegambian filles, whom he will call mademoiselle. In three weeks he will give you an opera. N N. was not dropped in Senegambia, but in San Francisco, quite as awkward.
Pour this sauce over the snipe in the sauté pan, and let it get hot without boiling; pile the pieces in a pyramid; meanwhile chop the trail, mix with half the quantity of pâté de foie gras and a little salt and pepper; spread this on croûtons, bake, and use them to garnish the snipe. Fillets of Teal with Anchovies. Remove the breasts from a pair of teal after they have been three parts roasted.
At twenty minutes to seven we were about 2500 metres above the earth, and cold and hunger commenced to make themselves felt. The dinner was copious we had foie gras, fresh bread, and oranges. The cork of our champagne bottle flew up into the clouds with a pretty, soft noise. We raised our glasses in honour of M. Giffard. We had talked a great deal. Night began to put on her heavy dark mantle.
There were other dishes too, round ones and oval ones, containing spiced tongue, truffled galantine, and a boar's head stuffed with pistachio nuts; while close to her, in reach of her hand, stood some yellow earthen pans containing larded veal, pate de foie gras, and hare-pie.
Certain animals in Europe do have the most delicious diseases anyway notably the calf and the goose, particularly the goose of Strasburg, where the pate de foie gras comes from. The engorged liver of a Strasburg goose must be a source of joy to all except its original owner! Several times we went back to the little restaurant round the corner from the market, and each time we had something good.
Every one heard her speak, and to her amazement and confusion her words produced one of those appalling silences which are remembered through life by those who have accidentally caused them. Cecilia looked at Guido, and he was gravely occupied in digging the little bits of truffle out of some pâté de foie gras on his plate, for he did not like truffles. Not a muscle of his face moved.
Round the army continues the often busy life of the village, for to many such a hamlet the presence of a multitude of soldiers is a great economic boon. Grocery-shops, in particular, do a rushing business, for any soldier who has a sou is glad to vary the government menu with such delicacies as pâtés de foie gras, little sugar biscuits, and the well- beloved tablet of chocolate.
