HEAVY EATERS.
CurIous Culinary ENHANCES Among
the Germans.

Curious Culinary INSTANCES Among
the Germans.
The Germans, always celebrated for
heavy eating, furnish us with some curl
Gus culinary items. In tie middle ages
the goose was the grand dish among
them: but they also ate crows, storks,
cranes, herons, swans and bitterns--these
last named dishes being arranged in
circle of honor around the goose. The
reicr or European vulture, the Gog-fsh,
the dolphin and even the whale were
eaten; while roast guinea pig was con-
sidered a very great delicacy. All their
foods were highly spiced, and sauces were
endless in their variety, three or four
kinds being served up with each dish.
In these sauces. pepper, mace, cinnamon,
cloves, ginger, garlic saffron and pimento
contended for the mastery, and the more
decided the flavor the better the cook.
OF course, the great art was to arrange
these sauces in an ascending scale OF
piquancy. So great, indeed, was the pas
| sion for highly-tiavored foods that turkeys
| had often an allowance of musk in their
| daily rations. The most fashionable wines
were those of Chios, Cyprus and other
| Greek yintages; but, as highly-flavored
| foods require drink to correspond, the
| wine was generally spiced, and was served
under the name of hippocras Is was not
thought unpolite, even as late as the six
tenth century, for guest to ask his host
what wines he intended to provide, so
that he might make his calculations as to
what he would take before he confined
himself to the particular tipple which
should place him under the table; nor
was it thought unpolite in the middle OF
banquet to undo the girdle in order to
make more room for such tempting It'd
bits as pike-tails, barbels' heads, skin OF
roast goose and swan tongues. The
feast usually commenced at eleven O'Clock
in the forenoon, and the longer the host
could keep the guests at the table the
better was he thought of; but in the mat
ter Of drinking he was expected to en-
courage potation by providing bacchan
allan song, or at least by being himself
the first to become hors du combat. II
was with this latter object that rich mar
would mix his wines, while poorer one
would contrive to have his homely tank
ard strongly dosed with wine, or ever
spirits when these had become general
