HINTS TO YOUNG FOOD-PRODUCERS.
Jugged Hare.—A well-known firm of hare-raisers in Carmelite Street informs us that young rabbits fed on sponge-cake soaked in port wine have a flavour which renders them indistinguishable from hare.
Celeriac.—-This appetising vegetable has been little cultivated owing to a general but erroneous belief that it was the name of a new kind of motor-car. "Celeriac" is of course a compound of the word "celery" and the Arabic suffix "ac," which means "bearing a resemblance to" or "a small imitation of." Thus it would be correct for the writer to speak of the salariac he earns by writing this sort of thing.
[Note.—"Earns" would not be correct.—ED.]
Navigation Extraordinary.
"Although the stern and screws of the vessel were well out of the water she was able to make the port under her own steam."—Daily Mail.
"Portatoes in the usual forms have disappeared this week.—LORNA."—British Weekly.
These must be the Devonportatoes of which we have heard so much.
