I know not why it is that we should look and act so very disgracefully abroad; but I never meet in any spot out of this happy island, a single Englishman, without instinctively blushing for my native country. "Garcon, garcon," cried a stout gentleman, who made one of three at the table next to us. "Donnez-nous une sole frite pour un, et des pommes de terre pour trois!"
Philip sent the waiter for a bottle of Burgundy from the neighbouring tavern, and they had a potage aux herbes, a steak from the window aux pommes, and an omelette au kirsch. There was really an air of romance in the meal and in the place.
There were potatoes, which the habitant called palates and not pommes de terre, but they were almost a rarity until the closing days of the Old Régime. Wild fruits, chiefly raspberries, blueberries, and wild grapes, grew in abundance among the foothills and were gathered in great quantities every summer.
With an economy worthy of Silhouette, the scamp had taught Adrienne for that was the beast's name to bray every time he said "Pommes de terre, de terre terre!" As often as he said this, or "Chante, Adrienne, chante!" Adrienne would switch her tail and chante lugubriously, setting the whole neighborhood in commotion.
All Paris will throng to your fêtes next Sunday and Monday all Paris, with its inexhaustible appetite for bifteck aux pommes frites all Paris with its unquenchable thirst for absinthe and Bavarian beer!

Dis-moi ce que tu desires et je te le donnerai.

In the citadel of Verdun it seemed as if it must have been evolved by rubbing Aladdin's lamp, and I said so as I read it over: Huîtres d'Ostende Bisque d'Écrevisses Sanglier rôti Purée de Pommes de Terre Soufflée de Chocolat Fruits Bonbons "Oh, we've never been hungry at Verdun, even when things were at their liveliest," said the officer sitting next to me.
"And may I take the liberty of expressing my sentiments freely?" "Of course you may." "Dear sir, you have a pretty little simple dinner to-day," Toff began. "Forgive me for praising myself, I am influenced by the natural pride of having cooked the dinner. For soup, you have Croute au pot; for meat, you have Tourne-dos a la sauce poivrade; for pudding, you have Pommes au beurre.
They were interrupted by a waiter, who removed the soup-plates with studied dexterity, and substituted Tronçon de turbotin Duglère; pommes vapeur, the dish which had delivered the fatal blow against the Cabinet Minister's digestive armour.
