Westminster (London, England) -- Description and travel
[6] See Lacroix, _Les Arts au Moyen Age_, for a sensible _résumé_ of
the whole question.
[7] The chine is always considered the nicest part of the pork, either
roasted or boiled, and is monstrous fine eating when the Norfolk
Turkies are in season.
[8] The tail of a little roasted pig is a nice morsel.
[9] Porkey was the Sow’s name.
[10] Patty is an abbreviation of the Christian name Martha. Patty
contains five letters--Martha has six.
[11] A baker’s dozen is thirteen.
[12] Stye is the name of a place where hogs, pigs, and sows are usually
kept.
[13] China is a great place in the Eastern world, where I have never
been in. But I have cups and saucers, and tea, and a mandarin, and two
fire screens that were actually made there.
[14] Sage chopped in the brains is very common, and if the little
tongue is put among them, it makes the dish better.
[15] The place which contains the entrails, and when stuffed with sweet
things is delicious.
[16] Egg sauce is common in Ireland with pigs.
[17] Potatoes--a vegetable something like a turnip, but more like an
apple. They are sold in Covent Garden, and the Irish are fond of them.
