QUEER FOOD.
DsIicaeieS of Our Foreign Born
Citizens.

The Germans OF New York have
storee in which specially Teutonic
delioacies are veHded. Fried, OF
rather smoked goose is an odd fea-
ture of these. Smoked geese come
from Pomerania, where their living
originals are raised in immense
f1ocks. They are plucked for their
down, and then killed, cut in sec
tons, very elightly sailed and smoked.
Pomersnian goose, however, costs
twenty-five cents q pound, and is es-
teemed great dainty among German
epicures.
There are couple of stores here
where Spanish edibles are dealt in.
These consist chiefly OF nuts and
dried fruit. Dried goat meat forms
favorite feature. Il lie prepared
very much IS our dried beet is. The
Spaniards seem to rely more on their
peculiar methods OF cooking what
they eat than on any peculiarly OF
the food itself.
The peculiArities OF the French
food stores are beyond scrutiny. The
question with regard TO them is not
what they do, but VIVA; they do not
sell. There is probably nothing
from section OF boiler iron or q
cobble stons down to bent pin or a
broken horse shos nail that French
man csnnet provide dressing for to
make it sppstizing. An odd feature
OF the French shops to an American
is the morse meat department. They
all deal ia horse flesh, both fresh,
dried and sailed. Horse flesh sausa-
gee, made, or supposed to be made,
in Lyons, and called Lyons saussges.

a compound OF ssses' flesh. pork and
veal, aIeo have an extensive sale.
Sharks fms, dried, are sold in every
