30. Food in Season
There is an old maxim, "A place for everything, and everything in its place," To which may be added another, "A season for everything, and everything in season."
[Fish, Poultry, &c, whose names are distinguished by
Italics
in each month's "Food in Season," are to be had in the highest perfection during the month.]
