So long as a fair amount of ordinary butcher's meat could be procured, he did not complain; but when it came to eating horseflesh two or three times a week he could not undertake it, although, only a year or two previously, he had attended a great banquet hippophagique given in Paris, and had then even written favourably of viande de cheval in an article he prepared on the subject.
Do not carry a morsel to your mouth, knife in hand, like the rustics. 96th. Chapter viii. 21. Il est messeant de se baisser beaucoup sur son escuelle ou sur la viande, c'est assez de s'encliner vn peu lors que l'on porte le morceau trempé
Wherever the viande passed, the soldiers ported arms. Mademoiselle de Montalais and her companion had watched from their window the details of this ceremony, to which, by the bye, they must have been pretty well accustomed.

He is as keen about the good things of the table as he is about art; in fact, he is a great epicure. As he thought well of the menu, I will copy it for you: Consomme en tasses. Oeufs au fromage a l'Italienne. Petites truites. Cailles au riz. Cotelettes de veau grillees. Viande froide, salade. Brioches a la vanille, fruits, dessert, cafe....
Morsels of viande, so alternated that the appetite was prolonged each dish seeming a better variation of the preceding were helped toward digestion by the finest vintages of Burgundy; and the luscious patés de foie gras for which the plumpest geese in Bretagne had been invalids all their days, and, if gossip be true, submitted in the end to a slow roasting alive introduced the fish, which, by the then reformed Parisian mode, must appear after, not before, the entrée.
Ernest Lefevre, who was dining beside me: De ces bons animaux la viande me fait mal. J'aime tant les chevaux que je hais le cheval. February 4. The weather is becoming milder.
