The Sense Of Smell, Like A Faithful

A Connoisseur Of Gastronomy Was Congratulated On His Appointment As A Director Of Indirect Contributions At Periguex: And, Above All, In The Pleasure There Would Be In Living In The Midst Of Good Cheer, In The Country Of Truffles, Partridges, Truffled Turkeys, And So Forth. "alas!" Replied With A Sigh The Sad Gastronomer, "can One Really Live At All In A Country Where There Is No Fresh Sea-fish?"

For Unknown Foods, The Nose Acts Always As A Sentinal And Cries. 'who Goes There?'

At The Table Of A Gentleman Living In The Chausee D'antin Was Served Up An Arles Sausage Of Enormous Size. "will You Accept A Slice?" The Host Asked A Lady Who Was Sitting Next To Him; "you See It Has Come From The Right Factory."it Is Really Very Large," Said The Lady, Casting On It A Roguish Glance; "what A Pity It Is Unlike Anything."

La Truffe N'est Point Un Aphrodisiaque Positif; Mais Elle Peut, En Certaines Occasions, Rendre Les Femmes Plus Tendres Et Les Hommes Plus Aimables. The Truffle Is Not A True Aphrodisiac; But In Certain Circumstances It Can Make Women More Affectionate And Men More Attentive.

Let The Progress Of The Meal Be Slow, For Dinner Is The Last Business Of The Day; And Let The Guests Conduct Themselves Like Travelers Due To Reach Their Destination Together.
