But coming nearer home, our ow n
English ancestors, in the fourteenth
century, for lenten food paid fabu
lous prices for delicate bits of the
whale, porpoise and grampus. For
I a long while the flesh of the por
poise was the main ingredient in
'quite a variety of fashionable dish-
es. It retained great favors among
epicures, and was served at the ta
ble even as late as the time of Hen
ry VIII. And there is yet to lx;
1 found in the British Museum a rec
ipe for making “puddyngs of j>or-
poiae.” Capt. Colvett, It. N. from
II. M. 8. ltuttler, in 1793 writes
from the const of Mexico, on paral
lel 19.28 north: “We saw porpoises
in abundance, and took many of
them, which wo mixed with salt
pork and mado excellent sausages.”
This was merely a matter of taste,
or maybe the way those folks were
raised. Can’t sonic enterprising
utilitarian revive tlie trade for
I “paddyng of porpoise” or the “ex*
jceHent porpotee sausages.” The
material is abundant in our river—
who knows but that “there’s mil
lions in it,” and that before many
seasons “porpoise pudding” and
“porpoiie sausage” may not occupy
an important place on tho bills of
fare of Delmonico’s of New York
and all fashionable restaurants of
Paris and London.
