We have already seen in the Moretum the countryman adding to his store of bread by a hotch-potch made of vegetables, and the reader of the poem will have been astonished at the number mentioned, including garden herbs for flavouring purposes.
What a hotch-potch of races, so to speak, all in one boat, but ready to do anything rather than pull together; even here, between stem and stern of our Danube steamer, are Magyars, Germans, Servians, Croats, Roumanians, Jews, and gipsies.
I dare say you have guessed that I have a new journal in my head: the Pallanza Iris is to be the name of it; to be printed in three colours, to advocate three principles, in three styles. The Legitimists, the Moderates, and the Republicans are to proclaim themselves in its columns in prose, poetry, and hotch-potch. Once an editor, always an editor.

It will prepare a "fundamental plan" of the whole United States, showing the centre of each industry and the main runways of traffic.
He dared not admit it and pretended to be friendly towards young talent; in fact, whenever he was brought a work built on the old lines a sort of hotch-potch of works that had been new fifty years before he would receive it very well, and would even produce it ostentatiously and force it upon the public.
The truth being that Isabella, like so many of her sex who lead solitary lives, had constructed for herself a curious philosophy out of the hotch-potch of maxims, theories, prejudices and principles which she called her opinions, and it had at any rate the merit of being a philosophy of self-sacrifice and self-control.
"It is her house, and she has that right, certainly. The question is whether I am willing to allow the world to point to an architectural hotch-potch and call it mine."
