a Christmas Feast i'm Africa.

Mr.. Reade, in his work on Savage Africa, y
gives the following account Of a remarkable re.
past he once partOok of in that country
That Christmas morning | enjoyed a stipend
GUS repast. The mouths of members of the Ac-
climatization Society will water as they read. 1t
was a collection OF astronomical ~rarities a it's
sue of eccent1icities de cuisine.
We commenced with snails. brought from
France in barrels filled with. flour, which rad
preserved them admirably. They were prepared
ar gr0fin, and we forked them out of their re-
treats with instruments unpleasantly resembling
toothpicks. We had also oysters torn from trees.
Our fish consisted of African soles, carp, and
muliet. Detestable in themselves, they illustrated
the skill of the cuisinier.
Then followed the gazelle outlets q Ia pap,Yofe.
Two small monkeys served cross-legged and with
liver sauce. on toast. Stewed iguana, which was
much admired. \ dish of roasted crocodile's
eggs. Some slices of smoked elephant (from the
interiOr,) which none of us could touch. 4 few
agreeable plates of fried locusts, land crabs (pre-
viOusly fattened,) and other crustacee. The
breasts of a mermaid, or manatee the grand
bOnneboucAe of the repast. Some boiled alliga-
tor. which had q taste between pork and cod,
with the addition of a musky flavor. And some
hippOpOtamous steaks dHr pODlnes de terre.
We might have obtained a better dessert at
Convent Garden, where one can see the bright
side of the tropics without the trouble or expense
of travelling. But we had pine-apples, oranges,
roasted plantains, silver bananas, papaws (Which,
Wneu maze INTO q tart VIII Cloves, might ne
taken for apples and a variety of fruits which
had long native names. curious shapes. and all
of them very nasty tastes. But | must not omit
the famous palm-cabbage.
1t is enormously supposed that it is peculiar to
one tree which is called the cabbage-palm 1t Is,
however, the bud of the tree, so 70 speak, and is
found in all the palms, though in some it is red,
in others white. 1t is a great luxury indeed. to
eat one is like eating a whole tree, for the palm
always dies when the cabbage is cut out.
Throughout this country, therefore, it is forbid
den food but Europeans may sometimes infringe
the law by paying a large sum. When raw it
tastes like celery, but when stewed ar sauce blanc,
as upon this occasion. it is not 10 be compared
with any vegetable of mortal growth. 1t must
have been the ambrosia OF the gods.
