Dinner was generally served at p. m.
1t was abundant to profusion. The wines
were excellent, being the choicest pro.
duce of French and Spanish vineyards,
whose quality was remarked by almost
all visitors to Ireland; and the potations
were, as ut tho same period In England,
long and deep. Costly silver, handsome
glass and china, and tho finest linen ap-
pcared in all the better class houses. A
characteristic feature was the potato
ring" This was Of silver, richly chased,
and was used to support the great bowl
In which potatoes wero then brought
to table. The sequence OF courses diff
fered widely from that now general.
Soups came in the third or fourth place;
fish, flesh and sweets jostled each other;
while potted meats and cold pastieF were
not unfrequent items on the bill OF fare.
For more accurate knowledge Of what
our ancestors ate at their principal meal
we arc indebted to a chronicler Of the
time. In 1747 she sends tho following
menu of dinner to her sister, the quaint
spelling is retained: First course-Fish,
becfsteaks, rabbit and onions, fillet Of
veal, blamange, cherries, Dutch cheese.
Second course--Turkey, pout [poult?]
salmon, picked salmon, grilde [grilsefl
and quaills, little terrene peas, cream,
mushrooms terreno, apple pye, crabs,
leveret, cheese cakes, almond cream, cur
rants and gooseberries, orange butter.
-Raspberries and cream, sweet
meats and jelly, Strawberries and cream.
She adds: 81 give rs little hot meat as
possible. The invitation was to beef
steaks which we arc famous for."-
