had tho pleasure of meeting ' the man

man who first addressed the judge in

With the best of Anglo-Saxon inten
tionflitis sometimes a little diffionlt to
avoid the use of French terms in cookery
, or a bill of fare.v Here are some that one
encounters constantly. Releve is no dish
in particular so far as the style of : pre
paration is concerned, but answers to
the word, "remove," and consists of a
dish replacing another, a doubling, so to
erak ofth game COQreeTefdre" going
on to the next, it is therefore not un
usual to find in a large dinner a releve de
potage," releve 'de rot, de gihier, etc. ' Eui
tree is a made dish served after the fish
or in its stead, where . it is not obtain
able, and -preceding the rots or roast
meat.".- After the latter' comes the entre
mets, i.e.,. sweets or puddings.
' The term ,hors d'euvre is the most dif
ficult . to particularize. T. When cold it
comprises all side dishes which are really
accessories to. the meal. As such they
can be and are eaten indifferently either
before or after the soup; they are always
placed on the table when it is being laid,
and are often left there until the entrees"
have been served." They consist of rad
ishes," olfyes, caviar, boutargue, all man
ner" of salt and smoked fish, sardines,
anchovies and a variety of dainties. ,
'' Hot hors-d"e'uvre are almost unlimited;
they are very acceptable .at large din
ners, and are -generally served immedi
ately after the soup and before the fish;
, they are often fried or baked,and are
then usually such things as can be dished
on a napkin, such as patties, rissoles.
i croquettes, vol-auvent. etc.: ohvirtrmlir.
i however, the series can be very much
extended.. At ordinary family dinners
they are of teu, served as and instead of
