Everything is delicious; game, fish, birds, meat, vegetables, fruit, milk, and truffles all are worthy of the table of the greatest gourmets, and the wines of the country yield to none. What a pity that strangers do not enjoy liberty at Turin! It is true that better society, and more politeness, such as are found in several French and Italian towns, are to be wished for.
"I can only give you eggs, boiled in the kettle, coffee and bread and butter. The fish haven't come in yet." "What can be nicer than eggs especially when boiled in the kettle, that is, if you make the coffee first" "Certainly I do." "And it is really French coffee?" "Really. Cafe des Gourmets, you know; we I always use it do not like any other." Amherst was fast falling in love.

To offer ordure to an epicure! It required, if not precisely the truffle known to our chefs and gourmets, at least its equivalent. This characteristic I grasped only after patient investigation. At the southern foot of the hills of Sérignan, not far from the village, is a wood of maritime pines alternating with rows of cypress.
There was a time when he would not have known whether he was eating beef or pork with you the other side of the table. Whose fault is it? Don't think so poorly of us. We are not ascetics, neither are we all gourmets: most of us plain men, fond of our dinner, as a healthy man should be, but fonder still of our sweethearts and wives, let us hope. Try us.
We have heard much of Dunstable larks but the enthusiasm with which gourmets speak of these tit-bits of luxury, is far exceeded by the Germans, who travel to Leipsic from a distance of many hundred miles, merely to eat a dinner of larks, and then return contented and peaceful to their families.
Were there anything to do, he wished to do it, let it be what it might. "Cedant arma togæ." If anything was written on his heart, it was that. Yet he loved the idea of leading an army, and panted for a military triumph. As far as I can judge, he cared nothing for luxurious eating and drinking, and yet he wished to be reckoned among the gormands and gourmets of his times.
Here have congregated the world's greatest chefs, and when one exclaims in ecstasy over a wonderful flavor found in some dingy restaurant, let him not be surprised if he learn that the chef who concocted the dish boasts royal decoration for tickling the palate of some epicurean ruler of foreign land. And why should San Francisco have achieved this distinction in the minds of the gourmets?
The explosion duly arrived from the assembled gourmets, I, myself, I am sorry to say, leading the rebellion. "I put seeks terrapin in zat soup!" exclaimed The Frenchman, quite losing his usual good English in his excitement. We reproached him. We denounced him. He was driven from the field. But he bore us no malice.
Now and then chance makes of a grizzly a hunter of caribou, goat, sheep, deer, and even moose. Such was Thor. And such, in days to come, would Muskwa be, even though he was a black and not of the family Ursus Horribilis Ord. For an hour the two feasted, not in the ravenous way of hungry dogs, but in the slow and satisfying manner of gourmets.
