In _Suse_ I had a Bag of Honey brought by a Friend who made a Present of it, as being of great Esteem, and such as they present to Men of greatest Note among them. This, he told me, I was to eat a little of every Morning, to the quantity of a Walnut; it was thick as _Venice_ Treacle, and full of small Seeds. I used to breakfast on it for several Days together, taking the said quantity at a time; it always made me sleepy, but I found my self well, and in very good temper of Body after it. The Seeds were about the bigness of Mustard, and, according to the Description of them to me, and the Effects I found by eating the Honey and them, they must be a large sort of Poppy-seed. The Honey was of that sort they call in _Suse_, _Izucanee_, or _Origanum_, which (the Bees feed on) and these Seeds were mixed with. _Cuscus_, or _Cusksoo_, is the principal Dish among them, as the _Olla_ is in _Spain_: This is made of Flower of Wheat, and when that is scarce, of Barley, Millet, _Indian_ Corn, _&c._ They shake some Flower into an earthen Pan, made on Purpose, which is not glazed, sprinkling a little Water on the bottom of the Pan first, and then working it with both their open Hands flat, turning them backwards and forwards to grain it, 'till they make it much resembling _Sago_, which comes from the _East-Indies_. They stew their Flesh keeping their Pots close covered, which are made of Earth, put the _Cusksoo_ into an earthen Cullender, which they call _Caskass_, B. _vid._ Fig. and this Cullender into the Mouth of the Pot, C. that so all the Steam which arises from the Meat may be imbibed by the _Cusksoo_, which causes it to swell, and make it fit to be eaten: When it is enough, for they love every thing thoroughly done, they put this _Cusksoo_ out into the Dish they serve it up in, which is somewhat like D. and the _Cusksoo_ being heaped up, they make (as it were) a Bed or Place for the Meat to lie in, then they put good store of Spice, as Ginger, Pepper, Saffron, _&c._ This Dish is set upon a Mat on the Ground, and four Men may easily sit about it, tho' I have seen six and more at one Dish; they sit with their Buttocks upon the Calves of their Legs, with the bottom of their Feet on the Ground. If there are many to eat at this Meal, there are more Dishes. This Dish they have in use sometimes at Breakfast, as well as Dinner and Supper, but it is commonly used for the two last Meals. They cover it with a thing made on purpose, somewhat like E. and it will keep hot enough two Hours. At a stately Entertainment they will have a Sheep roasted whole, sometimes a half, or a quarter, on a wooden Spit, or the most convenient thing they can find. They do not continually keep turning it, as we do, but leisurely let one side be almost roasted before they turn the other. The Fire is commonly of Wood burnt to clear Coal, and made so, that the Heat ascends to the Meat. They baste it with Oil, and a little Water and Salt incorporated. They let it
