 Dinner given to Ainger on completion of his Edition of
Lamb.

29 ALBERT HALL MANSIONS,
TUESDAY, Mm-c/L 20, 1888.

MENU.

“That enough is as good as a Feast. Not a man, woman,
or child in ten miles round Guildhall, who really believes this
saying. The inventor of it did not believe it himself. It was
made in revenge by somebody who was disappointed of a regale.
It is a Vile cold scrag—of—mutton sophism; a lie palmed upon
the palate which knows better things.”—P0pular Fallacies.

CLEAR SOUP.

When I have sat, a rams hospes, at rich men‘s tables, with
the savoury soup—Grace before. meat.

FISH.

“I, too, never eat but one thing at dinner,” was his reply,
then after a pause—“ reckoning fish as nothing.”—Ellistoniana.

BRAVV N.

Brawn was a noble thought. It is not every common gullet-
fancier that can properly esteem of it. As Wordsworth sings
of a modest poet. “ You must love him ere to you he will seem
worthy of your love.” So Brawn you must taste it ere to you it
will seem to have any taste at all.—Letter to dimming.

The cool malignity of mustard and vinegar.—Letter to
dimming.
LAMB CUTLETS

(WITH GREEN PEAS).

“Pei-chance some shepherd, on Lincoluian plains,
In manners guileless as his own sweet flocks,
Received thee first amid the merry mocks
And arch allusions of his fellow swains;
as * * * * -x-

Whate’er the fount whence thy beginnings came
N0 deed of mine shall shame thee, gentle name.”

Lamb’s Sonnet on the Family Name.

ROAST PIG.

Of all the delicacies in the whole mundus edibilis, I will
maintain it to be the most delicate—princeps obsoni0rmn.——A
Dissertation upon Roast Pig.

ROAST CAPON, WITH SALAD.

“Tame villatic fowl.”
She was to sup off a roast fowl, 0 joy to Barbara.
Barbara S.

SW EETS.
STEWED FIGS. WINE JELLY.

C. holds that a man cannot have a pure mind who refuses
apple dumplings. I am not certain but he is right—Grace
before meat.

Do take another slice Mr Billet; for you do not get pudding
every day—Poor Relations.

DESSERT.

Pineapple is great. She is indeed almost too transcendent,
a delight, if not sinful, yet so like to sinning that really a tender-
conscienced person would do well to pause—Dissertation on
Roast Pig.

He ate walnuts better than any man I know. Letter to
Ric/email.

‘VINES.
PORT. SHERRY. CLARET.

After all—ones instincts may be best, wine I am sure, good
mellow generous Port, can hurt nobody—Letter to Coleridge.

The dinner went off with brilliance, and Ainger brought a
little bust of Lamb that he possessed to preside in the middle
of the table.
