Alcohol Is The Monarch Of Liquids.

Nothing Is More Pleasant Than To See A Pretty Woman, Her Napkin Well Placed Under Her Arms, One Of Her Hands On The Table, While The Other Carries To Her Mouth, The Choice Piece So Elegantly Carved.

The Centuries Last Passed Have Also Given The Taste Important Extension; The Discovery Of Sugar, And Its Different Preparations, Of Alcoholic Liquors, Of Wine, Ices, Vanilla, Tea And Coffee, Have Given Us Flavors Hitherto Unknown.

Meals, In The Sense In Which We Understand This Word, Began With The Second Age Of The Human Species.

Those Truffled Turkeys, Of Which The Reputation And The Price Are Still Increasing, Appear Like Beneficient Stars, And Make The Eyes Sparkle Of All Sorts Of Gourmands Of Every Category, Whilst Their Faces Beam With Delight And They Themselves Dance With Pleasure.

Dear Gourmands! My Bowels Yearn Towards Them As A Father's Toward His Children. They Are So Good Natured! They Have Such Sparkling Eyes!
