Names Of Dainty Dishes.

The names bestowed upon certain
dishes have often an origin entirely dis
tinct from technical consideration. This
is true of the well known epigrammes
dagneau a la Michelet. or la Toulouse,
as il is more frequently called. Miche-
let was the cook OF a young French
marquise OF the last century who was
noted for her lack Of education. On a
certain occasion she gave a dinner to
the officers Of the regiment Choiseul
Cavalerie. During the function the
guests spoke of a banquet that they had
attended on the previous evening, at
which the host had entertained them
with many new and brilliant epigrams.
The marquise supposed that epigrams
referred to culinary surprises. Conse-
quently she summoned Michelet, her
cook, and ordered him to prepare some
epigrams for dinner on the following
day. Michelet was greatly troubled as
to how he was to obey the order He
recollected. however, that he had in the
larder some very superior lamb. He
braised the breast removed the bones,
cut the meat into pieces and bread
crumbed and fried them He then cook
ed the outlets. arranged them on a dish
alternately with the braised breast and
served them, with a suitable garnish,
under the name of epigrammes d'agneau
a la Michelet, by which name, or a la
Toulouse the concoction has ever since
been known.
