In a Letter to Oliver Yorke, Esq.”, in Fraser’s Magazine for Town and Country, volume XXIII, number CXXXVIII, London: James Fraser, […], →OCLC, page 715, column 2:Any dispute about the relative excellence of the beefsteak cut from the filet, as is usual in France, and of the entrecote, must henceforth be idle and absurd. Whenever, my dear young friend, you go to Paris, call at once for the entrecote; the filet in comparison to it is a poor fade lady's meat.

The tail is souped, baked, and tested in its turn; the brain is submitted to a French fry, and the entrecotes to a broil with onions.
