Show Fancies of the Stomach. The human stomach is indeed a singular sin-gular organ. At the gastronomic tastes of individuals differ, so do those ,'f na- 1 tions or of localities. The "corn pone" ' has never found favor in New England, and, on the other hand, the baked beans of Boston have few devotees in New Orleans. The French epicure care little for the venison steak and currant jelly that the gourmands the other side of tha Ithine smacks their lips over and the "tans" of apple and rhubarb which the Englishman loves have no cult outside the Cnited Kingdom. Germans, though their southern boundary is but a few hours distant from the land of macaroni, abhor that delicacy, without which the true-born Neapolitan would starve, and the Italian Ital-ian would certainly grow faint and sick at some of the combinations of meats that make the Teuton ruddy cheeked and strong. |
