The Gastronomic Regenerator
TRANSLATION FROM THE FRENCH OF A CULINARY DIALOGUE BETWEEN LORD M.
H. AND A. SOYER.--_From the “Gastronomic Regenerator,” p. 611._
S.--You are perfectly right, my Lord, the title of “Gourmet” belongs
only to him who eats with art, science, and care, and even with great
care.
LORD M.--The “Gourmand” is never entitled to the name of “Gourmet;” the
one eats without tasting, whilst the other tastes in eating.
S.--The proud and haughty man, my Lord, orders his dinner from
necessity; the man of the world--the profound epicure--orders his with
delight.
LORD R.--It is quite certain that too much attention cannot be given to
the proper execution of, and the intelligence displayed in, the order of
a dinner. The dinner--being of each day, each season, each century--is
not only an hereditary fashion, but also the soul of sociability; read
history, and you will perceive that, in all times, amongst all people,
the good which has been done--and sometimes the evil--was always
preceded or followed by a banquet.
S.--Nothing is more true, my Lord. Of all the pleasures which are
bestowed upon us in this world, that of the table is the only one which,
when the reins of the car of life become slack, parts from us with
regret, and often, as a faithful friend, leaves us but at the brink of
the tomb; whilst all other pleasures disappear gradually, like the
fading of a beautiful autumn, and cover our heads with the hoary locks
of winter.
LORD M.--It is positive that the gift of degustation belongs to all ages
of life,--a centenarian whom I knew well retained this pleasure until
his last hour.
S.--Our degustative senses require continual study, and unceasingly
claim a constant change.
LORD M.--The greatest wit lacks eloquence, if he neglect too much the
nature of his repast.
S.--Which proves, my Lord, that our most agreeable sensations depend,
not solely on nature, but on the care we take of ourselves.
LORD M.--Yes, the more sensitive the soul, the greater the power of
degustation. The degustative sensations operate with as great activity
on the palate as the charm of melody acts on the ear; for example, man
in a state of madness feels the want of eating, but the enchanting
pleasure of degustation is as much denied to him as that of reason.
S.--Your argument on this point is extremely just, my Lord; and are you
not of my opinion, that nothing disposes the human heart to amicable
feelings more than a dinner well conceived and artistically prepared?
LORD M.--It is that which has always made me say that a good cook is as
useful as a good tutor.
S.--I have always perceived, my Lord, that the finest palate is the most
difficult to please, but also the most just in praise.
LORD M.--The choice of wines is of great importance in the progress of a
dinner: a fine wine, light and generous, protects the cook and becomes
the benefactor of the guest.
S.--Permit me also to observe, my Lord, that a gastronomic _réunion_,
without the _beau sexe_ is to me a flower-bed without flowers, an ocean
without waves, a fleet without sails.
LORD M.--Certainly, such _réunions_ are the cradles of good manners and
sociability, even as intemperance is the tomb of morality.

Extract from “Healthy Skin, a Popular Treatise on the Skin and Hair.”
By Erasmus Wilson, F.R.S.
There is another branch of dietetics that calls for an observation from
me, I mean the diet of children. Children are growing animals; nutrition
in them is active, and calls for good and plentiful material in the
shape of nourishment. As far as period is concerned, the same law that
applies to adults is equally suited to them, three meals a day, an
interval of four hours between each. I speak of children out of arms,
not of infants. The substance of their meals cannot be too nutritive, or
too much varied.
That the diet of children cannot be too varied or extensive is a
doctrine I have long held; and I was recently much charmed in finding
the subject treated with such admirable sense and judgment by a high
authority in the science of living--Soyer. His letter entitled “The
Nursery Dinner,” in the “Modern Housewife,” I cannot too strongly
commend to the perusal and attention of my readers, and to the study of
those on whom the proper rearing of children in any way rests. Speaking
of the diet of children for the day, this author writes:--“Bread and
milk for breakfast at eight; the dinner at one, which was composed as
follows throughout the week,--roast mutton and apple pudding, roast beef
and currant pudding, baked apples; boiled mutton with turnips, after
which rice or vermicelli pudding; occasionally a little salt beef, with
suet dumplings, plain and with currants in them, or pease pudding; or if
unwell, a little veal or chicken broth, or beef-tea.”
