AU Books intended for Review should be addressed to the Editor of The Freemason ' s Chronicle , Belvidere Works , Hermes Hill , Pentonville , London , N . Cyclopcedia of Foods , Condiments , and Beverages . By J . W . Hoffman . London : Simpkin , Marshall and Co ., Stationers' Hall Court . THE author of this work is the consulting chemist of the Pure
Comestible Company , 287 Portobello-road , Notting Hill , W . The book contains a collection of information useful to housewives aud chefs de cuisine , and the various recipes are described in an entertaining manner , quite different to the now old-fashioned cookery books We regret the items are not more numerous ; but that , we suppose , is a matter for future volumes . There is an interesting introduction ,
in whioh we read that it is " on record that at tbe marriage banquet of Richard , Earl of Cornwall , in 1243 , the moderate number of 30 , 000 dishes were served for the occasion . " Forks were unknown in England . Bread and meat were presented to the gnest on the sharp point of the knife ; be then ont smaller pieces , whioh he conveyed with fingers on the left hand to the mouth . Tablecloths were unknown , bub in
the 16 th century , when they did come into use , fchey were made expensive luxuries , some of them costing £ 20 eaoh . In these days we prefer to sink the money in what is placed on the olotb . Among the various dishes , the author pepetuates an epicurean one whioh , in its day , must have been a slow poison to bilious subjects . It is called " Angels on Horseback , " and consists of" Oysters enveloped in slices
of bacon , rolled up and toasted , and served up on slices of toast or bread . " A dyspeptic , who was unable to resist his craving , has been known to reconcile himself to the inevitable by ordering " Kidneys for one ! " and reflectively murmuring to himself , " Torture for two !" but to him what would " Angels on Horseback " mean ? We fancy
his reply— " Devils , with wings . " Tha author ' s style is chatty j he has been careful in his selection of liqueurs and dishes ( " Angels on Horseback " excepted ) , and the student in cookery as well as the professional chef will find the volume handy for service in their pursuit of catering wholesome food , the concomitants of whioh are described for general guidance in a manner intelligible to all .
