A little more politics and Plato, and the natural disappears altogether from Mr. Bulwer's writings: the individual man becomes as undistinguishable amidst the farrago of philosophy in which he has chosen to envelope himself, as a cutlet in the sauces of a French cook.
Womanlike, my eyes were everywhere, and I presently spied out an empty bottle, labelled "Worcestershire Sauce." "Dear me, Salter," I cried, "I had no idea you were so grand as to have sauces up here: why we hardly ever use them."
His manner was quite as discouraging as it had been from the start. "Honey," interposed Willock, "that ain't to say a lie, not a real lie." "IS it a hand-organ?" Lahoma demanded sternly. "In a manner of speaking, honey, it is a hand-organ in the sense of shutting you off from asking questions. You learn to distinguish the sauces of speech as you gets older.
A wave of desire for furious fleshly enjoyments went through him, making him want steaming dishes of food drenched in rich, spice-flavored sauces; making him want to get drunk on strong wine; to roll on thick carpets in the arms of naked, libidinous women.
The ingredients for compound sauces should be so nicely proportioned, that no one may be predominant, but that there may be an equal union of the combined flavours. All sauces should be sent to table as hot as possible, for nothing is more unsightly than the surface of a sauce in a frozen state, or garnished with grease on the top.

White-wine for this use is generally preferred. To Stew Truffles after another manner. Besides this way, they may be used in the same manner as Fowls are stewed or fricasseed, with brown or white Sauces, after they have been soften'd a little by boiling. While I am speaking of the Truffle, I may well enough mention the Receipts for the management of the Morille.
Pungent sauces of vinegar, verjuice, and wine were very much favoured, and cloves, cinnamon, galingale, pepper, and ginger appear unexpectedly in meat dishes. Almonds were a favourite ingredient in all sorts of dishes, as they still are in China and other parts of the East, and they might well be used more lavishly than they are in modern European cookery.
Among cold sauces, of course mayonnaise, both green, red, and yellow, reigns supreme; indeed, of late years it has become almost hackneyed. Yet no work on choice eating would be complete without the different forms of mayonnaise.
"Ah, may thy tongue wither!" answered the boatman. "Dost Thou not see that he must be a great lord: he pays well and strikes heavily." "I saw at once," answered the official, "that he must be some great person. My youth passed at feasts with noted persons."