This scheme of diet is intended for the children of persons in very
moderate circumstances; but for those who can afford it he prescribes,
as the dinner of one day, roast mutton: “then the next day I would give
them a small piece of mutton plain boiled, with turnips, and apple tart,
or a few slices of roast beef, or a small piece roasted on purpose,
after which a very plain currant pudding; or, occasionally, a little
pickled pork, with pease pudding, or roast pork, with baked apples, and
now and then a little salt beef, but very well boiled, with suet
dumplings, and occasionally, for change, either bread, vermicelli, or
tapioca puddings; in case of illness, and with the approbation of the
doctor, veal, mutton, or chicken-broth, sago, gruel, panada, &c. Many
people may perhaps imagine that there is too much variety of food for
children, but it is quite the contrary, for change of food is to the
stomach what change of air is to the general health; and of course, with
children, these changes must be effected with judgment.”
Soyer is perfectly right with regard to the question of variety of food
for children; and the intention is so rational, that it is difficult to
conceive how a difference of opinion can exist with regard to its truth;
and yet I have heard parents make a boast that their children were fed
exclusively upon mutton, as though it were their intention to render the
stomach incapable of supporting and digesting any other kind of
food,--in which they generally succeed.
Sameness of food, improper food, defective ventilation, and insufficient
exercise, are the causes of most of the diseases of children; and
especially of cutaneous complaints. This is the secret of the ring-worms
and scald-heads of public seminaries. In some of these institutions, as
I have heard, there is a ceremony in which the children take a public
meal in the presence of the governors and their friends. On these
occasions, the platters eclipse in whiteness the envious snow; a
suppressed burst of delight is heard from the spectators; the morsel of
cheese, cut with mathematical precision, would not vary a grain in the
thousand platters; the bread--what ingenuity!--each with his neighbour a
very twin. And how many days in the year do the children enjoy this
fattening collation?--365. For three hundred and sixty-five days, for a
thousand children, is this “_toujours perdrix_” feast the very same; and
yet there are people in the world who wonder that diseases should break
out, that skin affections should be rife, that consumptions should
prevail. Engraft a bud of Soyer on such an institution, and health and
happiness, learning, ability, and talent will take the place of disease,
melancholy, stupidity, and common-place intellect. What, now, in this
intelligent country, if there were a college of cookery, with Soyer for
its head?

NOTE BY THE AUTHOR.
In the year 1846 I published a work on Cookery, entitled “The
Gastronomic Regenerator,” which was very successful. At page 650 I
observed that if any author were to write a work on the History of Food
and Cookery, it would not only be very interesting, but also an
extremely useful production. No one, however, having entertained my
suggestion, I determined to undertake the task, and, after several years
of deep study and perseverance, have completed this voluminous work.
In the “Modern Housewife,” which I published in 1849, treating of sauces
prepared by the ancients, I said, that “In all ages and countries
removed from barbarism, where fish has formed an article of diet, sauces
of various kinds have been an accompaniment. With the Romans, in the
time of Lucullus, great care was observed in their preparation; the most
celebrated of those which they used were the _Garum_ and the _Muria_.
“The Garum was a sauce which the Romans used in nearly all their dishes;
the preference was given to that which came from Antipolis and from
Dalmatia. Horace praises that made at Byzantium, being the most esteemed
and the most expensive: its composition is unknown.”[I] The epicures of
the present day should offer a premium for that which, in their opinion,
may bear the greatest resemblance to this ancient relish. It is a
subject well worthy the attention of the professors of our universities;
perhaps some leaf yet undiscovered, that may have escaped the
conflagration of Alexandria, might throw some light upon so interesting
a subject.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
The Foundation’s business office is located at 41 Watchung Plaza #516,
Montclair NJ 07042, USA, +1 (862) 621-9288. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
