AN OLD MENU
Our forefathers were keen gourmets. I have been perusing an elaborate menu of a civic banquet, accorded to the DuliO of Edinburgh at the new Exhibition I tall in Melbourne in 1807. 'l'be generous fare comprised six varieties of soup, including real turtle, and kangaroo tail, four varieties of fish, 11 selections of entrees, including wallaby, premier service—six dishes second service—roast turkey, fowl, gosling, teal, duck, sucking pig and snipe, and sweets, 19 different dishes, in addition to fruits in season. Sparkling and still wines on tho list were all imported, and tho only local product was Victorian seltzer.water.
