A COSMOPOLITAN BILL OF FARE
Though man Is all but omniverous. nothing il
more difficult than to induce any given man
civilized or barbarOus, TO taste aud like q new
dish. He was certainly bold man who first atC
an oyster. When Captain Cook first visited thC
Sandwich Islands, he invited the King Of 0wy
hee to dine with him, and his Majesty was in
duced to inaugurate the repast with mOuthiu
Of bread, Wand entirely novel TO him. NJ
sooner had he got taste than he spat i out
with every symptom of disgust; and declining
further prandial ventures, returned ashore TO hi
customary roast dog and dccayed fish. The ia
panese refuse beef and milk. but eat rats Tht
New Hollanders surleit themselves with stalk
shark, rancid whale blubber, and earth-wOrm
but regard with horror the white mans s;mplI
breakfast Of bread and butter. The negroes o
the West Indies revel in the luxuries Of baked
snakes and lingrr.lOng palm worms, fried in thciI
own fat but their delicate stOmachs revolt ai
the thought Of rabbit stew. A recent traveller
heard a Barbadian negro thus vent his indgna
ton upon an unlucky market.woman who had
offered him a rabbit: II should jest like TO know
war you take me for, nia'aml You tink me &c
buy rabbit! No, ma'am. Me no cum to dai
yet; for me alAays did say, ind me always wli
say, dat dem who eats rabbit cats pussy and
dem who eats pussy eats rabbit" a delicate
stomach indeedl A Frenchman would doubt
less agree with the Barbadian theory, REVERSING
the practice. however, by eating both cat aIlt
rabbit. The Russian eats tallOw candles Or
Livingstones favorites, the Baro,se. aaect croco
die steaks, and one Of his African friends, SC
the Doctor states, made 'eontented supper on'
evening from blue mole and two mice. The:'
dainties the FreHchman rigbteonsly turns up NJ
